Roofs directly face the weather, and any simple mistake can result in expensive problems. What are the key details of steep and low slope roofs that make for more reliable, durable weather protection? How can we avoid the most common errors in asphalt shingle installs, EPDM and TPO low-slope roofs, and even metal roofing? What are repair or maintenance options for these systems? We will cover: edge details that hold up, how to install leak-free drains, connections to masonry, stucco, siding, and other roofing materials, skylights, ice dam protection, and dozens of other details learned from thousands of roof repairs & installations.
