Work on a Forest Hill roof covering starts with protection — ground cover, gutter guards and a plan for where the debris goes. Edge metal on a Forest Hill roof goes under the underlayment at the eave and over it at the rake. Photographs are taken at each stage on Forest Hill jobs so the homeowner sees what was covered up.
The Forest Hill crew walks the finished roof with the homeowner, which is the right time to raise anything that looks off. Inspection sign-off closes a permitted Forest Hill job; the paperwork goes to the owner. On most jobs, flashing at every penetration is replaced rather than reused on a Forest Hill roof, because reused flashing is where the next leak starts.
2Specifying a Forest Hill Roof
Material choice on a Forest Hill roof should follow pitch and exposure first, and appearance second. Synthetic slate suits Forest Hill framing that cannot carry the real thing. Reflective coverings lower attic temperature measurably on a Forest Hill property and ease the cooling load. Single-ply on a Forest Hill commercial roof lives or dies on its seams and terminations.
Insulation upgrades on a Forest Hill re-roof are cheapest while the deck is open. Underlayment is the waterproofing on a Forest Hill tile roof covering, and it is the part with the shorter clock. Gutter capacity on a Forest Hill property should match the roof covering area feeding it.
