"Both methods definitely have their quirks, so it's always smart to double-check visually and with some good ol' fashioned experience."
Couldn't agree more—I've had thermal imaging lead me down some rabbit holes myself. Once spent half an hour puzzling over a heat signature that turned out to be a sunlit chimney chase...lesson learned the hard way. Glad you found someone reliable, that's rare these days.
Haha, thermal imaging can definitely trick you sometimes. A few years back, I spent way too long tracking down what I thought was a leak—turned out to be a warm spot from sunlight hitting metal flashing. Felt pretty silly afterward, but hey, that's how we learn, right? Glad you finally found a trustworthy roofer; good contractors are like gold these days.
Yeah, thermal imaging can definitely send you chasing ghosts sometimes. I remember the first time I used one on a roof inspection—I was convinced I'd found moisture trapped under the membrane. Spent ages carefully marking out the area, double-checking measurements, and even calling over my supervisor to confirm. Turned out it was just residual heat from an HVAC exhaust vent nearby... felt pretty embarrassed at the time, but honestly, that's the kind of mistake that sticks with you and makes you better in the long run.
Glad to hear you've finally landed a decent roofer, though. It can be tough sorting through contractors who seem legit but end up cutting corners or overcharging. A good one really does make all the difference in quality and peace of mind. Sounds like you're on solid ground now—nice work tracking them down.
Yeah, thermal imaging can definitely trick you sometimes. I've had similar experiences—once spent half an afternoon convinced I'd found storm-related water intrusion, only to discover later it was just shaded areas cooling differently. Good learning experience, though. Curious, did your roofer mention anything about preventative measures against future storm damage? Some contractors skip that step, but it's usually worth the extra conversation...
Had a similar issue once—thermal imaging had me chasing shadows (literally) for hours. Did your roofer actually recommend specific preventative measures, or just vaguely mention them? I've found some contractors toss around buzzwords without giving concrete solutions...
