Architectural shingles, approximately 18-20 years old. Multiple areas of concern observed.
Significant granule loss and curling observed on the south-facing slope. Several shingles are lifting at the tabs. Roof covering is approaching end of expected service life and should be budgeted for replacement within 2-3 years.
Cross-section showing ridge, hip, valley, rake, eave, soffit, fascia, drip edge, underlayment, decking, and shingle layers.
Step flashing at chimney and sidewall intersections.
Missing kick-out flashing at the lower right corner of the chimney-to-sidewall intersection. This can direct water behind the siding. Recommend installing kick-out flashing to prevent moisture intrusion.
