Garage roof today. It seems to be a pressed type fiber. I don't know what it is even though I have seen it before.

It is sold at Home Depot, I do not know the exact name of it and it is not on their website but it is a legit roofing product.

Is it not the corrugated fiberglass material that Home Depot has? I think this is what we are looking at, and this guy just used tar over it.Look at the nails with the rubber seal it looks like there is tar on the nails Mario 'Imagination is more important than knowledge' (sometimes) Mario Kyriacou CHI CMI-NACHI Canadian Member of the Year 2007 www.360degreeshomeinspections.com Tel.# 416-722-6132 e-mail torontohomeinspector@yahoo.com |

Try Lowes'. I think they sell it as well. In fact I think Lowes has been selling it for many years. There is some bad press about it but if you search you will find many very satisfied customers who installed it themselves. Appears some of the bad press if from roofers. Imagine that! Ive actually thought of using it myself when I get ready to build my shop. It looks great and simple to install.

It may be asbestos transite material that was painted prior to installation. If you scratch the tar off and the roofing material is gray, it may be asbestos and only a lab can verify that it is. I removed millions of square feet of transite roofing and siding.

It is Ondura and it is (like my first post said) crap. I wouldnt even use it on a shed. People see it in Lowes, or Home Depot and say "Look honey, it is even rated for residential applications" LETS TRY IT!!!!!! People will do anything to save a buck. http://www.ondura.com/ Peter Doane Realty Check Inspection Service NACHI ID# 05120681

Here is what it looks like after 5 years,... PVC coating flakes off, and the nails pop up from expansion and contraction of the panels,..
