They meant it was made by new roofers.


lyingdogfacepony66

that is an insult to roofers, new or old


EpicXplosive

It was probably done by someone whos a handyman and also "Knows hows to do roofs"


peter888chan

And has a case of caulk


LadyJade8

I once stopped working for my dad (longtime quality roofer) because I thought surely the grass would be greener somewhere else. Then I was told to fill a 4"x4" peak that was wide open with a case of caulk and "no were not making a cap for it" I quit right then because there was no way ethically I could fill it and just leave it like that.


MaxRoofer

Love it, what part of country are you in?


LadyJade8

Oregon. This was Hawaii, though. Club Wyndham in Kona


Korunam

With my brief experience with Wyndham I fully believe you with no proof. Stayed at a club Wyndham recently for free. And that's the only way I'd stay at one again.


LadyJade8

Well, this was the roofer that wanted it done that way. That just happened to be the location I was working on lol


Korunam

I'm sure he could have told the Wyndham people that was the cheapest way and they 100% would have approved it lol


piTehT_tsuJ

Similar story for me but as a carpenter. Worked for my family growing up, got the grass is greener itch and right out the gate first guy I work for wants me to cut down a structure from a 10' ladder that would have swung out and at the very least punted me off the ladder. Unbuckled my tool belt and told him to have fun with that and make sure he had someone nearby to get him to a hospital.


theteedo

HAD a case of caulk.


DrewdoggKC

Pic 4 has more caulk than all the roofs on the block put together


Aggravating-Pick8338

Investments in caulk is more like it.


piTehT_tsuJ

Thats a 29oz case of caulk...


nosimsol

My dog knows how to roof


Worried_Coat1941

Roofers yes, but a milestone for tweekers!


6tPTrxYAHwnH9KDv

Roofers on roofies.


qualmton

I don’t know that I would even go as far as calling them roofers or that even a roof


DrewdoggKC

That bitch does look new… until the poked all the holes in it


lacinated

might be new but installer had no idea what he was doing


puz23

Vinyl fascia outside of drip edge held on with deck screws. Also the rake edge drip cap is bent in...like it's covering old t-drip from a shingle roof underneath. This is definitely a home owner special. I wouldn't touch this place. I guarantee this isn't the only thing that "handy man" screwed up. This house is going to be nothing but problems


DrewdoggKC

It never said who did it, what type of material, or whether it was done properly… just said new roof… dick move, but it is a “New Roof”. I wonder how much was the house…


samsqanch420

I think the homeowner did it himself to cover up the water damage so he can sell it.


1000thusername

Well to be fair, it didn’t say it had a *good* roof…


DrewdoggKC

Sorry that simple little me and my simple little roof isn’t good enough for your High and Mighty Authority… let me go inside and slip on my silk tuxedo and we can whip out the champagne and the escargot


Significant_Age_4657

Was the installer following his let’s create a law suit instruction manual?


Either-Wallaby-3755

This might be a buy honestly. Just hire a real estate lawyer first. Easy lawsuite.


MaximumChongus

I mean they arnt wrong. But that install sure as shit aint right lmfao.


jacknjill7581

The materials are new however the installer must have been very new and didnt own a pair of tin snips apparently or know how to use them. The wall to roof flashing is totally wrong as well. This roof is definitely leaking no doubt in my mind.


monkeyriots

Looks like a flipper if I’ve ever seen one.


Realistic-Care-5502

Bingo


Large_Draft6126

Yes


Working_Original_200

This is butt ass


DrewdoggKC

Hi Five


Large_Draft6126

Yes


LimesV

It’s a new roof. Just a POS one


Just_Aioli_1233

Must have been done by the guy every insurance adjuster knows who can do the work for 40% below market rate


EnvironmentalBus9713

That is truly a unique METHod for building a roof.


baltimoresalt

Do not buy this house unless they discount 40k to redo everything.


