As you will see in the following pictures and videos this roof is really in need of a replacement but replacing the roof just isn’t feasible for the owner at this time so we will identify the problem areas and fix them. This will help to prolong the life of the roof.
Problem areas on the roof
Table of contents
- Cracks in chimney
- Low nails and nail pops
- Fascia metal installed improperly
- Lots of moss
- Inspection video
- 1Cracks in chimney
These cracks are not only frequent but they are also deep and can cause rain water to penetrate bellow the roof line. We would fix this by caulking the cracks with a mortar friendly adhesive that will last for many years.
Go To Pin - 2Low nails and nail pops
There were nail pops and a handful of nails that were low nailed. One nail I pulled out and caulked you can see the whole nail was rusted from the head to the tip proving water was penetrating all the way through the roof
Go To Pin - 3Fascia metal installed improperly
Whoever installed this metal couldn’t read a tape measure. As you can see the metal is way too wide/tall. This metal should be over a inch smaller as it’s so tall it’s holding the shingles over a inch off the roof. This is causing the shingles to buckle and hold water. This is a major problem. To remedy this problem the metal will need to be cut down to the height of the roof decking so the shingles can sit down and be level. Not to mention the metal is covered in lots of moss
Go To Pin - 4Lots of moss
This roof has more moss than most of the roofs I’ve seen this year combined. We will fix this by taking a stiff bristle broom and sweeping off the roof and then using a leaf blower and blowing off the excess tiny granules and dirt.
