Composition shingle is the most common covering in Ingleside and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the first to show UV damage.
Core samples settle the argument on a Ingleside low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible. We see it on Ingleside roofs every week. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Ingleside shingle roof covering, and it shows up years before a ceiling stain does. Damp readings matter on Ingleside low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it.
