Two layer terror

Grumpy

Sure, but who in their right mind does insurance work? I'm getting sick of the ammount of insurance work being discussed in the roofing forums over the last few months. Don't peope know how to make an HONEST buck anymore?

Hey Grumpy you don't get storms in Chicago????? LOL I deal with Insurance co's all the time and do work for individuals as well. The worst I saw was a roof that the Ins co said had 3 layers when in fact it had 6 layers of shingles plus shake. Took 2 30 yd dumpsters full to the top for only 18 sq roof. Oh yeah and we of course had to put up sheething. They didnt' want to pay for that until I argued that we had no nailable surface so they gave in and paid that too.

Ins co's are a pain in the ass you just have to know how to deal with them. Yeah we get lots of hail storms in Iowa and that is a part of our business.

roofing for Jesus

My business is still new. I'll take any work I can get.

2layer or three used to be norm around here now maybe 1 in20 think god for that

Overlay installation were the norm around here very little tearoffs so the layers were up there 3-5 were very comon. I know because after loma prieta earthquake law stated you can only reroof over a existing roof layer if you all ready had two layers a complete tear off was needed. Alot of damage was caused by the houses being top heavy. Now you see them seldom.

It used to be common here to lay decras over old longrun iron. A PITA when you get asked to fix a leak in the roof, leak may be in the ridge but shows at the bottom of a valley in the lower layer, or anywhere else, only way to find is to tear off if the cause isn't obvious.
Will post a pic when I next see one.
