The Ugliest Roofs of 2013

Here is one of my favorites from a roof in Dallas, Texas.

Just because TEXAS does not require a roofing license doesn't mean you can be a roofer.....

Nice page Mike... I was thinking of doing the same. I mostly consult now and adjust but have a large consumer roofing website. I was thinking of having a page where other roofers could send me photos like these with links back to their website.. Not sure if that would go over or not.

It was a mess! Instead of tearing out the TPO and SPF we applied "roofslope" encapsulating the entire area. Added positive pitch and solved the issue of the term bar and TPO. The entire roof was coated with elastomeric coating.

You will love this one- SPF over a asphalt and gravel roof with a TPO around the roof hatch with a termination bar. Of course it leaked and the original roofer could not be found.

Nice cricket- Is that EPDM membrane? If it is how did you terminate it?

Sometimes you just have to wonder.... Why people don't ask more questions BEFORE hiring a so-called roofer. This was a TPO repair which leaked since the day the roof was installed the frustrated property owner gave up after multiple attempts by the roofer to stop the leaking.

This one was a classic shingle roof screw-up. The contractor had overlaid the original deteriorating shingle with 3/4" staples... Guess What? It was not covered by insurance and the property owner had to replace the roof prior to renewing their insurance policy.

I post a lot of my photos on my Facebook page. This was a six month old TPO roof. There was ponding water on every roof and the contractor was in big trouble with the insurance company and management company.

This one was left me almost speechless... They poured Karnack or Apoc and threw in some shingles for good measure. The sad part is they actually charged the property owner for this!
