I’ve tried those peel-and-stick patches too, and yeah, they just don’t stand a chance once July rolls around here. I had one on my shed roof last summ...
I’ve wrestled with this same problem the last two summers. We’re in a spot where the air’s thick with smoke for weeks, and I’m always torn between sea...
Yeah, I hear you on that. I tried those “no-clog” guards a few years back—looked great at first, but by the second fall, I was up there with a shop va...
Had a metal roof put on our last house thinking it’d be the last time I’d ever mess with roofing. Looked sharp at first, but after a couple hailstorms...

I've noticed the same thing about ambient conditions. Last summer, I was helping my brother-in-law patch up his garage roof with TPO. We started early...
