Rainwater leak in ceiling

I had those spots above my exterior door, every rain. My brick moulding was rotten.

Welcome to the forums.

I moved you to your own thread.

From your description we have very little to go on.
Have you checked your gutters for clogs ?

We need pictures or a better description of what you need help with.

Sounds more like a comment on the previous thread, not a question...

Will This Work?

It's hard to conceptualize in my head if this design will work. I'm thinking it should, but I can't seem to find any references online to this exact configuration. The first image is a top view of the existing structure (large rectangle on left), my new garage addition (smaller rectangle on the right), and the mudroom (red triangle). The second image is the right side view where the garage and mudroom addition will be built. The red lines again represent the mudroom. I need to know if this is doable. In other words, with the mudroom wall and roof at a 45 degree angle, will it intersect okay with the wall of the existing home and the new garage roof? Does anyone have a software application that they can plug this into relatively easy and provide a 3D representation? [ATTACH]78333[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]78334[/ATTACH]Read More

One year old new construction roof tiles blowing off

My house is new construction and approaching its one year warranty anniversary mid April. The house has its back to a cornfield where it gets pretty windy.. i think the highest this year way 65mph.. a couple times. These are 3 tab asphalt shingles not architectural ones. I have had a few occurances after they have set on a hot day with some pieces of shingles blowing off here and there. When these were installed, it was around Feburary of 2016, so they didn't correctly ser until April or May.. we had a few instances where they blew off badly from wind because they were flopping around before setting. They were corrected before move in. So far the builder says the roof spot repairs fall under the one year warranty.. after that i am on my own per them, but clearly im fighting it. When these were installed in winter, were they supposed to be manually sealed or glued in anyway to prevent what happened during cold months? Below are a few pictures of the shingles blowing in the wind after first installed, and recently with a few missing shingles. Could these shingles be a side effect from improper installation? Or just not able to withstand the wind.. if the latter, well what to i do other than spot trear shingles blowing off every year?
