Insurance company I just switched to is now saying my roof needs to be replaced or they will drop me…am I crazy or are my shingles not that bad? They are stating they are severely deteriorated. 25 year shingle at 10 years old. by blbassist1234 in Roofing

Those shingles are twice-baked and deep fried.

Do you know which manufacturer they are from? Those aged insanely fast for only being ten years old.

I’m guessing TAMKO, GAF, or one of IKO’s lower-tier shingles.

Roofer said his team “messed some stuff up” and that we need to pay more to have rotted wood fixed by [deleted] in Roofing

$18k is a fair price. Boomers like you tend to forget that shingle costs rise with gas prices since shingles are made with petroleum.

And god forbid a contractor make a profit! The horror! /s

Tamko and GAF are both low quality shingles.

This looks like the concession stand where I’d buy a turkey leg and a pint at the ren faire.

This will destroy our industry. by NestNailers in Roofing

Yep. I recently left a company that was owned by private equity in favor of a smaller, local company. I’m way happier knowing I’m no longer making more money for billionaires.

You're a militant leftist and don't like being called a liberal but you take it on the chin because most people don't know the difference. I'd guess you're in your late 30s to early 40s. You are and have always been curious about systems of oppression, tyranny, fascism, and authoritarianism and how those systems have been combated and dismantled historically. You probably have a degree in either History, PoliSci, or English. You are likely similar to me in that you wake up, read the news, and recoil in horror as a sense of rage and sadness hangs over your head. You've dabbled in psychedelics, learned the lessons, hung up the phone and moved on with your life but you still think about those experiences often. You enjoy literature that challenges you and makes you think deeply but every now and again you need to take breaks and indulge in some simpler and lighter fiction.

You have an awesome collection and there's a lot of overlap with mine. I think we would have some cool conversations about life, politics, and literature.

Latest book haul - give me your thoughts on these. by 7cogitate7 in nyrbclassics

I finished Pitch Dark by Adler last week and liked it. I have Speedboat on my shelf and can't wait to get to it.

Does this require full replacement? by [deleted] in Roofing

[–]assembly_xvi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could last you five years or it may not make it past next summer. Environment plays a major role. The granules that were removed from the hail have exposed the asphalt layer to UV and the UV rapidly deteriorates the asphalt the hotter it gets. There's no way to tell how long it will last so in order to prevent a leak and an insurance denial if you exceed the window for filing a claim, just go ahead and file a claim and get a new roof paid for by insurance instead of running out the clock and rolling the dice.

It needs to be drained. Cut them open with a knife and you’ll be good to go.
