Many homeowners do not realize that regular roof maintenance is required in order to protect and extend the life of your roof.
Unwanted chimneys are homes for animals to live. Deteriorated mortar joints can create spaces where none are suppose to be.
The valleys on your roof are the internal angles formed by the intersection of two sloping roof planes. Sometimes valleys leak.
There is an attic vent installed where there should have been a 6 inch exhaust vent installed – the incorrect vent was installed and was leaking. Also there was a tear in a shingle behind the vent.
Removed leaking attic vent and installed a 6 inch exhaust vent for the bathroom. Removed the broken shingle and installed a new one. Installed vent with chem caulking due to type of vent.
Also re nailed a 3 inch pipe flashing and resealed this as well. It was lifting due to wind.

There are three holes due to animal damge. Squirrels are getting in on 3 corners of home. They were getting in on the 4th but homeowner had a previous repair last year.
They are getting in where there should be drip edge on the home and there is none installed. They are getting in right at the end of each hip.
