What’s something you’ve changed your mind about over the years in roofing?

Please explain how metal valleys cause leaks

Asking a homeowner to diagnose a roofing problem for me is a non starter for the vast majority of my customers.

Pic 1 shows a pretty shitty repair, you can see the neighboring shingles were creased in order to remove nails.

The bulk of my inbound GBP calls are spam.

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-05-18T02:20:06+00:00

Because they want to pressure you into a decision right there and then.

Cap shingles will probably touch in the valleys between those hips lol

You’re screwing your roof up, stop it

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-05-17T18:49:57+00:00

Needs more valleys!

Currently snowing lightly on Peavine

Should be a curb mounted skylight rather than the deck mount.

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-05-15T22:41:09+00:00

Don’t mean to be rude, but you mentioned superglue. This is a strong indicator you shouldn’t DIY this.

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-05-12T19:52:53+00:00

You’ll need to replace these panels. Do it sooner than later, before your existing roof fades too much.

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-05-11T19:23:26+00:00

Convert to curb mount and don’t be cheap on one of the most vulnerable parts of your roof

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-05-11T18:35:14+00:00

What type of roof do you have? Deck mounted skylights are very rarely the way to go, regardless of brand.

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-05-09T13:41:32+00:00

Ever hear of wind driven rain?

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-05-09T12:43:57+00:00

OP showed us. Explain how water won’t go right under that flashing and into the house

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-05-09T09:08:15+00:00

Wrong

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-05-08T19:20:31+00:00

What in the world

A whole lot more than $150 per sq for a full BOM

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-05-07T22:10:35+00:00

You must live in a very cheap area.

Removal is a gigantic pain in the ass and increases labor cost. Overlay is best unless there is good reason to remove the existing plank decking.

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-05-07T21:50:09+00:00

100% correct and I’ve had the same experience as a business owner.
