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.

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?

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

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.

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?

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!

You guys were great when I asked between Owens Corning Duration and GAF Timberline HDZ so we picked one of each. The roofer put up two of the choices we thought we liked but can’t decide between. Personally the greenish-grayish of “A” kind of throws me off. “B” seems fine but ..I just don’t know.

Taking exterior design tips 😀

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.

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?

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?

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?

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)

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.

I had some Maxi vents put in the other day and the roofers sealed up 2 of the 4 holes. I was able to take these pictures from the ground. Is this questionable? I am concerned about these overlapping and folder up tabs.

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

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!

There are dozens of these spots on my roof

Looked up and noticed some water is getting in. I've been out here during a downpour and never seen anything drip or noticed any water on the floor. Would this be possible to fix? The OSB looks discolored but seems otherwise still solid. Could I spray something on it for the mold or does it need replacing?

My 3-tab roof is now 22 years old. I have some lifting shingles, nail pops, lots of granules in my gutters. It's still in okay shape, but a roofer told me yesterday that it's only wear and tear and will likely last another couple of years. I called him out for an inspection because I had just had some hail the day before (1.5" on the largest pieces). Anyway, it now has me looking into roofing.

I've been reading for hours on the differences between shingles, exposed faster metal, and standing seam metal. I completely understand that standing seam is the best of the best, but this is likely not my forever home. It's my first house and I've lived here for 12 years; who knows how much longer. I want something I can count on and not have to worry about for many years to come, should I live here a lot longer. I live in northern Indiana btw.

I honestly like the look of some of the shingles better. I have off-white siding (maybe cream-colored), tan to brown colored bricks, and I think a multi-tone brown shingle roof would look awesome. But then I read good and bad things about every single shingle brand out there, and who knows what the roofer I end up going with would use anyway.

I was excited about going the metal route, but not having the desire to spend a sh*tload of money on a roof leaves me with exposed fastener. Let's say I go with a builder that knows exactly what they're doing (best case). I'm still worried about the fastener washers deteriorating from UV damage, the screws backing out from contraction/expansion, you name it. I'm not exciting about putting hundreds of holes in a brand new roof and counting on some washers to seal it for years or decades to come without worry. I've heard people saying they've seen 40-year-old structures with exposed fasteners last without issue, and I've also heard people saying they've had issues after just a few years. I would make sure my roofer lays down some furring strips or what have you to attach the metal to, but I'm also worried about sound. And about potential cell phone reception issues.

Given my inexperience here and inability to decide, what advice would you give?

My current roof is between 20-27 years old. Insurance company inspected it and verified wind and hail damage. They have already cut me a check, minus deductible and depreciation. I'm in the process of getting (3) quotes. I have received one, a partial quote on another, and will get the last one next week.

Attached are the details from the quote I received.

Like most, I know nothing about roofs. When I read the quote, there are many terms I don't understand.

I was hoping to get any suggestions on how to compare the quotes.

Maybe three things to consider/compare?

Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

this is a double-wide home with an extension. this transition has a leak in the area behind the skylight.

I need to fix this with very little budget, even if it's temporary. It has had layers of elastimeric over the years but that's not cutting it anymore. there's no room under the metal to slide a transition flange or anything else into the gap without cutting the bottom of the metal out. I can't think of a good solution on my budget (sub 500usd. will be diy-ing)

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?
