Default Expert shingle installation

The Sellers stated that the roof is newer. I asked her "who installed it" and they showed me the bill from the roofers. I will not slam this company on-line, but I will show you their work.

How the hell do roofers get away with this? They had to be on drugs.....

WOW what were they thinking?
I think its safe to say we could all do better. Did the owner request they come back and redo it?
I hate to say but it looks like they were a little high or in a drunken stupor

They'd have to know what a chalk line was in order to think about purchasing one...then figure out how to use it...that would require spending some of the dope money and intelligent thought processes...bad idea

The bigger question would be what kind of dope was the homeowner on paying anyone for this work?

Ya know what...I never mentioned the shoddy install to the Sellers.

But.... you bet your **** the Buyers know what's going on with this drug addict shingle install. I just couldn't stop laughing on this inspection.

Maybe it was the seller on drugs that did the install!! Hard to see any contractor doing that bad work. In 35+ years around the trades, have never seen anything that bad!!

I agree, I doubt that job was done by any roofer.

Roofer or not they didn't even need a chalk line. All the tarpaper I've used already have lines on it. You would have to be blind.

Tarpaper? What tarpaper?
