workmanship?

[Jerry Lozier]

10 year old roof in high wind area, said it was put on by licensed ? roofer... roofer globbed mastic around roof vents, plumbing penetrations, painted some kind of semi flexible sealer in valleys (said to prevent wind from blowing them off.... roofer who put it on came back out today and said thats the way it is done), upside down field vent (said it came like that from factory that way.... he really did say that), various repaired areas (from wind blowing off??), several areas with missing shingles, lots of exposed nail heads pulling thru.

I told them substandard workmanship at minimum, that stuff is not needed if roof is put on correctly the first time (and there are high wind precautions they can make when installing) and no way I would ok the roof, Recommend they take it down to sheathing and start over, by a different roofer, and/or at minimum a different roofer repair areas and give a 10 year cert.

Granted it may not affect the life, but I'm not willing to make the call...

What say you????

That is just a crappy roof install! I do not know of any manufacturer that would allow or bless that goop to be painted on a valley like it is shown in the photo.

Looks like there's plenty to write up, but for an encore....do you know what the slope of this roof is?

I didn't measure exact, was not a low slope(less than 3:12)

estimate 4:12 give or take

I would have said exactly what you did, Jerry. Pull that crap off and try, try again.

I probably would have used my Mister Rogers voice and said to the client, "Can you say piece of crap roof?"

ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

roofer who put it on came back out today and said thats the way it is done), upside down field vent (said it came like that from factory that way.... he really did say that)

Yeah, but if he'd turned his truck around, it would have been right side up. He just wasn't thinkin that day. []

NO, he jut put it on the wrong side of the ridge. That vent is for the other side of the roof (any body have a three stooges icon?)

Armed with your Report and Pictures, you might suggest that the home owner contact the manufacturer and distributor, to inform them of the scumbag that they are allowing to buy and install their product. The home owners may get some relief (new shingles, labor cost) for helping kick this guy off the approved installers list.

Hi Ezra,

While that would be great, I don't see it happening in the real world; it's all about making a buck. The manufacturer will sell to anyone that will buy from them. I highly doubt this roofer is on a preferred vendor list.

Jerry, you forgot to mention that there is at least one misaligned course in every pic[:-banghea

That roofer is a moron, it's amazing he got that roof done without nailing himself to it.
