The roof at this Virginia Beach home inspection had recently been replaced. As I walked back an forth I kept observing what you see in the pictures. Bright shiny nail heads were in many locations. Each of these exposed nails is a future leak waiting to happen. The nails have created a hole and with exposure that hole will eventually open up around the nail. There are couple of cures here.
The temporary solution is dabbing with roof cement. The long term and correct repair is to replace the shingles that were installed incorrectly. What happened was the installer was using a nail gun, you can see some of the nail gun ammo that was left in the gutter along with debris, and was moving along too fast and not making sure that the nails were being properly placed.
Just an example of the things your Virginia Beach home inspector is looking for during your home inspection in Hampton Roads.
