Estimating & Workflow
Creased shingle
A shingle that has been folded or bent so it no longer lies flat. A crease can bother appearance without stopping the shingle from shedding water, so the inspection looks at whether it sealed down and still functions. Cause is recorded separately from impact damage because the two fall differently under coverage.
