Litespeed Construction inspected this home with an older three tab roof. The backside of the home had the shingles replaced at some point but they are still not in the best condition. The flashing on both chimneys is in bad condition and falling apart. The small chimney does not have flashing on one side, it appears that the shingles were bent to divert water away from chimney. The roof has some missing shingles and sections of roofing cement that may have been used to fix a leak. This roof also has no ridge vents to allow the roof to breath.
