If you may by looking at the attached photos what would be your recommendations.
I personally feel the entire roof, flashing and venting systems need to be reviewed for repair and or replacement. |

In the last picture the "California Cut" is heading into Nevada.
It was sealed but that's the first thing that'll leak. Picture #3--well, the picture is worth a thousand words. And those words should relay "improper all the way". #2. ??? Is that a boulder??? up there??? on the roof??? If that's the chimney...wellllll...hmmmm. And after looking at 1 and 4 I'd suggest inviting several roofers over to view this mess and sell tickets to the comedy show.

BTW David, did you get the idea I don't think really good thoughts about that install???
Looks like something I might have done when I was seven years old. By the time I was eight I knew better that that. "not just an inspection, but an education" www.homesweethomecincinnati.com Democracy is two wolves and a lamb. Liberty is a well-armed lamb. B. Franklin |

Do you need any input from a professional roofer? If so, how's this.

oh come on now don't any of you respect the rights of a man to go by instinct with no regard to direction or standards...this is obviously the work of such a man ...he works to the beat of his own drummer...with regard to no ones standards but his own
and he obviously doesn't mind living in a very leaky house.... |

Isn't that the truth. There should be at least 2"-3" of roofing mastic put at all those seams and transitions....... and then covered with duct tape.

Probably a 2nd layer.
I didn't see any tar. Why would a guy put on a roof like that and not put any tar on it?
