Default New roof

Brand new roof on a mobile home I inspected yesterday.

You can see Great Bay from the end of the road, App. 2 miles up from the Atlantic ocean, what were they thinking?

What an amateur installation. Did you see water stains in the attic? {Was there an attic, and if so could you even get into the attic?} Was the wood underneath this area soft and or rotten?

Did you see any mold growth?
