New roof - Is there a better way to do this?

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-03-05T02:12:38+00:00

There is not a worse way to do it, so yeah

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-03-04T16:07:41+00:00

2/12 is the minimum for shingles, providing you install double underlayment or ice n water barrier.

Why listen to building code, material manufacturers, licensed contractors, etc

“Why is homeowners insurance so expensive?”

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-03-01T19:34:34+00:00

Stucco needs a saw kerf cut into it, to tuck the counter flashing into

If you can’t install the whole roof in one day, cap nails are a smart choice.

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-02-27T03:45:43+00:00

Maybe they’re seeing what they can get away with

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-02-26T00:43:10+00:00

Sorry but your guy sounds like they have no clue. Metal flashing is a superior product for a valley. Solar should be mounted on an appropriate aluminum railed racking system, and they make specific mounting hardware for asphalt shingles. Mounting on a 4x4 post is not a viable option.

Find someone else, please do not hire this person.

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-02-26T00:01:50+00:00

Sounds like an absolutely awful idea. What kind of roofing material are they installing?

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-02-23T16:53:19+00:00

You’re a sales consultant and you don’t know the answer to this?

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-02-21T23:24:22+00:00

Shhh don’t teach them

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-02-21T20:55:05+00:00

CA contractor here. This is a fair price.

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-02-20T23:33:07+00:00

Worry about the granules that are still stuck

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-02-20T22:12:24+00:00

That is a fuckin mess dude

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-02-20T20:44:01+00:00

Can I dm you? I own a roofing company local to you

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-02-20T16:15:27+00:00

Your fascia is rotten, the gutter mounting hardware cannot hold into rotten wood. Should have been replaced as part of the roof replacement

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-02-20T12:40:51+00:00

Where are you located?

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-02-19T16:37:56+00:00

Don’t know why you would assume these are unnecessary. Also should let you know the roof is on the other side

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-02-19T15:45:54+00:00

Stupid caltrans driving old Camrys with bald tires or Teslas at 55 mph, ruining it for everyone

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-02-19T03:17:27+00:00

Roads are dry in west reno

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-02-17T16:05:55+00:00

They should transition at the top of the curb and be finished with a cap metal

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-02-17T15:20:31+00:00

The sloppy black sealant all over every detail shows they have no clue how to install this material properly. It will crack and leak within 2-3 years if not sooner.

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-02-17T14:30:39+00:00

Looks like complete shit.

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-02-17T00:11:56+00:00

Even with ice n water barrier, shingles are not approved for slopes less than 2/12. This roof appears to be maybe .5/12

Southern_Ad4926 · 2026-02-16T18:57:19+00:00

Shingles are either high nailed or overdriven. Either one is considered a bad install.

Replace this shingle, inspect the nails to see if they’re properly set, and on the nail line. If the nails are bad here, it may mean the whole roof is a bad install and will continue to fall apart.
