Roofing Notes

Notes from roofs around Huntsville and Madison County, written for the people who own them. What a split pipe boot looks like from the attic. Why the north slope on a Hampton Cove roof streaks black before the south slope goes bald. What a 1.5 inch hail hit does to an architectural shingle, and what an adjuster counts. How to read a roofing estimate so two bids actually compare.

One article at a time, when there is something worth writing down. No filler, no reposted manufacturer brochures. If a question keeps coming through the form, it will probably show up here. Expect notes on what the spring season did to specific parts of the county, the honest math on a 15 year old roof, and what to ask any roofer before signing.
