[66 ] METAL SLATE SHINGLES , CHILLIWACK B.C. |
|
THEY CHOSE METAL BECAUSE OF IT'S PROVEN DURABILITY, AND SUPERIOR WARRANTY. THEY CHOSE TRISTAR, BECAUSE OF OUR LONGEVITY, AND SUCCESS RECORD OVER THE PAST 33 YEARS.
|
|
 |
THE PREVIOUS OWNERS PUT ON THE CHEAPEST 3-TAB FIBREGLASS ASPHALT SHINGLES. THE ROOF LOOKED VERY ORDINARY: VERY PLAIN JANE, AND CHEAP TO BE FRANK.
|
|
|
 |
THE SHINGLES WEREN'T VERY OLD, BUT THEY WERE VERY DISCOLOURED FROM MILDEW STAINING. THE ROOF WAS HUGE AND LOW TO THE GROUND, AND THE GENERAL APPEARANCE WAS NOT ATTRACTIVE.
|
|
|
 |
THE ASPHALT SHINGLES WERE LEAKING IN SEVERAL AREAS, AND THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR PATCH AND REPAIRS. THEY WANTED A ROOF SYSTEM THAT WOULD BE GUARANTEED TO BE WATERTIGHT UNDER SEVERE WIND CONDITIONS.
|
|
|
 |
WE USUALLY REMOVE ROOFING MATERIALS THAT ARE BADLY BUCKED AND CURLED.HOWEVER, IN THIS CASE THE ROOFDECK WAS SOLID AND THE SHINGLES WERE LAYING FLAT.
|
|
|
 |
WE APPLIED DECKARMOUR PREMIUM UNDERLAY TO THE COMPLETE ROOFDECK TO ENSURE A WATERTIGHT APPLICATION.
|
|
|
 |
THE INTERLOCKING PANELS ARE FASTENED WITH CLIPS, AND NAILED WITH TREATED BARBED NAILS FOR SUPERIOR HOLDING POWER.
|
|
|
 |
THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 50 SQUARES OR ROOFING. WITH SHINGLES THIS JOB COULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN 2 TO 3 DAYS. THE METAL TOOK US 6 DAYS TO COMPLETE.
|
|
|
 |
THE RIDGES ARE EXTREMELY WATERTIGHT, BECAUSE THEY ARE FLASHED TWICE. THE FIRST FLASHING COVERS THE PEAK, AND THEN THE MATCHING METAL RIDGE CAPS GO ON TOP.
|
|
|
 |
THIS ROOF LOOKS AWESOME NOW. THE OWNERS LOVE IT, AND WE LOVE IT TOO. IT MAKES A GREAT DRIVEBY, FOR ANY PROSPECTIVE CUSTOMER.
