Roofing and Remodeling Project

Roofing And Remodeling Project Info :
Asphalt shingle, made of bitumen embedded in an organic or fiberglass
mat, usually covered with colored, man-made ceramic grit. Cheaper and
lighter than slate or tiles. Life expectancies vary from 20 to 50 years
depending on the product. Sun is the enemy of asphalt shingles so
longer life can be expected in cloudier locations or at higher
latitudes.

Mechanically seamed metal. Long life. High cost, suitable for roofs of low pitch such as 0.5/12 to 3/12 pitch.

Concrete, usually reinforced with fibres of some sort. Not suitable
in climates that experience many freeze/thaw cycles during a year which
will cause this type of material to form cracks and fail.

Modified bitumen – heat welded, asphalt adhered or installed with
adhesive. Asphalt is mixed with polymers such as APP or SBS, then
applied to fiberglass and/or polyester mat, seams sealed by locally
melting the asphalt with heat, hot mopping of asphalt, or adhesive.
Lends itself well to all applications.

Remodeling Project And Roofing
Metal roofing is ordered per each piece, whether it is in sheet form,
trim or ridge material. When properly estimated there is very little
waste material in a new project. Sheets can be ordered and cut to exact
lengths, allowing for less on the job fabricating.

On site roll forming of coil metal into Standing Seam panels is
the most “Green” product available today. This is due to shipping
savings of a single coil or two as compared to shipping of a whole
truck load of preformed panels.

Roofing And Remodeling Project Inc Home Roof Surface

A roof's surface is the area on which all the roofing material
sits. Roofing surfaces can be made of a variety of materials. The most
common material in the U.S. is plywood with a covering of sheathing,
felt, and roofing shingles.

Shingles

About 80% of homes in the U.S. have asphalt-shingle roofs. These
are constructed of 12 x 36 inch sections that look like individual
shingles when installed.

Soffits

Soffits are vents under the roof overhang that allow your attic to breathe.

Water Diverter

Similar to gutters, a water diverter is a piece of metal that helps control the flow of water as it drains from the roof.

Roof Pitch and Slope

Roof pitch and roof slope are two terms that are often used
interchangeably, but they actually mean different things. Slope is
described in inches of vertical rise per foot of horizontal run. For
example, a gently sloped roof that rises 4 inches for every 12 inches
of house covering is said to have a 4-in-12 slope. Roof pitch is
expressed as a fraction, the ratio of rise to the total span of the
entire roof. The same gentle 4-in-12 slope translates into a 1:6 pitch.
