Do I need to replace a cracked roof tile right away?

Posted by admin in Tile roofing on 10 22nd, 2009

How necessary is it to replace cracked roof tiles (spanish style)? We just bought a house that has a few cracked roof tiles and I want to know if I should do this right away.

Nah, just ignore. It might leak a little but sooner or later the framing will rot & collapse & you won’t notice those little cracks at all. ♠

Installing a metal roof…gable flashing meets eave trim?

Posted by admin in Metal roofing materials on 10 15th, 2009

The material I got this past week did not come with adequate instructions. I’m looking for a picture where the gable flashing meets the eave trim and drip edge.

From this pdf it’s combining figure 8 and figure 10.

But from what I’m trying to figure out is there still a gap on the top interior side of the gable flashing or is there something I can do to keep the edges very tight.

Real life picture would be awesome

use the butal tape as shown per diagram

My wife wants metal and I want black paper,tar and stone. You DIYers out there and roofers. We are talking 11×25 and 11×45. Tell me what you would charge me for labor and materials. Lots of answers please.

Spend the money and put a truss roof on it with normal pitch.
New roofing will then last longer and you have less chance of leaks.
Then you can use metal on it.

He’s either chatting with me or looking out the window to see if his friends are coming to pick him up to play football.
Does anyone know?
