There are 4 gable roof planes on this home side by side with an area in between the planes that is flat. Where it is flat, there is a rubber roof membrane installed. It is properly sloped for drainage, however, where it is tucked under the shingles, it is not sealed. I know some of the shingles has slid as well. What are your thoughts on this installation!
Looks like the had the right idea, but not done correctly.
They went down too far with the shingles.
The EPDM should of gone up the slope of the gables a couple of feet and then the shingles would come down a foot and stay at that level across so the shingles are not stepped and poke holes through the membrane unnecessarily. Hard to tell how far the membrane goes up the slope as is.
Completely agreed. I knew it didn’t look right, but wasn’t sure how. Its that voice in the back of your head that makes you say, “hmmmm”
I agree with Marcel. Good idea but need correction by a qualified roofer.
Thanks so much guys. Awesome
In one of the pictures the shingles are installed on the flat roof section, insufficient pitch.
There has been, and will continue to be, a concentrated source point of water at that valley exit due to the design. The roof/siding/gutters below that area will be prone to water damage.
What did it look like when you peeked under a few of those shingles?
I won’t call that installed, look at the first picture, they’re not even nailed and sliding out.
It is screwed up. Needs remediation repair by a qualified roofer.
“qualified roofer”, such an oxymoron in today’s world… but ya, that install doesn’t look kosher like others pointed out.
why are You being so hard on this guy? You throw a little sod up there and a couple of folding chairs instant roof garden…
I could only see under there a few inches. Dirt and the rubber membrane.

You’ve got to say, I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough I can have it. It’s called perseverance. – Lee Iacocca
I was thinking the water level would be high enough to saturate the nail penetrations, rot them out, and the shingles would slide down. With a closer look at the pics, I do not see any nail holes.
Shingles will need to be stepped to account for the mid section slope, but like you mentioned, at a higher elevation.
LMAO. Yep, you could do that too. Lol
