19. Insufficient securing of valley
Roof valleys are the places on a roof that are most vulnerable to leaks because they handle a large volume of run-off water. When installing shingles in a roof valley never connect shingles or make joints close to the center line of the valley. It causes leaks.
Solution:
Remove the short pieces from the valley and install a full shingle or piece with appropriate length.
A good example of a secure valley is the Californian method!
20. Holes due to installation
Check your roof for holes. On steeper roofs the roofers will install a toe board to hold materials and themselves. After the installation of shingles is complete, they remove the board and the nail holes are either forgotten or caulked. The caulk may not be of sufficient quality to last as long as the roof. If you hire a roofer to install a new roof, ask them to use roof jacks which are nailed on top of a course and then shingled over. The roof jack can then be removed by lifting it off the slotted hole.
Solution:
Use high quality mastic (Shingle Stick) and drop some granules over these glue dots. Or replace the affected shingles with new ones.

Enlarging the living area of your house or building project often requires the reconstruction or remodeling of some parts of this building. Most of the time the existing roof is not suitable for the house addition, so installing a new roof over the additional square meters is usually required. When coming across a renovation project nowadays, you often see people choosing for a flat roof construction. This flat roof is an excellent and economical choice for an addition. A flat roof can be connected to the existing slope roof of the house and gives a very contemporary look to the newly added space.
Flat roof connected to pitch roof
A flat roof isn't actually flat; it has a slope of 2° - 3°. It appears to be flat, but it needs a slope to allow the water to drain from the roof. For slopes less than 9,5° we cannot install roof shingles. Instead the roof must be done with a modified bituminous membrane (e.g. Armourvalley) or other materials like EPDM, PVC or TPO covering.
