ANN ARBOR ROOFING

This week the new oak kitchen floor went in.

Next week the kitchen cabinets are going in.

The kitchen remodel  will probably be finished (or close to it) by the end of the month.

That means that we need to decide on a roofer and a roof.

We are currently thinking about a “50 Year” rated shingle from Owens Corning, Tamko, Certianteed or GAF/Elk.

We also want to choose a roofer who will do a quality installation. That means installing the materials to the manufacturer’s specifications and to the building code requirements.

In my professional life I’ve seen hundreds of roofs installed improperly.

If you are a  Ann Arbor area roofer and you might be interested in this job here are some notes on the house:

• The home is a 1966 ranch home with an attached garage.
• Walk out back yard. (Two stories back there)
• About 3,100 total square feet of roof.
• The roof is 5/12 pitch
• Soffit is already fully vented. The current can vents will be changed to a continuous ridge vent. Either Shingle Vent II or Snow Country or equivalent.
• The roof isn’t leaking currently, but there are probably some sheathing boards that will need to be replaced.
• Two layers of shingles to remove
• There are two noticeable sags that need to be adjusted where there are inside walls.
• There are no valleys. Just one 20′ length that needs to be flashed.
• The two gable vents need to be closed.
• The two bathroom vents need to exit out the roof with dedicated bath vents.
