[19] METAL ROOF IN LANGLEY B.C. |
|
|
|
 |
THIS MIDDLE AGED COUPLE REALLY WANTED A ROOF THAT WAS LOW MAINTENANCE ,AND THAT THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE TO RE-ROOF AGAIN.
|
|
|
 |
WE TOOK A CLOSE LOOK AT THE ASPHALT SHINGLES, AND THEY WERE TOTALLY WORN OUT. THE GUTTERS WERE FULL OF SHINGLE GRIT.
|
|
|
 |
THE ROOF APPEARED TO BE WATERTIGHT, BUT WE WEREN'T SO SURE. STRIPPING THE OLD ROOF WOULD REVEAL THE FACTS.
|
|
|
 |
THE SHINGLES WERE COVERED IN NEEDLES WHICH WOULD STICK TO THE ROOF. THIS DEBRIS HAD TO BE CLEARED REGULARLY, OR RAINWATER COULD BE FORCED SIDEWAYS ON THE SHINGLES CAUSING LEAKAGE.
|
|
|
 |
AS WE HAD THOUGHT; WATER HAD BEEN GETTING UNDER THE SHINGLES AND GETTING THE ROOFDECK WET. JUST BECAUSE THE INTERIOR HADN'T SHOWN ANY SIGNS OF WATER DAMAGE, DIDN'T MEAN THE ROOF WAS WATERTIGHT.
|
|
|
 |
THE MAIN ROOF OF THE HOUSE WAS SHEETED IN WITH 5/8" OSB. THAT STUFF WILL GO TO A PILE OF MUSH, IF IT STAYS WET FOR ANY LENGHT OF TIME.
|
|
|
 |
THE GARAGE ROOF WAS DECKED IN WITH SHIPLAP. WE REPLACED ALL THE BAD BOARDS.
|
|
|
 |
AS USUAL WE USED DECKARMOUR PREMIUM UNDERLAY, FOR A SUPERIOR WATERTIGHT APPLICATION.
|
|
|
 |
WE ROLLFORMED OUR SNAPLOCK PANELS ON SITE. THE COLOR IS [SLATE BLUE].
|
|
|
 |
THIS ROOF IS COMPLETELY WATERTIGHT, AND SHOULD PROVIDE LOW MAINTENANCE COVERAGE FOR 50 YEARS OR MORE. THE OWNERS CAN SPEND THEIR RETIREMENT FUNDS ON TRAVEL, AND NOT ROOF REPAIRS.
|
|
|
 |
WE INSTALLED A CUSTOM GUTTER GUARD ON THEIR NEW GUTTERS, TO PREVENT ICE AND SNOW DAMAGE.
