  • The reason you cannot have conventional shingles on the low-pitched roof is that the water does not drain off fast enough, which would allow water to permeate within the shingles. As you already know you will have to tear off the shingles and go with a membrane roof or a metal roof.

  • Mike the minimum pitch for shingles is a 3/12. Your house looks like a 4/12 pitch. Maybe 5/12. I think you may have to go with a rubberized roof for a nearly flat pitch. Like everyone else here says, you need to tear off the shingles, and replace the damaged plywood. Good luck

  • sorry , you need to tear it off and replace rotten plywood. not enough pitch for shingles. a torch down or a single layer edm rubber.

    enjoy your videos man thanks for posting.

  • Hi Mike. I'm a roofing contractor here in SoCal, here is my 5c of wisdom. You do not have enough pitch for shingles. It will never work. Coating- waste of time and money. (sorry) Tear off everything. The wet plywood will have to be replaced. I would go to a local roofing supply house, they should be able to hook you up with some good guys, and have it hot mopped. It's a 1 day job, $ 750 to 850. Or torch down roofing - that would be my choice, that's what I do.

  • yer id say bad pitch.

  • I have the same problem, not enough pitch and it always leaks when it rains.

  • Mike , I am coming to visit my Nephew and his New Baby in Killeen, Texas in June (how far from you?), be glad to help, You and your Brother . Mike you are probably looking at 350.00 (thats with all new plywood), if that ...

    But you are probably looking at , 75.00 in COLD BEER and another 100.00 in BBQ ( I want to try TEXAS BRISKET, alot of it ) !!! lol ...

  • Damn Mike , before I tell you , you have NO SLOPE at ALL (back slope) , I have to say, WHAT a BEAUTIFUL VIEW !!! Man that is beautiful !!! I could BBQ and drink COLD BEER all day long in the RAIN there !!! Needs to come off all the way to joist, re-sheath and black paper , mike putting that sealent on , water may run BACK to your fasha board (house looks lower than porch), Mike BITE the BULLIT !!!

    Call the BROTHER , and BBQ plus COLD BEER !!!

  • @hvactecster79

    Deck screws for decking to joists is what I meant if you didn't use those. Roofing nails for shingles, but would have went with metal roofing on deck.

  • Not enough pitch, roofing felt needed from beginning, deck screws with Texas heat and deck and/or roof should not be attached to any manufactured home (should be freestanding).

    PM me if you want some further info.

    Take care,

    Brett