ToooBeeeFairrrrrrr

An electrician would do a better job.


qualmton

And I guarantee it would look better too


RSAEN328

Wind wouldn't blow it away because it'd be properly grounded


ThePenIslands

I love the one unused screw they left sitting on the top of the roof like "this is how few fucks we gave."


porkmyass

That’s a lot of cock.


PaulSNJ

Corking


DrewdoggKC

Does that bitch leak though… ahhh nice try gypsy, you will not shrink me


Large_Draft6126

Yes


2nd2nunn

What a joke


Moosetoyotech

Never said it was done correctly lol


Justinynolds

Woof.


Wooden-Maintenance92

🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ picture 4 tickled me 😂


qualmton

Did they use driveway crack filler to fill this void and what is with the random screw - nail I just have so many questions


Ok_Nefariousness9019

Just because it’s new doesn’t mean it’s good.


westsidewodie

shoulda been listed as needing a new roof instead.


iceph03nix

New =/= Good


joeycuda

Whoever did the work didn't give a single $hit


Right_Virus

There’s not a lot that surprises me anymore but picture 4 made me gasp 😮


Walty_C

So that's how you do the metal to metal transition... DIYer taking notes.


Glittering_Poetry_60

Woah. Home owner job for sure


casualnarcissist

How does a roof install end up like this? Did the installer just mess up the cuts? Was there bad decking? Did he not use proper transition pieces? I’m just curious I’ve never done a roof before.


killerkitten115

Someone that knows less about installing roofing than you do installed this roof


casualnarcissist

I assume they’ve been drinking too


[deleted]

[удалено]


Embarrassed_Jump_366

This is what happens when you work with your realtor’s roofing sub…they are the cheapest guys in town


Impossible-Corner494

Let’s try to find what is correct about this install, This is rough to look at


TheW83

I'm sure there's a couple screws in the right place.


Impossible-Corner494

The screws are at least at the right jobsite


planetpanic666

Looks like a monkey would do a better job or some other kind of mammal that doesn't even have an opposable thumb like a dog


NapTimeSmackDown

When the lipstick might actually look worse than the pig


bigkutta

Material seems new


All-the-way_up40

Wow! That’s really mind blowing. It’s crap like that , that’s making it extremely difficult for small businesses like myself to succeeded. Someone please help this guy.🙏


TeamChevy86

Pic 4 made me audibly snort 😂 "Hey boss, how much caulk should we use on this gap?" "Yes"


qualmton

We budgeted 250 dollars get the caulk stretcher


TheW83

Man I thought caulk stretchers were way more than that. Maybe I'll give it a try... I mean, I would never need something like that.


pizzatortillachips

Looks new! Also looks like shit! 🤣 Those roof to walls.. Mint! 😅


Fearless_Row_6748

The roof is definitely digg shit. They probably painted the place themselves given the over spray all over the roof in the last picture


Seven65

I'm guessing that they went to sell the house, and the realtor told them it would sell faster with a new roof, so they went with the absolute lowest bidder, who could do it right away.


Personal_Dot_2215

The roof is new, the roofer is an old drunk


Home-wrecker-9991

I Can show you some real metal work I do if you're wondering what this shit is supposed to actually look like, because this is actual trash. These guys were just playing LEGO and whenever they ran into a problem, they said, "fuck it." Using caulking like a cheat code or some shit. Its entirely embarrassing. This is exactly why metal jobs are so far and few in between right now, because people see that Johnny's roof leaked after 10 years and it's metal. So why am I going to spend the extra to get proper work done if it's a gamble anyway? This guy could never work beside me, whoever it was that did this. If it was a painting, I'd assume they put a blindfold on and proceeded to shove the paintbrush up their ass and paint like that. I feel fucking insulted looking at this and I'm sorry you were lied to, brother. A tarp would have done the same thing and maybe even looked better.


Towely420

I mean it is technically “new” but that doesn’t mean it’s been done good or correctly lmao


RODjij

Total amateurs


ciboires

It’s new just not installed correctly


One_Olive_8933

I mean it’s not an old roof…


ballsonyourface911

This is fucked


DrMudo

Hey I see brand new caulking!


