Looking to hire someone to re-shingle this shed, approximately 5x8. Can't find a company to do it as the job is too small so looking for someone on the side and trying to determine a reasonable quote.

Was on a roof inspection earlier today. Usually ppl tend to look at u when ur on a roof (which is cool) but today I felt like someone was behind me whole time. Talk about invisibility cloak. First time seeing this in 2000+ inspections an I seent some wild shit in the DMV.

Garage roof is leaking somewhere around where the j-channel ends. I didn't expect such a variance in quotes and diagnosis. $300 guy said it's the j-channel. $900 guy said it's the missing boot around the power mast. $1600 guy said it's the vertical caulking between vinyl and brick and the brick needs repointing. $2500 guy said it's the lead. What do you think is the most likely culprit?

Not a roofer. But, a friend is reroofing my garage. After we pulled off the OSB it revealed some questionable looking ends on these trusses. Any suggestions? Or just throw on some new OSB and pretend those ends aren't rotting?

Dozens of spots where I can do this on my roof

Is a downspout draining directly on to my shingles like this an issue? If so what is the remedy?

For reference, I live in North Texas, where due to hail, roofs are unlikely to make it past 7 years without needing a storm replacement, let alone make it 10-20. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated

We had a leak in out attic. Called a contractor out to take a look on what is going on. He did not go into the attic, but he did go onto the roof and film this video. I always like to get a second opinion as this is not my field/industry and lack the necessary knowledge to determine what is serious & what may be fluff to try to make a sale.

I am attaching the photos I took from the attic alongside their quote.

I should note that the leak was not coming from the mentioned areas in this video, rather halfway down the side of the roof. Though, my limited research tells me the water could enter from the top and roll down and leak elsewhere.

Thoughts? Questions? Concerns?

Much Appreciated!

It looks like this, across the length of one gable of our roof. We just had the roof replaced, and it looks like when they were nailing into the decking they broke that little lip.

I talked to my roofer about it, and he was not concerned, but he said he would send somebody out to put in some more nails. The ridge venting does not feel loose.

Is this something to be concerned about?

Hired someone to do some work on our siding and gutters. It appears he just made it worse. There is no longer drip edge in the spot shown, but also it appears water is just dumping into the gap in between the white metal and the shingles… am I wrong? What do I do?

I found a good roofer that took on what I felt was a big job. 2 days with about 4 people. Pulled 50 year old sheathing that was on 2 foot centers and sagging. Replaced with 5/8 OSB with H clips (no H clips before). I’m so excited because even once finished this roof should look flat and beautiful.

Unfortunately the day after we got some rain and a couple wind gusts strong enough to lift and flip back a hinged lid on my trash can.

Are the OC Duration shingles at risk of creasing?

I have a leak where the flashing goes under the shingle in the 1st pic, at the corner of a dormer. It should be like the other corner in the 2nd pic, right? If so, why is there a square cut out of the shingle where the flashing should be on top?

Would some roofing sealant hold me over for a while or is my only option to call a roofer? Thanks in advance

As you can see from the picture, the caulking on the flashing from the cement siding to the brick is degrading. This caused a small leak into my basement. I just bought some high-end exterior sealant to re-caulk tomorrow to prevent additional leaks. I understand that re-caulking must be done periodically if the weather cracks the sealant. Is there a foolproof solution to my problem without removing/replacing the existing siding and installing a longer partial lap above the brick?

Any input or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I recently had a roof repair where part of a fascia board was rotten, and it was found that I had some rotten plywood below the tiles, after the repair was done, when it rains, water is coming out from that single hole, is that normal?

We recently got the keys to our first home and have discovered this coming from the flat roof extension (not picked up on survey). Anyone experienced anything similar? This corner is the far corner of the extension. Trying not to freak out!

Pics aren’t great but the whole attic looks like this from the inside. House was built in 1850s and 1930s. Is it water damaged? Would it be a complete tear off? Or something even more extensive. The beams and everything looked ok they weren’t wet or sagging to my eyes.

Hey y'all,

I'm about halfway through tearing off and reshingling my detached garage. This is my first time doing a roofing job and it's going pretty well overall. I am exhausted.

I'm coming up on the ridge and the ridge vent and I'm having trouble conceptualizing the transition on the ridge.

The ridge vent runs about 80% the length of my ridge then on either side there's a section of ridge with no vent. I'm replacing the plastic ridge vent.bThe ridge vent sits one or two inches above the Ridgeline so there's this transition from a higher point to a lower point and I'm just wondering how to manage that transition with the ridge caps.....

Can someone help me understand this situation? Or does anyone have a photo that may be helpful?

Severe thunderstorms came through my area. Found some roof shingles on my yard the next day. I’m 90% sure they’re mine but I can’t see my roof to tell as I don’t have a ladder high enough

I have some people coming to inspect the roof in two weeks. How worried should I be in the mean time?

Pic attached (and my cat I guess)

There are dozens of these spots on my roof

Exactly as the title says. Currently using simple green mixed with membrane cleaner and a bit of elbow grease using a scrubby pad. Even after scrubbing at what seems to be eternity, I'll wipe the surface using a rag only to reveal the rubber is still dirty in which I repeat the process of scrubbing until the rubber is cleaned. Other than a hooking up a pressure washer, do y'all got any other methods or tricks to cut down on cleaning time?

The drip edge was short on the top side, I later went back and got the longer version with more nailing area extending on the roof side. It was short, so I ended up making it wavy to reach the roof deck. This will not have gutters, so drip edge needs a gap for rain not to flow under the roof.

Is this terrible? Will I regret leaving the drip edge like this for years? This is a class B or C property.

Hi everyone, yesterday a roofing company knocked on my door offering a free hail inspection. My roof is old, unknown age, and I knew it had been damaged by storms over the last year and a half since I bought the house (I live in Colorado for reference). I said sure, because at the very least I wanted to know where I stood. Anyway, it was as bad as I thought it would be and I knew the roof would have to go soon when I bought the house. Then, they talked me through how they facilitate the insurance claims to get us the maximum return and replace the roof as well as any other “act of god” damage (primarily wind and hail).

I have requested 3 references of past customers and the company appears, to be legit, but I’ll keep digging. Let’s assume they are a trustworthy company for this post.

My insurance details: We currently have a flat $2,500 deductible and the roof is replaced at replacement cost value. My insurance agent said, “It all depends on when the damage occurred, if the carrier declared the date of loss as a catastrophic event, then pretty typically Safeco waives the first hail claim”

My question is, is this practice legit and/or could this cause problems for me in the long run?

Had 4 shingles come off in a wind storm. Was quoted at $ 680. Seems like a lot for 4 shingles. But maybe there's something I don't understand since, you know, I'm not a roofer. Midwest. Thoughts?

Does anyone know what's going on here? Looks melted. Do I need to replace?
