but, but, they are sooooo cheap.
It's usually poorly done additions where people use them instead of tying into the roof line like they should because that costs too much money.

I see 1/12 and 2/12 shingled roofs...

I have too and I scratch my head about it.

while on the subject of low-pitched roofs, I help my dad install architectural on my grandmother's house about 12 years ago. 4/12 pitch. The now deceased grandmother's house started getting some leaks a few years ago. When I lifted up some shingles to inspect for leaks I see that a lot of the roofing nail' heads are rusted and some completely rusted off (this is everywhere). I figured we must have did something wrong somewhere on the install but I don't understand where.
Fast forward to few years later I am on a different 4/12 roof with architectural shingle looking a leak around a chimney. I happen to look under some shingles and they had the same situation with the nail heads rusting. This house had its roof "professionally" installed.
Any one else see this problem of nails rusting under architectural shingles on low sloping roofs?

I have a small portion like this. It's where the back porch meets the roof.
We used underlayment at about $80 a roll and then used architectural shingles to match the roof.
I didn't want the metal roof that was drawn.

any recent weather phenomenon in your area that could have contributed to totaling your roof? if so, home owners might cover it and it wouldn't be hard to find a roofer to do it for zero out of pocket

If not then literally go up there and throw hail sized rocks down on your roof

I think the adjusters are familiar with the NOAA website

actually not a bad strategy if there was some fairly recently hail documented in the area

if you don't get architectural you will regret it. lol
I think I will DIY next time. Me, my dad and two friends knocked out my garage roof, and the way it's built it's a lot more complicated than the house, which is just a rectangle. (on the garage I replaced half the plywood, would do the same for the house, probably)

I had 2 inspectors come look at my house exactly a year apart with no hail storms in between and one denied the claim and one accepted it. Got a new roof for $1500. It never hurts to try

I had mine replaced a couple of years ago, we get a fair amount of hail so most of the roofers around here have former adjusters working for them that know how to game the system and will usually do the job for whatever the coverage is, they go up on the roof with the adjuster and sort of fight for it to be totaled, which is good because not all damage is immediately apparent after the storm
