I’ve noticed a concerning trend in new roof installations recently, particularly with improper flashing and inadequate ventilation. It’s critical that we stay vigilant and ensure our teams are adhering to quality standards, as these defects can lead to significant long-term issues. Has anyone else observed similar patterns, or are there any new tools you’re using for defect identification?
I totally get that! I once missed a site where the flashing was as useful as a chocolate teapot. My team now double-checks flashing and ventilation before the final walkthrough.
It’s surprising how often flashing gets overlooked — i’ve started using a thermal camera for better checks on ventilation and potential leaks. @chris_y56, have you tried that yet?
I’ve noticed that regular inspections during the installation process can really make a difference. I started marking up a checklist, especially for flashing and ventilation points. It helps keep everyone on the same page.
