Honestly, I’m starting to think moss is just part of the “homeowner starter kit.” My first attempt at scrubbing it off was… let’s say, enthusiastic. D...
If I had to pick a new roof tomorrow, I’d probably be standing in the aisle at Home Depot for three hours, texting my dad and googling “what roof won’...
I keep hearing about standing seam metal, but is it really that much quieter than regular metal roofs? My neighbor’s place sounds like a drumline ever...
