Yes, but the preferred method is removal. The Uniform Building Code allows two (2) roofs on commercial (flat) buildings and three (3) roofs on residential(steep) buildings. Removal allows for inspection of the substrate, and the elimination of any wet, rough, and/or unstable existing materials.

Because tile is a unique product, it takes a craftsman to install a tile roof properly. Professional roofing contractors install over 96% of all tile roofs. A handy person may be able to lay field tile without much trouble, but installing underlayment, battens, flashings for valleys, chimneys, solar panels and skylights and cutting the tiles along hips and valleys are more complicated tasks. We recommend using an installation professional to properly install your tile roof.

The difference is in the following in no particular order of importance: redundancy, provider, wireless equipment, policy, tech support, network management and reporting. Back in the day we had one of everything and if it failed we had to drive/climb to the point of failure and fix it or lose customers. Now we have almost two of everything. It's not as expensive as it sounds and takes a huge load off of us in terms of response times. It also appears to the customer that no downtime ever happens.

The optimum time to install a roof is when the temperatures are above freezing and the wind and rain are at the lowest intensity and frequency. This allows the roofer the best conditions for installation, with the fewest interruptions and lowest risk of leaking. Unless you are very fortunate, sometimes you cannot schedule the roofing work during these periods, and you may need to install the roof in cold temperatures, or in the rainy season.

When installing guys on a roof or any wood covered surface, you MUST catch a rafter!!! If you don't, you will be fixing it and using your insurance to fix a ceiling! bull;When installing any eye hook in ANY roof, it MUST be in a rafter! If you can not hook a rafter then you have to cut a 2x4 and nail (screw is better) it in place between the 2 rafters so you have a solid place to screw the eye hook into! (if you are in a high wind zone, make sure the rafter you are hooked to has a "hurricane str.

The attic fan should be centrally located. The fan should be mounted at the rear part of your roof. The hole should be 24 inches down from the peak of your roof.

We include installation guidelines with each order, but metalwork and roofing installation experience are a must to achieve the protection your home deserves. We suggest hiring an experienced roofing crew locally, or you can hire an expert Summit Roofing crew.

In May 2001, the FCC made a ruling that now allows any subscriber to install a dish antenna for Internet Service on leased, rented or owned property regardless of any existing rules by management associations or local law. Common areas such as tenant building roof space are not included. Therefore building management approval is needed for roof access. In most cases, it will be approved for tenants. In many cases agreements are made to service the entire building.

One of the benefits of steel roofing is that is lightweight, which allows it to be installed over existing roofing material. Local building codes and your roofs substructure integrity must be addressed to reveal this answer.

Yes, the VG Shark Fin Antenna is secured firmly with 3M automotive adhesive and will withstand both soft cloth as well as touchless car washes.

It depends on the type and size of the greenroof. Most homeowners could check a flat or low pitch greenroof. A roofing professional should if it is too large or intensive – you can include a maintenance agreement of at least twice per year with the greenroof contractor/greenroof company. Or you can work out an arrangement with the roof maintenance staff of your building.

That's almost a judgement call on your part. If you live in a hot climate, the roof would be better. If you live in a cold climate, the attic floor would be better. But there are a couple of factors to consider. If you install No-Tear on the roof, you also need to cover the gable ends (that's the part that looks like a big triangle). If you live in a cold climate, installing it on the attic floor will also reduce winter heat loss (see "What if I can't get the best air gap?").

For whatever reason, people want to install as close to the roof as possible. And while this will work (see "What if I can't get the best air gap?" for a great explanation of why), the installation will work better if there is that crucial 1" air gap between the roof and the No-Tear. Install No-Tear directly underneath the rafters, running them ACROSS the rafters, instead of with them (up and down). This will save you a lot of time with cutting and stapling.

Common areas such as tenant building roof space are not included in the FCC laws discussed in the prior answer. Therefore building management approval is needed for roof access. In some cases, it will be approved for tenants. However, in many cases management agreements are made with Wireless service providers like Sierra Advantage to service the entire building.
