Ok, now I’ve done the “Now a word from our sponsors bit” :mrgreen: here’s what you have to do to win a copy.
Please study the images below and write a report style narative noting the problem(s) and if possible the cause :shock: please post your response in this thread. Keith and I will pick a winner next Monday.
BTW, sorry I forgot to add some information about the roof & coverings
Cracking and excessive loss of granules was noted on the roof covering. This may be due to a manufacturers defect, improper attic ventilation or other cause. This will likely result in shortened life expectancy of the roof covering. Recommend evaluation and remediation as advised by a qualified roofing contractor.
ROOF
NOTED :excessive cracking and granular loss as well as some some lifting and possible moisture intrusion.
Recommendations:as to why the shingles are failing is beyond the scope of this inspection, please check and see if it is still under a manufactures warranty,also a qualified roofing contractor should be called for further examination, I would also recommend a Infra Red Scan buy a certified themographer for possible moisture intrusion.
Ralph & Dennis have done real well with their comments, but the competition will run for a few days, lets see if anyone can come up with the definative report comment.
This roof needs to be evaluated by a qualified roofing company as shingles are defective with cracking and much granule loss. Also noted was that the protective aluminum edging at the edge of the wood sheathing was not installed correctly along with not enough gutter nails. Check for permits on this installation as the roof appears to be less then a four on twelve pitch therefore needing two layers of underlayment installed for correct moisture protection.
