5) Inspect this please

I observed damaged and/or loose shingles, moderate to severe corrosion on venting pipe caps, and roof debris in one or more areas during the inspection. Recommend further evaluation and correction of the loose/damaged roof covering material and corroded venting pipe caps by a licensed roofing contractor, as well as general debris removal on the roof.
