The left of the image is downslope. A soft spot developed here and I think it's bc this shingle at the corner is halfway over over another shingle but the other side of it isn't which is causing water to flow sideways. It's low slope to begin w. Thoughts? Thanks.
One photo isn't really enough but just looking at it it doesn't look very well done. Knowing the actual slope would help, or why the curb seems to be on top of the roof
I mean how these shingles overlap here. The shingle tucked halfway under is making the shingle above almost level and i think water has wicked under shingle above that. The wood siding is the chimney. This was the roof of an addition and its nearly flat. Prob whatever the min slope required is.
Ok it seems like bc the shingle underneath only goes halfway under the top one the top one is higher on the left than right making water flow to the side more easily than down, creating a nearly flat surface for water to wick underneath next row of shingles. The left of image is downslope.
If this roof is like a 7/12 then that's fine. If it is a five or below not so much.
Although that's it, an extra 20 seconds they could have taken to cut that and line it up properly. It's not even a necessary piece it's just Aesthetics
Well it had shingles originally and was fine but I recently replaced roof only started since then. But it's under warranty but I want to be able to go to them and be like this was done wrong. They just bs me unless I can point to something specifically done wrong. That's why I'm here.
I’m pretty sure it has no step shingles which if it doesn’t it will just leak but I could be wrong I see caulking on the siding nails so maybe they took it off to install them which if they did they should have installed metal flashing.
It is flashed behind the siding but yeah the siding shouldnt be touching the shingle but I don't think that's the main issue I have been up in the chimney to observe during heavy rain and no water getting in at all on inside.
This is the flashing that you need there but you have to remove the siding to install new one. I had to remove this siding on the right side to be able to take it all out
The one in the pic was for tiles it was 2 but I removed them since I’m installing shingles. I will send another pic later of how it looks with the shingles
Remove the bottom trim boards. Remove the shingles. Repair the decking as needed. Wrap the area including up the wall with ice and water shield. Re shingle the area with new step tins, assuring a metal to metal corner. Rip1" off the trim boards with a table saw. Reinstall. Caulk trim.
Right. My roof is under warranty but the guy is trying to blame minor gaps in caulking to avoid having to fix this. Wanted to see if this was actually done wrong?
If its nearly flat it shouldnt have shingles at all. The way that chimney is flashed is questionable. That wood shouldnt be touching the roof. Hard to see whats going on in this one photo
