[27] STEEL ROOF IN VANCOUVER B.C. |
|
EVERYTHING HAD BEEN MODERNIZED AND UPDATED IN THIS VERY WELL MAINTAINED HOME , EXCEPT FOR THE ROOF. THE OWNERS CHOSE A METAL ROOF FOR IT'S PERMANENCE.
|
|
 |
OUR JOB WAS TO INSTALL A METAL ROOF/ UPSIZE THE 2" DRAINS TO 3" DRAINS/ RESET THE DRAINS IN THE GUTTER/ INSTALL NEW DOWNSPOUTS WITH DRAINGUARDS/REPLACE THE FASCIA COVERS/ AND INSTALL NEW SKYLIGHTS
|
|
|
 |
THIS ROOF WAS COVERED IN TRISTAR'S 26 GUAGE SNAPLOCK ROOFING PANEL IN [CHARCOAL GREY] WITH MATCHING CAP FLASHING, FASCIA COVER, AND DOWNSPOUTS.
|
|
|
 |
THE ORIGINAL ROOF HAD 3-TAB DUROID SHINGLES WHICH WERE LATER RECOVERED WITH T-LOCK SHINGLES. THE RECENTLY REBUILT CHIMNEY NEEDED REFLASHING, AND THE ROOF VENTILATION REQUIRED MAJOR UPGRADING.
|
|
|
 |
WE APPLIED A PEEL AND STICK UNDERLAY TO KEEP THE HOME DRY, DURING A RAINY MARCH INSTALLATION.
|
|
|
 |
THE OWNERS HAD ALWAYS WANTED A COUPLE OF 2X4 DOUBLE GLAZED GLASS SKYLIGHTS INSTALLED; AND NOW WAS THE RIGHT TIME TO DO IT.
|
|
|
 |
WE HAD TO CUT INTO A TRUSS AND DO SOME BACK FRAMING TO INSTALL THE SKYLIGHTS ON A 2X6 CURB. THE OWNER OFFERED TO DO ALL THE INSIDE FINISHING, WHEN HE COULD GET AROUND TO IT.
|
|
|
 |
A NICE, CLEAN, PROFESSIONAL LOOK TO IT, WHEN IT'S DONE PROPERLY
|
|
|
 |
AFTER SHOT/ FROM BACK TO FRONT. WE CUT A 3 INCH OPENING ACROSS THE PEAK OF THE ROOF AND INSTALLED OUR CONTINUOUS RIDGE VENT SYSTEM. MAXIMUM VENTILATION, YEAR ROUND, WITH A NICE CLEAN LOOK TO IT.
|
|
|
 |
THE FASCIA BOARDS AND CAP FLASHINGS WERE COVERED WITH THE CHEAPEST, CRAPPIEST, THIN ALUMINUM FLASHINGS INSTALLED BY THE SIDING CO, A FEW YEARS AGO. THEY ARE PRACTICALLY FALLING OFF THE BUILDING.
|
|
|
 |
WE INSTALLED 26 GUAGE STEEL FLASHINGS TO MATCH THE ROOF.THE HEAVY GUAGE MATERIAL LAYS NICE AND FLAT AND RESISTS BUCKLING AND OIL CANNING IN THE HEAT OF SUMMER.
