Here is why Roofers shouldn't do retrofits

This is the reason why roofing company’s need to stay away from doing retrofits.

I feel for the homeowner that is now stuck trying to get her $$$ back and having it done correctly.

I see this crap all the time. Clearly they scammed the owner, because it doesn’t look like there was anything wrong with the original strap. Roofing contractors are not allowed to retrofit the RTW connection. It is outside the scope of their license.

Exactly what I told her. She could have got someone in there just to add the 2nd nail to the front of the straps.

Why - the original should qualify as a Clip as is…

Adding a nail to the original strap would upgrade to single wrap. Not really worth the trouble though. There is a little slop in the original strap that could have easily been fixed with another nail in that gap.

Is there a way to fix these?

Not with just an extra nail. Those would take some work.:cool:

From an email I got from my client:

No surprise there :frowning:

All is right with the world…
