Chris Keil  from A-1 All American Roofing Joins me for some straight talk about all things roofing. I have run into Chris on many roofs in the past and he has always taken the time to answer any questions i may have had about roofing materials, flashings, skylights etc. Chris shares his 30 years of roofing experience with us which makes him an encyclopedia of all things roofing.

Chris and I discuss:
: Using aerial drones for roof inspections.
: How to identify multiple roofing layers and the inherent issues that come with this condition.
: How to identify if a clay tile roof is actually fastened to the roof sheathing.
: Roof/Attic ventilation options and recommendations.
: How to identify TPO vs PVC roofing materials.
: How to identify missing or non standard flashing installations.
: Chimney/Roof Flashing (Who's Job Is It to install the correct flashings?).
: How to inspect skylights for proper flashing and fastening (make sure its screwed in place).
: Silicone Roof coatings are very effective if applied correctly.
: Low slope roofs with inadequate pitch for proper drainage.
: Stone coated metal roofs (do not walk on them because they dent).
: Metal roofs and inadequate ventilation that leads to condensation on ceilings.
