Thank you very much for the information! I will research on the "Duro-Last" roof this evening.

Could you please tell me more? Will it cause a lot of trouble in the future? Will it cost me a lot of money to fix it? I'm not sure if the flat part is composition. I know from the seller that the flat roof is 3 years old. Here is the description from my inspection report: Asphalt shingles inspected from the edge with a ladder. Part of the roof is a gable/hip construction and was covered with laminated granule surface composition shingles. Roof material is fastened down with nails. This structure as viewed from the attic area indicated 2x6 rafters which spaced 24 inches on center with a major ridge of 2x8. Shingles were intact and revealed no significant granule deterioration, missing, warping, cracking, loosing or other premature deterioration. Part of roof (in bedroom area) is built-up roof, which is in good condition on the time of this inspection. In the seller's disclosure notice, the seller checked "NO" for the following statement: Is there an overlay roof covering on the property (shingles or roof covering placed over existing shingles or roof covering)?

Those two tanks are water storage tanks for the city of Southside place.

The living room and the garage are on the front. They are covered by shingles/sloped roofs. The other parts of the house are covered by flat roof. According to the seller's disclosure notice, the flat roof is 3 years old.

Actually, the roof type is Composition Shingle/Flat Roof. Dog is not included in the sale.

I'm not sure if it is a good deal. The elementary school is my primary concern while looking for a house.

I'm new to this forum and I just read two posts regarding bad home builders. I start to think of my house. (Actually I am going to move in this house next month.) It was built in 1975. It has a flat roof. The previous owner apparently experienced leaking problems. I can not find out which builder built this house on any documentation. Could anyone tell me how I can find out this information? Thank you in advance!
