Hi, this is Steve from Roofer 911.
I'm on top of a roof in Herndon, Virginia and this homeowner's getting prices for a new roof. When I went up on the roof I noticed this roof overall is in still very good condition. It has about 8 to 10 more years life to it.
There's only a few things that needs to be taken care of like this pipe collar over here it's deteriorated, so instead of just sealing it we're going to remove and replace it. Then also there's another pipe collar here this one is all deteriorated as well, so we're going to replace this one as well.
Now the most important thing is there's no ventilation on this roof. They have an attic fan, which is very good for the summertime, but in the wintertime they don't have a ridge vent and that's very important to prevent condensation build up and mold.
What I recommended to the homeowner is to install ridge vent along all the ridges and replace the pipe columns and every thing will be fine. The plywood underneath this roof is excellent.
There's a little bit of algae on the roof, but that can very easily be cleaned. This older roof will look likes it's brand new. Like I said, this roof is only 10 years old and it most certainly does not need to be replaced.
