Umm... Sadly as with most houses built in the last 20 years here it's pretty much par for the course for the neighborhood. The trim work in our house is so shoddy I've considered ripping it all out... Looks like they rough cut it with a hatchet, then back caulked and painted it to attempt to hide the crappy work.

I have done it with 50% success. That would be the best way to ensure that the mechanical fastener will make it stay put for good even if the mastic fails. Most roofer just mastic along with cement and call it the day. They stay put pretty well until the big earthquake.   You will be fine.
Whenyou get up there, seal up that crack or opening with something to keep bees or other insect from entering the home. |
So I need to redo the glob of cement as well when I put it back up there? I'll take the broken tile up so I can try to match the old job.
