That’s kind of where I’m at—felt’s been around forever and you know what to expect, but all these new “eco” products make me curious. I tried a synthe...
That “favorite puddle zone” thing is real. I’ve got a flat roof too, and no matter how much I clear the drains or sweep off debris, there’s always thi...
That’s been my experience too. I tried to cut corners on a chicken coop roof once—just slapped paint on bare panels—and it peeled like crazy after one...
Yeah, I hear you on rinsing not being enough. I’m about a mile from the beach and even with regular rinses, my grill and patio table started showing r...
I’ve tried the tape-style stuff and honestly, it didn’t last through a full winter up here (lots of freeze/thaw). For me, caulk held up better, but I ...

Totally agree with this. Just when you think you're set, nature decides otherwise. Had a similar issue—turned out soffit vents were painted over by pr...
Totally get what you're saying about the noise issue! We had a metal roof installed on our cabin a few years ago, thinking it'd be the perfect solutio...
