This is the tallest building in Salem. Longtime residents know it as the 'Insley Building'. Built in 1927. Some cell tower equipment is being updated so the contractor wants a before-and-after roof inspection so they can't get blamed for any roof 'issues'. This is our second visit here with one more visit after the work is done.
Roof Inspection/Certification - SE Portland, OR (Feb 27, 2023)
This house being sold. Owner relieved the roof should easily last at least 15 years if not longer. The only issue is that the 5 plastic vents have cracks in the hoods and these must be replaced. This is why we always recommend metal vents instead of plastic. Plastic cracks metal doesn't.
Friday 3-Fer (Feb 17, 2023)
North Portland, then NE Portland, then Hillsboro. The north Portland job is a fully restored commercial building with a new PVC roof. This job is for a San Francisco based inspection company. The NE Portland job is a large duplex that still has a good ten years remaining on the roof. The Hillsboro job is a three-tenant commercial building being bought by an investment group. This roof is shot and needs replacement.
Inspection Two-Fer - SW Washington, WA (Feb 09, 2023)
First job in Longview, second job in Camas. The Longview job is for a company, based in Pennsylvania, who helps relocated professionals sell their home and find a new home at their new location. This roof still has some years left. The second job is a 72 square new Certainteed 'Presidential shake' 50 year roof. Three leaks here all because of bad valley detail. Nails for ridge shingles are too short. Many ridge pieces flat; they should have an apex. Roof doesn't need a redo but it needs a lot of rework. Sure seems like it would be better to consider doing it right the first time!
Roof Inspection - Lake Oswego, OR (Feb 08, 2023)
These folks are being relocated by their employer. Roof is an older Presidential Shake shingle that still has a good twenty years left.
Not needing a roof yet (Jan 31, 2023)
These two owners were certain they needed a new roof but I convinced them otherwise. The two south-facing facets are worn but should still last three to five years. The rest of the roof should last eight to ten years.
Never Seen This Before - SW Portland, OR (Jan 17, 2023)
This cedar shingle roof is sixty-three years old and still in good shape! The row exposure is only 3". A very unique roof.
