RE: What should I consider when choosing top structure shed fabrication services and tarpaulin for industrial or outdoor use?
That’s a good point about the frame and corners - learned that the hard way last winter. I went with a mid-range tarp thinking it’d be fine, but the wind kept working it against a sharp edge on my shed and eventually tor...
RE: How often do you actually get your business roof checked?
Flat roofs are basically water magnets, right? I learned that the hard way my first winter. Thought I could push off a check for a few months... ended up with a soggy ceiling and a bill that made me wince. Now I’m in the...
RE: Why is every roof part named something weird?
I get where you’re coming from, but I’m not sure changing the names would actually make much difference with insurance folks. When we had hail damage last year, our adjuster barely looked at the roof - he just snapped a ...
RE: Clearing roof mess: DIY or hire a pro?
Title: Clearing roof mess: DIY or hire a pro? I’ve gone back and forth on this myself. My place is about 15 years old, asphalt shingles, and I live in the PNW where moss basically grows on everything if you blink twice....

RE: How tricky is too tricky when fixing modern gadgets?
Yeah, learned something similar with my garage door opener. Thought I'd be proactive and update the firmware - big mistake. Suddenly it decided halfway open was the new fully closed. Spent hours trying to recalibrate it ...
RE: Is it true tile roofs are basically maintenance-free?
Yeah, gotta agree with you there. When I bought my house, the previous owner kept bragging about the tile roof being "zero maintenance." Fast forward a year, and I'm up there scraping moss and pulling out random branches...
RE: Is It Just Me or Do Underlayments Never Last as Long as Promised?
Yeah, totally agree with this. When we bought our first place, the previous owners had just redone the roof - looked great at first glance. But within two years, we had leaks popping up because the attic ventilation was ...
