RE: Is a white roof really worth it or just hype?
That’s the part I always harp on - hail’s sneaky. I’ve seen roofs look fine from the ground, but then you get up there and find little dings or splits that don’t leak until months later. Ever notice how some TPO patches ...
RE: Thinking about replacing my roof - are shingles really worth it?
That’s the part that always gets me too. I’ve inspected a lot of roofs where the homeowner thought everything was fine, only to find missing flashing or nails popping up a year later. It’s tough because you can’t really ...