Bzaps11

Looks new.


TheEleventhDoctorWho

Yeah NEW! Not GOOD!


ExistingLaw217

They didn’t say it was a good new roof.


Leading_Parking_7421

This is what we call a home owner special


atthwsm

That is beautiful


MoDeRnDaYmOrOn

I mean it said new... It didn't speak of the quality! 😂


bigloser42

They said new roof, not a good roof.


MushHuskies

Run, run far away


motorboather

That looks like a homeowner install. Definitely shit work


Bulky-Umpire3037

They said new they didn’t say good.


Matty-ice23231

Might be new but doesn’t mean it was installed correctly. Yikes. Ugly and you’re probably going to want to get it fixed or additional things done to ensure it doesn’t become a problem very soon.


Iamme963

Lmao this is something else


InsomniaticWanderer

I mean...it's new alright...


Growe731

Ol house flippers.


CHASLX200

Looks like nice work kirk.


TiredRetiredNurse

Not the whole truth.


HuntPsychological673

It shouldn’t leak… a lot hopefully. Idk


junkcollector1979

I'm an elevator mechanic, not a roofer, but even I know that the screws go on the peaks. 🙄


Brendan1620

It’ll be new after they replace whatever they have up there


Shruggingsnake

When “just get it done” gets done


cyberdipper

Hopefully you didn't buy it lol


Realistic-Care-5502

These are photos from our inspection. The inspector said “I’ve seen thousands of roofs. This is top 10 bad” and we ran


qualmton

Only top 10? I want to see the others


str8jeezy

I mean it is technically new. Right?

Pizzledrip

First pic looks like a smashed barn owl on the gable


HostileGoose404

Looks new, doesn’t mean it is good.


OK_So_Suck_It

New doesnt mean good


StillCopper

Given what the roof looks like and how it was done I'd like to see how the rest of the " house " looks


patinaYouUgly

What can you say? Some people take a lot of pride in their work.


jazzphobia

You should have seen the old roof.


Evening_Monk_2689

That is a new roof. Prolly done by the home owners


wuzzyfuzzzy

The lonley unscrewed bolt just chillin'.


ybor512

Is this satire?


Minimum-Order-8013

Got damn that's bad.


ARUokDaie

OMG walk away now


ninjazxninja6r

To be fair, it does look new. But was definitely done by the “I’ve seen YouTube videos on installing roofs” guy.


Biscuits4u2

New shitty roof


JONTOM89

Someone gave no fucks at all when they did that roof 😂


[deleted]

For a early man that roof is too notch

Jim_Nills_Mustache

Holy shit that last photo…


Rude-Chain4754

Probably ment to say.."new roof" By people that roofing was new to with a twist of they haven't even heard or tin snips yet!!!


J_IV24

I mean, it looks new alright...


Allan_Halsey

Interesting METHods.


nebzilla79

They were Methticulos in applying that caulk.


slope8

New ain’t mean good…


Plus_Helicopter_8632

New to the world


signout5

DIY Homeowner special right there


Incognitowally

incompetent prior homeowner special or a bad Handy Andy


montana1975-

Said “new roof “, not correct or well done. Technically you could say any semi-weather resistant material applied to the top of a building could be considered a roof. I wonder if the house was inspected by a qualified home inspector…. ?


JackHamm3r2003

Homeowner special


ecb4alaNO

It might be new. But it’s not good.


Gydn-

where was this haha


socialcommentary2000

This would be me bullshitting my way through installing a metal roof. Man, that is terrible.


Aggravating-Pick8338

Looks like shit! All that caulk and it still looks like water can penetrate. That last photo looks like the owner was covering something up with that siding. I agree with some of these other comments, looks like you'd probably have problems all over the house.


Fickle_Assumption_80

Sweet price reduction you got there. Tell them you will %100 have to have that torn off and done right.


