Its clear my GC didnt do my raised unvented roof the right way.

I live in sf bay area close to the beach where its around 40-45 in winter and mid 50-65 other months, but always with high humidity. They added insulation on top of the roof deck where the TG ceiling is, with r30 batts (instead of rigid which I just recently learned this is correct way), then closed it with in this order:

12 inch raised to fit the r30 insulation
plywood
densdeck coverboard
TPO

I posted in the roofing sub and read a lot of convos from it being ok due to marine climate to its gonna rot in a couple of years.

im debating what recourse I can do. Either sealing all the seams inside with stretch caulk to further minimize air leaks, to adding a drywall ceiling with canned lights covering it to reduce more air leakage.

GC doesnt think this is an issue given the sf climate, but ive heard TG is not a good air barrier at all, and that warm 70F humid area can easilt go through that ceiling and insulation and then hit dew point under that 12 inch plywood and rot out.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks

the exterior picture is the stripped down roof deck before the addition of raised insulation, plywood, and tpo.

i dont see any signs of leak but want to see if this needs to be addressed since my bathroom ia down to the studs, thanks for the help

We just had roof redone. in the second pic you can see the home inside with exposed beam ceiling. Right above it the roof was raised 12 inches and insulation batts were added only this area of the house with no attic. it was then covered with plywood and TPO roof. The 12 inches raised is not vented just to add room for the insulation.

Any issues with this? thanks

cant see submitted or any nearby submissions

When we first came to SF.

At 1156am in Elk Grove on Crisswell Dr. This un-helmeted idiot zooming thru the neighborhood on an E-skateboard with an infant in a baby Bijorn harness. With a helmeted mom and two helmeted toddlers a litter bit behind attempting to keep up on their bike. Zoomed around the corner while we were driving by cut behind us and came along the other side of the car then turned down another street.
