1The Lake San Marcos Job, Start to Finish

Photographs are taken at each stage on Lake San Marcos jobs so the owner sees what was covered up. As a rule, edge metal on a Lake San Marcos roof covering goes under the underlayment at the eave and over it at the rake. In practice, dry-in happens before the crew leaves a Lake San Marcos site, every day, without exception.

Insulation upgrades on a Lake San Marcos re-roof are cheapest while the deck is open. Ventilation on a Lake San Marcos roof covering affects covering life as much as the covering itself does.
