Denray Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Just came off this roof when the owner started talking about it being only 3 years old. I asked if he did the work. No, some roofer did? My report indicated poor quality material and every exposed nail head was a potential leak, all 3000 of them. I got tired of counting at 2448.

Jim Katen Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Haven't seen it in years, but that used to be an accepted method of installing roll roofing. It was for roofs with a slope of 2:12 or greater and you were supposed to put the nails in every 3 inches. Instructions were printed right on the package. I tell people it's good for woodsheds and dog houses where you don't care whether or not the wood or the dog gets wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Right, typical life for roll roofing is maybe 5 years, time for the tar to wash off the nail heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Amaral Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Reminds me of the time I inspected an 1890's farmhouse colonial.. wood clapboards and shinges... etc. Owner had 'built' a brick-veneer "OUTSIDE" the entire sides of the house.. with a space of about 6" between veneer and original house... I had to pull the buyer aside and say "..this house is on a main drag sir... are you sure you want to be laughed-at by every contractor in town for the next many years.. "?

Denray Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Speaking of dogs, I looked at the worst mfg hm yesterday and the worst house today. The floors came uphill to the exterior walls. No crawl access or vents.[:-crazy] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
