Reading the photos

What to look at in a finished roof.

A finished roof is judged at its details. When you look through these photos, or at a roof on your own street, these are the places that decide whether it keeps water out.

• ✓
  Hips, ridges and edges

  Wind gets under a roof at the rakes, eaves and ridges first. On tile, look for straight, fully bedded ridge and hip lines; on shingle and metal, look for edge metal and trim that sit tight to the roof.

• ✓
  Valleys and wall flashings

  Where two slopes meet, and where a roof meets a wall or chimney, water concentrates. Clean, continuous metal in the valleys and at the walls is what keeps it out.

• ✓
  Pipe and vent collars

  Every penetration through the roof needs its own flashing. These are small parts of the photo and a common source of leaks on older roofs.

• ✓
  What the photos cannot show

  The underlayment and the wood deck are under the covering. On a re-roof we photograph the deck after tear-off, and any repair is approved by the owner in writing before it is done. On clay barrel tile we can lift the tile, replace the underlayment and reset the same tile.

• ✓
  Where these roofs are

  Concrete tile across the suburbs, clay barrel tile on Mediterranean-style homes, metal near the water, and flat roofs on porches, additions and commercial buildings, from Jupiter to Boca Raton.

Every project starts with a free inspection, photos of what we find, and a written scope with the price before any work starts. Molsbee Roofing was started by Don Molsbee in 1975; Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429, GAF Certified Contractor and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor.
