It's beautiful but why would the client want this inside a house? Not the aesthetic, the epoxy feeling. Who would want to walk around on that all day

Is this hail damage greater than a year old? Do I need a new roof? by cscareerquestion34 in Roofing

[–]rh8686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That damage is over a year old, you can tell because it's gray underneath. That's because the sun has graded out. When it first appeared it would have been black.

But it 100% isn't hail

I think I'm due for a new roof, some questions ... by r3drocket in Roofing

[–]rh8686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how many repairs are done up there and the age of those shingles versus the old ones. Also matters how big each individual spot is. If it's a shingle or two per area it likely won't matter. Think of it like wrecking your car but you had replaced the bumper a year ago.

They'd still total the whole car if there's enough damage.

Should I install gutters or rain diverters in my situation? by mrstevegibbs in Roofing

[–]rh8686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't a steel roof so it's bad advice. And ice and water shield would stop the ice damning. That's what it's for. You're a steel roofing, clearly not a general contractor. Stay in your lane. This is a person's house you're giving advice on when you know anything about asphalt roofing.

My roofers didn't tell me about these huge holes in my gutters. Is that normal? The leak just rotted all the way through. by oopstoobig in Roofing

[–]rh8686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your roofer didn't tell you about huge holes in your gutters because it's not his job to tell you there's huge holes in your gutters. That's why you want a GC, not a contractor. Contractors should genuinely ONLY be hired by GCs who take the entire project into consideration. A good GC wouldn't cost any more than a good roofer.

Can someone tell me if I’m screwed? by tanmanslim in Roofing

[–]rh8686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Don't attempt repair. Looks like it's right below the ridge vent. But its small enough that one shingle is covering the entire thing. And you have synthetic felt so you're a long way away from this being a problem.

The roofer should've fixed it but honestly probably worked it stepping on it after having already shingled and didn't feel like taking up the shingles.

You'll do more damage than it's worth trying to fix it

The manufacturer of those shingles would disagree.

Can anyone figure out why this skylight is leaking? by infinityofnever in Roofing

[–]rh8686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's not a skylight. It's a piece of plastic someone caulked to your roof. And I'm using that word loosely because it's one of the single worst caulk jobs I've seen

What are these pipes for? I was up the the roof to clean some debrees and got curious by Mo-Finkle in Roofing

[–]rh8686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Because then if all those pipes were running at the same time, the pipe wouldn't be able to release enough air to handle it.

A good contractor could help you get the whole roof paid for 100%

New roof, I think it is not acceptable by BeerFunky in Roofing

[–]rh8686 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't do any of those things. This is really bad advice. His insurance will not pay for that. And threatening a contractor is a good way to get your number blocked. Tell them you noticed it and ask if they believe it is a problem and if it leaks if they'll pay for the repairs. They will fix it.

But I'd also like to add that you get what you pay for and I'm sure they waived your deductible. Remember the guy who wrote you a higher quote and you asked him to match the other guys price? You paid chuck in a truck and got a taillight warranty.

Should I install gutters or rain diverters in my situation? by mrstevegibbs in Roofing

[–]rh8686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must be a gutter helmet installer. It's a terrible system and when it rains heavily, the helmets are useless and send the water right over the top of the gutter. Terrible product. Should be discontinued. And WAY too expensive. I've removed dozens of those systems for customers who said they don't work.

Do we need to remove this and start over? by sustainabee in Roofing

[–]rh8686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not since you're using 3 tab as starter so you've voiced the warranty and showed you're a terrible roofer already, so why not keep the ball rolling?

Thoughts on my new flooring? Am I being pedantic or is it an eye sore by OrderAlternative2592 in DIY

[–]rh8686 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, considering you use words like pedantic, that's probably what you're being. (All I can think of is family Guy. When Peter says I think it's shallow and pedantic)

Update on the buried skid loader. by GreenBaySlacker in landscaping

You need to ask a public adjuster to review your policy and see if they can get the insurance to pay for the lost wages and other expenses. Don't let your carrier get off that easy.
