That lines up with what I’ve been seeing, too. Synthetic definitely seems to outlast felt, especially if you’re in an area with wild temperature swing...
Had a similar situation last year—my place is pushing 18 years now, and it’s been patched in more spots than I care to admit. The cost of a full repla...
I get what you’re saying about only worrying if you see daylight or leaks, but I’d argue dents and scratches can be more than just cosmetic, especiall...
Yeah, the noise reduction is a game changer. I used to live in a house with a metal roof and honestly, every hailstorm sounded like someone was throwi...
I’ve run into the same thing with local yards—great if you want basic stuff, but the minute you want a weird color or a heavier gauge, it’s like pulli...
I get where you’re coming from about checking the attic, but I’d argue it’s not always enough—especially after something as wild as a hurricane. Somet...

Yeah, I’ve noticed the same thing—shingle color or brand barely matters if the attic’s just trapping heat. What really helped at my place was sealing ...

Had a similar issue last month—thought the heat was off, but after checking everything twice, realized I was rolling way too slow. Picked up the pace ...
Good point about drainage—seen that happen myself. But even with proper drainage, I've noticed some underlayments just don't hold up over time, especi...
That's a solid tip about grading—I learned that one the hard way. Last summer, after a pretty nasty storm, we noticed water pooling near our basement ...
Honestly, it's not too bad if you start slow and steady. I'd say spend the first weekend practicing basic maneuvers in a wide open space—no trees or c...
