Litespeed Construction inspected this roof in Knoxville, TN. The homeowner told us that the roof is probably about 20 years old. You can see on the roof that there is an age to it. The pipe boots are rotting, and various nail pops and missing shingles.
The gutter guards on this home are perfect, but they are improperly placed. The guards need to be going completely under the shingles for them to work properly. We will be setting them correctly with the new roof
This roof has a few issues. Various nail pops are very common for these older three-tab roofs. The pipe boots are rotting out, making the water very easy to get through. There are also a couple of missing shingles on the backside.
This home has the old-style ridge vent. These vents are notorious for leaks, and with the new roof, we will install a new ridge vent with shingles over it.
When we replace the roof, we will be replacing the metal transition from the shingles to the metal. We will be using a stronger and longer-lasting metal.
