Interesting—my attic’s always been a bit of a mystery too. I did seal up some old stains, but honestly, I’m not convinced it makes much difference unl...
Flat roofs get a bad rap, but I think a lot of it comes down to how they’re built and, yeah, whether you actually keep an eye on them. I’ve seen some ...
I hear you on the ice damming with solid covers. I tried mesh guards a while back—less ice, but they still let in pine needles, which just turned into...
Funny, I had the same issue with rocks—looked great until the first big storm, then it was just a mess. I’ve been leaning toward cup style too, mostly...
