Too low slope ?

[Denray]

Does this look like too low of slope for comp? One layer of paper.

It could be. Hard to measure it on a photo.

You should have the pitch gauge app on your phone. You can use it to snap a pic of the slope and add it to the report.

Nice. Thanks Bill.

Here's a tid bit at the other end of the roof.

Photo looks like it's less than 3/12 pitch. Some shingle manufactures will allow a bare minimum of 2/12 pitch, however they typically recommend two layers of roof felt and/or full ice shield underlayment.

By the pic I'd say that's barely qualifying for comp shingles. It would however require double underlayment.

The foreground one maybe, the one in back looks like even less slope. Love that app.

Here's the pic with the house before the earthquake, just kidding.

PaintShopPro gives me this - the roof slope is 10 degrees off horizontal. From that you should be able to get a roof slope.

It's a low pitch, good call. Not unusual for low income housing, modulars or mobiles. The roof is prone to failure but so are the walls and foundation.
