  The actual plywood measurement is 7/16" ... which means it
probably started out as 15/32" and "shrunk" a little bit as it dried out over time. 15/32" plywood
is usually routinely called 1/2" plywood. After walking the entire roof, the plywood seems very
firm, and will provide an excellent base for a new roof. There should be no concerns regarding
strength or durability of the existing plywood ... |
 Sometimes gutters are so poorly "hung" that it seems like
they're overflowing, when actually most of the water is finding its' way behind the gutters. Since
this is a relatively small roof, 5" gutters should be plenty to carry water from any rainstorm --
even with only one downspout. |
|
AND, if we add another downspout, water flow out of the gutter is increased by almost 300%! Amazing. Three times the water flow ... Contact me if you want to see the math involved in these calculations. |
 Both pipe collars will be replaced with new neoprene and aluminum units. The pipe
in this picture can even be extended if desired. |
 Rustoleum is the brand we use for painting rusty stuff up
there. It's incredible. |
 Yes, the existing shingles have seen their day ... |
 We almost always install Air-Vent's Shingle Vent II "shingle over" ridge vent system for increased air
flow. |
 It's important to note the differences in our new roofs
vs. the competition's; namely the "upgrades" that most other roofers don't even consider
doing.(Note: All blue links below are clickable and open new windows of information.) 1. Custom formed aluminum drip edges that help direct water into the gutters so that the plywood and fascia is protected from water and ice dams for the life of your roof. We custom form them on site on our sheet metal brake so that they fit your roof exactly. There will be about 183 feet of 6" wide drip edge applied to this project. 2. Ice and water shield that permanently bonds itself to the plywood surface AND the aluminum drip edge to prevent damage to plywood from ice dams and horizontal rain. There will be about 278 feet of material, 3 feet wide, when this job is completed. 3. Custom chimney flashing. I haven't seen anybody else do this routinely, and on
this project, we'll use custom colored aluminum to blend with the new shingles. Chimney "counter
flashings" will be sealed using Geocel Tripolymer Sealant. 5. Since we are tearing the entire roof and felt off, it's the perfect time to cut bigger slots in the 1/2" plywood sub-roofing and install a new Shingle Vent II ridge vent system. The added volume of air circulated throughout the attic will keep the area cooler AND drier: a. Keeping the insulation dry and making it more effective. |
