 The present roof a 25 year fiberglass / asphalt shingle product as determined from the Construction drawings of 1981; show signs / evidence of nearing its’ life cycle period. They were installed and completed back sometime in 1982. The buildings main roof structure is a wood framed gable with 7 small shed dormers at the front (West) elevation and four larger shed dormer structures at the rear (East) elevation – which also serve as protection of the exterior stairwells. Access to the roof was not possible – for verification of the dormer and ridge flashing – which tend to be problematic and require biennial maintenance.

 From our site survey (walk-thru) and as witnessed in our existing conditions photographs – the present building roof edges, rakes and soffit areas reflect the age and poor conditions of the shingles and roof drip edges.  Noticed as well and an area of concern were missing gutters and fascia / rake trim contributing to the “wash-out” problems / conditions at the building grade and basement access points.
