Our back patio roof leaks like crazy when we get any rain or snow. The decking under the shingles is showing signs of rotting and the leaks seem to move all around.
It just seems to me that with the way the roof lines come off the garage that it just basically shoots water under the shingles, or that it's just too flat to really keep the water out.
I want to keep the basic structure, as the rafters seem pretty sound.
What I'd like to do is:
1) tear off the shingles
2) replace the decking
3) put on a metal roof.
4) Get rid of this weird little 'alcove' where they left the patio roof on when they built on the garage. That alcove is very attractive to pack rats and they like to fill it up with all kinds of debris.
So, Just thought I'd post a couple of pictures and see what comments or advice you all might have.
Thanks!