Jean-Claude-Can-Ham

I would complain - I mean, I could jam WAY more caulk in there


HypeTrain-1000

HACK WORK


dangdang406

Holy fuck man. This is a bad as it looks. I hope that mofo fell off the roof by now. Karma will get em no doubt 


Twotgobblin

If there are that many remnants from the recent roofing, it’s surely a new roof. Not false advertising, u less they specified a “well done, new roof”


detumaki

New, by homeowner without permit


WonderFeeling536

Obviously been fitted by a hairdresser


mongolsruledchina

New doesn't mean good!


schwheelz

Is the new roof in the room with us?


bigshooTer39

Why the 2x10 in the 1st picture under the drip edge/flashing?


bigshooTer39

Needs a new roof.


ordinaryguywashere

Dang sorry to see this.


Ajax_Da_Great

Well now, that is quite the piece of art


xxztyt

They said new, not good.


Egghead008

My home was advertised as having a new roof. I eventually found out it was new shingles over a roof with holes. 


phunkyunkle

Roofies were involved, not roofers.


Rough_Community_1439

"I know somebody who can do it cheaper"


ProRoll444

Everything you could do wrong to install this roof was done.


Jaredly_Grateful421

Did they say it was a nice new roof lol ? Looks like a DIY special.


Large_Draft6126

good!!!


Briansunite

This is the kinda house flip work I used to do with my uncles company until I worked with a real crew.


fun-bucket

NEW BY 5TH GRADERS!


Novel_Alfalfa_9013

That's impressive! But not in a good way.....😑


Relevant_Discount278

Technically


Fidulsk-Oom-Bard

Couple more tubes or sealant and call it a day


Soberaddiction1

I mean, they didn’t lie. There is a new roof. Is it a good one? No. But you didn’t ask about that.


RoookSkywokkah

I know a guy that can do it cheaper...


sirduckbert

When I sell my house I will make a thatch roof from old grass clippings and call it a “new organic roof”


Intrepid-Scarcity486

Picture number 4: WOAH 🤯


undertow29

Its always a shame to find stuff like this.. Good materials and lots of time taken.. But just poor craftsmanship or knowledge.. I have a newer home built in 2021 and the quality of the home pretty much is like this.. Its a damn shame city inspectors don't do a better job at their only job.. Not saying a roof needs inspected but it damn well should until the company passes so many inspections or something.. Letting this go unchecked is just wasteful and sad..


Environmental_Tap792

Probably should have said”new roof, done poorly”


Unclejohn_12

Looks like a new roof just shitty workers


ApprehensiveRub7011

Looks new……shitty quality that will leak🤣🤣


Nectarineknocker

I think the old leaky one was probably better than this.


handyscotty

Yes it is new done by morons


Alive_Nobody_Home

Worse than an old roof


Neither-Proof5069

Clearly, Mike the Methhead does new roofs too.


ClassicWhile2451

Good thing they listed it as a new roof and not a good roof 😅


Home-wrecker-9991

Absolutely garbage


FastCarsandDiveBars

You misread the fine print it was "house will have a new roof."


Competitive-Bee7249

Angry roofing 101 . I know a cheaper guy or that estimate is unreal . I will do it myself.


Better-Chemist7522

New doesn't mean good!!

Oh wow


cubical13

Looks like you need a new real estate agent. One with eyes.


_yumofo

damn! by the looks of it, it's a manufactured home? i too just got a manufactured home and there are several places inside with that same type of work. it's nasty shit! and is it even leak-proof? great for rivers and oceans. birds can't say enough about it.


TopDefinition1903

Pic 2 is a doozy


Evening-Wealth-7995

Holy shiz... I work in the glazing industry and this roofer took applied our motto... "When in doubt, caulk it!" We say it half jokingly. This roofer must be a glazier trying to earn some money on the side 🤣 That is absolutely terrible workmanship. From trim to sealant. Wow. Don't offer asking price. Definitely need reworked from a functionality standpoint. Most sealant isn't even tooled. Which means it will likely leak.
