Residential Roof Inspection in Knoxville, TN. I had to inspect this residential roof in Knoxville, Tennessee, carefully. This roof had a big tarp that had been installed because there was a hole in the roof so I had to make extremely careful not to step anywhere near this hole in the roof.
The old three-tab shingles were definitely needing to be replaced, and this roof is in bad shape from blistering and old age.
We won’t be able to save these all-gutter guards when we are also reroofing this house because they are in terrible shape.
