Homewood roofing questions
- What happens if you find plank decking under my shingles?
- It is common in pre-war Homewood homes and it is not a disaster. Gapped 1x6 plank will not hold a nail reliably at modern spacing, so we overlay it with new sheathing. Because we expect it here, we inspect for it up front and show you the cost before the job starts instead of calling you from the roof with a change order.
- Can you work around my street parking and my neighbors?
- Yes, and in Edgewood that planning is most of the job. We stage material where it will not block the street, keep the dumpster or trailer to the shortest possible time on site, and let the immediate neighbors know the day before.
- My porch roof is nearly flat and it leaks. Can shingles fix it?
- No, and that is why it leaks. Standard asphalt shingle is not rated below a 2:12 pitch. Low-slope porches and carports need a rolled or single-ply membrane. We install the correct system for the pitch rather than shingling it and hoping.
