We went with the Class 4s too, mainly for hail, but I’ve noticed the same thing with heat—our attic’s definitely warmer in the summer now. Ours are a ...

That lines up with what I’ve seen too. I always wonder if people just assume “coating” means waterproof, no matter what’s underneath. I tried a quick ...

I’m with you on the insurance thing—feels like they’re quick to raise rates after a claim, but never offer a discount for actually keeping up with stu...

That’s exactly it—every surface seems to have its own cleaning headache. I put in smooth tile thinking it’d be easier, but then it’s slippery and ever...

Yeah, that's been my experience too. I've seen it work great in some spots, but then again, I've also pulled up fabric that looked like a swamp undern...

Yeah, sealing and flashing properly is definitely a good call—can't argue with zero leaks. But I'm curious, did your brother's roof already have some ...
