Well;
There might not be any licensing in Maine, but I can tell from the picture that Jeff supplied, that from the chimney view, it is two to three feet to short and the pitch is 8/12, the roofing is of double layered, has reached the end of it's functional life, and the Dormer roof is of 4/12 pitch and the flashing s#cks. What else could they have screwed up??

Roy, back when I was a kid, I would tape up a whole bunch of bottle caps under my feet to get traction on ice and working on a roof. Hey. LOL. It worked, I should have patented it. I would be rich like Jae W. will be right.?? ha. ha.

Hey. the bottle caps worked but the duct tape would have been acceptable back then for this accomplishment.

Marcel... I think it closer to 2/12... but I could be wrong... either way very flat and a lot of roofing... yikes... this is right up on Union street in Waterville.

Barry... the dormer was what I was referring to...
