Damaged Shingles

There are hundreds of spots like this all over this roof. They range in size from dime size to quarter size. Does anybody have any idea what causes this?

Ciak,

The C.L.U.E. ®Personal Property report provides a seven year history of losses associated with an individual and his/her personal property. The following data will be identified for each loss: date of loss, loss type, and amount paid along with general information such as policy number, claim number and insurance company name.

The C.L.U.E. ®Auto report provides a seven year history of automobile insurance losses associated with an individual. The following data will be identified for each loss: date of loss, loss type, and amount paid along with general information such as policy number, claim number and insurance company name.

Note: If you have not filed a claim against your auto or property insurance policy in the last 7 years, you will likely receive a clear report.

I blew all 3 pictures up.... the first one is ripped out from the top, as if it were torn off the bundle and installed cracked, and the wind tore a little piece off. the second one looks like the gun mis-fired on top of the shingle and the head broke off like those cheap ND nails. The third still has the rounded over side of the roofing nail head showing. It's easy to leave shingles like that exposed in the roof, when your laying bundles and plank staging all over your work, and getting down at night.>>>

CIAK Said: Ed I would love to be able to ger that report for free, maybe if I could even get one about another property that I didnt own. This is how I have understood this program to work in a capsule ; How long is loss history kept in the CLUE database? The database contains up to 5 years of personal property claims history. Can I order a CLUE report on property I want to purchase?

No. CLUE reports are protected by the Fair Credit Reporting Act and can only be accessed by the owner or lender for the property. However, you can request that the current owner of the property order a CLUE report. Sorry to highjack your thread ? Well not really :laugh: :laugh: :blush:

Ciak,

I have obtained CLUE reports for previous customers on my own, and for free.

It has been 2-3 years, but I think I still have the link saved on my office computer.

I will make sure I find it before you get into town.

I would guess that it was something in the manufacturing process. Probably something that was stuck to a roller on the production line. I have a similar roof that has a 2 inch long 1/4 inch wide mark on certain shingles. Probably about a hundred also. There were probably granuals stuck in this areas but they detached due to lack of asphalt and now the ultra-violet damage is starting to appear.>>>

the bottom picture looks like a sideways nail got roofed over and removed... the other two also look like something under the shingle was removed, and it took the back side adhesives with it...ripping out fabric.>>>

If those are nails....there is more wrong with this roof then what we see. Those nails would have to be 3-4 inches high...and not even close to where they should be nailed. I dont think it is nail pops that were hammered..but I dont know what it is.>>>

i agree with builder,"High nails, that someone went back with a hammer" :angry:>>>

Don't know what caused the defect, but that roof is wore out. The missing tabs would make an excellent basis for an insurance claim. If the owner had a guarantee still in effect, he could also make a claim to the manufacturer.>>>

House Of Pain Said: Because there are a hundred or more spots like this on the roof, I suggested the property owner call their wind storm insurance company. They may not give them anything

but it cost nothing to file a claim any anything will be better then nothing.

Sort of incorrect.

Anytime a claim is filed, a report of that claim and it's outcome becomes part of the Narional Database CLUE Report.

Frequency of claims made, even if not liable for insurance funds can and do affect the rates being assigned the next time the underwriters calculate the risk of that property and of the reporting party.

Yes, not only does the property owner who is filing that claim carry the effects of the CLUE Report with them, but so does the claimed property address.

You can find out a lot about a customer if you know where to obtain their CLUE Report for free.

The roundness of the problem areas would make me look below for nail heads. The tree(s) are not a bad thought but the production line theory makes the most sense.>>>

Whenever something occurs in the Keys, I always think of the wackiest explanation possible.

My guess is a drunk roofer wearing a thong and golf shoes. :laugh: :woohoo: :silly: :unsure: :ohmy:>>>

old blistering......like a tar road in the summer.>>>

Hail damage would show more granular loss its looks like other then that area they have all the granules, if we nailed our shingles in those areas around here they would blow off.Its a manufacturing defect, i would bet on that.>>>
