Had a client once who tried every “miracle” coating on his old metal shed roof—by year three, it looked like a patchwork quilt and still leaked like a...
I hear you on the sore muscles—my knees still remember the time I tried to “old-fashioned” my way up a slick roof after a hailstorm. But here’s the th...
