A mix of older ranch homes and rebuilt streets
Some Moore streets have older ranch homes with roofs that have been patched or replaced several times. Others have newer homes built after storms, with newer shingles and framing. The two types need different attention.
On older roofs, the questions are layers of old shingles, thin decking and tired flashing. On newer ones, the questions are workmanship details, such as nail placement, flashing at walls and how the roof is attached to the structure. Moore sits on red clay soil that swells and shrinks, which can slowly shift walls and put stress on rooflines. A trained eye checks the shingles, the flashing and the sagging or waviness of the roof plane.
