- 1Loosing shingles
These shingles are beginning to slide down the roof, marked in pink. I looked into it a bit better, discovering the reason why.
The reason was that the shingles have been high nailed, meaning when the shingles were nailed down, the person nailing put the nail in way too high and missed the nail line. I checked this area along with many others and found high nailed shingles all over the roof. A shingle has a nail line, and that nail line of the shingles is thick with 2 layers. Above that line, the shingle is thinner with one layer. Most nails will shoot through or almost shoot through the shingle. Here are some pictures I took
there are many other pictures I took. Too many to list here.
