Not sure I totally buy that full coverage is the only way. I’ve seen some folks just do the main walkway and leave the rest—yeah, there’s still ice, b...
Yeah, those clippings are like tiny projectiles—no matter what you do, they find a way to escape. I tried using a plastic container once, thinking I’d...
I get that, but honestly, wedging stuff in the loop makes me nervous. Had a tape measure slip out mid-climb once—luckily didn’t hit anyone, but it was...
I’ve jammed my chalk line in the hammer loop a bunch of times—way easier than digging through pockets for it every few minutes. Ever tried hanging a u...
I get why torch-down is popular, but honestly, the open flame part makes me nervous too. I was on a job last summer where the lead guy had a fire exti...

I've wondered the same thing tbh. Worked with a guy last summer who insisted on using the expensive sealant every time, said it held up better against...
Green roofs are cool, but aren't they pretty heavy? I'd worry about the extra weight during snow season...anyone had issues with structural support ne...
I get what you're saying, but do you think it's really about reputation, or more about how clearly the warranty terms are spelled out? I've seen some ...
