This is not a roof I inspected. It happens to be one my neighbors’ roof! He “knows everything ” and had an already underventilated cathedral roof whose shingles only were replaced 3 yrs. ago when he moved in. The plywood was deteriorating (black etc.) and the soffits were mostly blocked!
So he gets ice dams, water infiltration etc. and decided to “caulk the shingles…”
Dumb and dumber…

Sometimes you can’t make this stuff up but just got to shake your head.

mlarson:
Huh?
Are you blind?
No, I’m on a phone, no real need to be insulting and drag down the forum. I see a bunch of maple seeds on black shingles.
Perhaps on a desktop it looks different.

Maybe you would care to show us where the caulking actually is? I must be blind too…

Well if they are, Gill is pulling a fast one on all of us.
I took him at his word.
If he is playing games I will stop trusting him.
