Roof replacement inspection Knoxville, TN.
Roofs need to be carefully inspected before installation. This roof has a lot of siding and flashing issues that need to be discussed prior to construction.
The chimneys are probably going to need to be deleted or demolished. There are several places where the roof flashing is vulnerable to leaking. Litespeed Construction is bringing these types of issues to our customers before we do any work on your property!

- 1Roof Flashing and Siding are Problem
The flashing is where the roof meets the siding. At this location, we will need to remove the siding, make repairs, flash the roof correctly, and replace this portion of the home with new siding.
Go To Pin - 2Gutter is in Bad Shape
This gutter is falling off the back of the home. It will fall off when a tear-off occurs. There is a roof leak near the gutter, with rotten boards.
Go To Pin - 3Old Deck Boards need to be Renailed
When roofing deck boards become loose, they need to be renailed. This roof requires that.
Go To Pin - 4The Soffit has a Droop
Corbels support the roof deck. This appears to be strong, but it is drooping. It would be costly to fix this droop. It doesn’t seem like that will be done as a part of this project.
