What do we find on Roseville inspections?
Granule loss, exposed mat, brittle shingles, missing drip edge, undersized step flashing at the chimney. These roofs are at or past end of life now.
What should you do about it?
Plan a re-roof with architectural shingles, ice-and-water shield to 6 ft past the inside of the wall plate, and modern step flashing.
How this connects to other Roseville defects
