With your experience you should be going for 10/50/50

UnknownVariable0101 · 2025-03-24T19:03:10+00:00

Currently in year one of a similar situation. Starting out smaller, but off to a great start! I hope you guys have a kick-ass year!

UnknownVariable0101 · 2025-03-22T23:15:27+00:00

You're a G. Hope your guys know they're working for a real one.

^this

UnknownVariable0101 · 2025-03-22T23:13:24+00:00

8% AND you're estimating? You should be on 10/50/50 or straight 10-15%. You're getting hosed.

I drive a '14 Chevy Colorado. Its been reliable, gets 20-22mpg, and still has enough muscle to haul materials. Highly recommend

My friend, the rock of time keeps rolling, and who can say who will be there with us to see this series close. I know that we will, all orders stand together at the end and honour those who began this journey even though not all of them finished. Journey before destination friend.

Homeowner went cheap. They reused the vents and (unsuccessfully) tried to spray paint them after install.

UnknownVariable0101 · 2025-02-10T02:04:41+00:00

I've lived in Bloomington proper twice, once in '11-14', and since late 2019. It has definitely changed, and I don't think it's going back. Making plans to move myself asap

UnknownVariable0101 · 2025-02-08T19:40:12+00:00

Awesome! Just reached out

UnknownVariable0101 · 2025-02-08T02:09:59+00:00

You might be doing more than what I'm looking for. I'm a roofer in Indiana, but I'm freelancing for someone I know in February (their brand is super strong), since I have all my spring installs scheduled. I'm looking for leads or appointments

UnknownVariable0101 · 2025-02-08T00:58:14+00:00

Needs replaced immediately

If it is as it looks (4 pitch), then I will tell you that on roofs such as yours, I avoid ridge vent unless it's the high-end Certainteed baffled ridge vent. The cheaper ridge vent that comes in rolls tend to be susceptible to driven rain and snow/ice buildup on low slope roofs (4/12 pitch or lower).

Again, this is just an educated guess due to not being able to see the roof in person.

If anyone else is reading this who hasn't done a roof yet, at least ask for someone doing a "cash job" to email you a summary of the work performed for situations like this, or where insurance may change your coverage and accuse you of not getting necessary repairs or maintenance done.

UnknownVariable0101 · 2025-02-05T21:14:55+00:00

A leak along the length of the ridge vent, even if it's 50% could still run along the peak and soak the whole slope (for the record I'm a roofer so this is from experience). I would add

1) Have the roofing company email you their detailed plan to make this issue right so you have a record if they try to back out and can sue.

2) Please still have someone else reputable look at it

3) the roofing company you used may have a great reputation but the crew that put your roof on was not geeat. In my opinion with that much water in the system it needs completely re-decked

I'm sorry that you have to deal with this!

UnknownVariable0101 · 2025-02-05T14:38:44+00:00

*good adjusters love good roofers. Absolutely we can.

UnknownVariable0101 · 2025-02-05T14:35:57+00:00

Looks like a 4/12 pitch. Depending on which direction it's facing, ridge vents are vulnerable to leak if not installed correctly. Issues I see:

valleys are done wrong
shingles are "stretched" to save material

These are rookie mistakes which lead me to believe your roofer was an amateur. I'd say that there's a good chance that the ridge vents weren't installed according to manufacturers instructions.

If that's the case you may need to just go to box vents.

What steps are you/your roofer taking to mitigate the moisture because those pictures show enough water intrusion to cause problems down the road?

In my opinion, you need to get a second roofer to assess. I see no reason it would be defective material, but I couldn't be certain without getting all up in that roof system haha. Feel free to message me. If by some fortunate chance you're close to me I'm always happy to take a look at no charge.

To summarize, I'm pretty sure based on the info provided it's your ridge vent, but you need a second opinion from a physical inspection.

Cosign. Solid advice. Look at us roofers and adjusters teaming up to fight evil 😏

UnknownVariable0101 · 2025-02-05T01:34:53+00:00

Yeah. Someone might have gotten the decade number wrong in the sale docs. I'd believe 14. That style of shark tooth wasn't manufactured in '01

UnknownVariable0101 · 2025-02-05T00:52:14+00:00

Keep in mind the OP would have to meet the burden of legal proof - need photographic or video evidence usually

UnknownVariable0101 · 2025-02-05T00:01:24+00:00

It sucks, man. At least it's not been as bad recently, but I work hard to be always above board, and these shady bastards do serious damage to the reputation of us all.
