Had roof replaced two weeks ago, roofers did a great job overall, they replaced the boots on all penetrations, and painted them in the same color as the flashing.

But I discovered this today, While replacing the boot for the water heater flue, this happened. Feeling lucky that the hot exhaust gases from the water heater didn’t set something on fire or fill my house with carbon monoxide and suffocate me and my whole family

Project located in Greenwich CT. Removed old cedar shingles, installed new decking over old spaced
decking, installed new Brava synthetic Slate in Arendale
color. All new copper flashings. Installed copper standing seam roof on back elevation. Installed 280 Berger 100 copper snow birds. Project turned out well.

I just do gutter cleaning and the homeowner mentioned he had a roof leak. I found this on his roof, how would you go about fixing this? I used to do roof installs so do I have snips and some tools, but never did any repairs. Any advice welcome cheers.

Wondering if our roof is too far gone to be restored, or if I needs to be replaced with colourbond?

There is a leak into the eaves so something needs to be done, I was hoping for roof restoration/repointing/painting, but worried it's in too bad of a condition.

Any feedback would be great 😃

My neighbours have been having their roof done this week, and this morning, at 5am, I’m woken up by what sounds like someone doing some work… just a racc trying to break in.

I wonder if it has a nest / little ones trapped in there now that it’s trying to get to? Or maybe it just doesn’t like the new roof they picked 😂

The eavestrough looks like it’s hanging on for dear life.

So i have had since i moved in in october a total of 8 bats I've had to remove from my house (like, IN my house) and after spray foaming a bunch of holes in my bottom subfloor from downstairs (unfinished basement) to once again find 3 more bats I finally got up on the roof and took a look around and heres what I saw. I read that there is like a foam block thing youre supposed to put in under the corrogated steel, but i can see wood through the gaps. The ends of the peak are both just a giant ass hole, and the peak itself is that rented cap with the wire/fibre shoved in it. Im not a roofer and I can tell its bad, but I wanted to come on here and ask like, how many levels of bad are we thinking here? For solutions, i figure some spray foam for the ends of the corrugated, but the panning itself sits up high on the ends as well, so wondering if i could screw those down. Not sure what to do with the peaks yet, maybe just a bunch of roof sealant. My chimney stacks are just wide open too, no wire or anything which is great. Anyway, I'm just pissed that this probably could have been fixed a while ago and I just assumed the new roof was done professionally (installed before I was here so who knows) I had just taken off my outdoor cameras and put them in the attic but i feel its pointless because they literally have over a hundred different spots to get in, just pick one 🤦‍♂️

Wood shakes are lifting and falling. Time for a change ?

My new roof was just finished today. I'm looking at the photos and freaking out. It looks botched to me. Am I just being paranoid or do I need to call them back?

Full reroof with drip edges installed and a new chimney cricket and flashing.

Re-roof completed about two years ago. What are these bumps in the roof?

I’m having a metal roof installed and the tear off of the old roof was done in a few hours, rain was called for, so the underlayment was quickly installed. Three days later they are still working on wrapping the fascia and barge board and it looks like the underlayment is coming unstuck. Is this normal? Is this an issue I should raise? Compared to other jobs I’ve seen it looks very messy and amateurish.

We had a little Microburst or something here in Ma yesterday, looks like we got .91 inches of rain in about an hour. Super heavy.

Anyways I came outside and noticed the rain water was just water falling over my entire gutter run here in the front of my house. Which isn’t great as we are currently finishing the basement and I did notice a very small amount of water seeping through the basement wall where ‘waterfalls’ were happening.

These are leaf Gaurd gutters… I thought they were the best but now I’m thinking for heavy rain these things are terrible.

What should I do here ? I would love to keep these things but just physically looking at how theyre made (looks like such a small opening for rain to fall into) it makes me think I need to replace these (and they were super expensive lol).

brand new roof with brand new ac unit installed what is happening to the roof? is this a manufacturer problem or ac unit issue?

Roofers are going to remove this since it was requested in the original scope of work, but no one has any idea what it is or was.

It seems like a very thick walled galvanized pipe that is capped/plugged at the top, but I'm not sure. Haven't tested if it is magnetic. I followed it as far down into the wall as I could with a cheap USB endoscope camera, but wasn't able to get to the end. It can be lifted up and feels like it might go all the way down the wall, but gets caught after lifting 6" or so.

I can't imagine it's connected to any active plumbing (why would it be coming through the roof), and seems like the wrong place and material for an old lightning rod.

Any ideas?

Definitely going to take the chance and have the roofing crew cut it off below the roof deck...what's the worst that could happen...
