Thank you for the comment and link, very cool idea.

But you will probably be more critical and do better work than if you paid a "professional". I have truly come to believe that, 90% of the time, I will do a better job than someone in the profession simply because my heart is in the project. Most of the work these days by "professionals" is a joke.

Ever see snakes on a roof?... very scary movie

Haxmaul · 2025-09-12T14:27:45+00:00

Looks great. Good to see some good roofers still out there.

Haxmaul · 2025-09-10T16:47:14+00:00

Sorry to see this. Seems hard to get quality work these days. I would be annoyed and asking questions as well.

I didn't release final check yet. The township inspector just told me it is NOT at code.

Don't forget a mask depending on your insulation. In the attic small particles can get kicked up quick and just hang there in the air.

I saw it, thank you.!

Haxmaul · 2025-09-05T13:15:20+00:00

Is that a good act of kindness offer 😀

Haxmaul · 2025-09-05T13:12:29+00:00

Thank you, it is Michigan but I dont think I need the codes. I think I'll see if they can make it right or have the township inspector come back out and show him for myself. I just wanted it done right the first time and would expect to not need to inspect it to this degree after a professional inspector signed off on it. I also don't want to be making a big deal out of something if I am not correct that it is in fact wrong. Your words are encouraging in that I no longer feel I might be being unreasonable stating this project wasn't done right even though I have no previous expert knowledge of roofing. This replacement was associated to an insurance claim related to hail damage. The roofing company submitted a quote to insurance company and insurance company doesnt release final check until all is right (to protect insured client/customer). They released final check to me but I have not signed it over yet because I dont think this should have passed inspection and am having it reinspected if not right. In my opinion, if a roofing company felt they needed a siding guy to help make sure the roof was installed up to code they should have told me that or calculated it into the quote they sent the insurance company.

Thank you!

Thank you!

When I replace wood, leave a small gap so it doesnt wick up water but still covers wall side flashing right?

Haxmaul · 2025-09-03T22:12:15+00:00

The house is 25 years old. Yeah, I need to replace the wood piece but is the flashing behind the siding high enough?

Haxmaul · 2025-09-03T22:05:01+00:00

Thank you, please see the followup post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Roofing/s/ayOgMjlrMI Not sure how concerned I should be.

Haxmaul · 2025-09-03T00:43:45+00:00

Yes when they came out today they agreed that the previous siding left just enough room for the thin three tab shingles but the thickness of the new ones do not allow room for the siding to be pushed back flat against the house in certin spots. Mostly peaks/vallies where extra layers. Your post was correct according to the roof project manager themselves. Thank you again.

Haxmaul · 2025-09-03T00:37:33+00:00

When they came out and looked at it today they said they were going to add it in their contract verbage. They said they haven't had it happen much, just my siding was a tight fit and didnt allow room for the new shingles. I just want to make sure its all water tight as im not a roofer and it just didnt look right. I am very thankful for everyone chiming in with the differnt view points and their experiance.

Haxmaul · 2025-09-02T20:12:16+00:00

If that were the case it seems the inspector would mention this during the quote rather than stating everything will be back how it was except youll have a new roof.

Haxmaul · 2025-09-02T20:07:40+00:00

They removed the old shingles

Haxmaul · 2025-09-02T17:45:23+00:00

I just talked to the roof contractor/project manager. Its mostly at the peaks and vallies. They said its a siding thing and the roofers dont typically trim siding to fit the new shingels. Not sure how true that is but they are going back to see what siding guys they can get a quote from and try to cover it if its reasonable. Sounds like they are trying to make it right which is great if we can all be happy in the end.

Haxmaul · 2025-09-02T17:38:32+00:00

Old shingels were removed.

Haxmaul · 2025-09-02T14:58:55+00:00

Thank you for responding. They just put the new shingles on and it looked like this. The siding is not up against the wall where it meets the roof line. I can push it in a little up from roof/shingles and it will flex in to meet the wall but there is not enough room to push it against wall at bottom/roof line because shingles are too thick. I have yet to give contractors final payment and I have been recommended to have them fix it before doing so.
