Here From Florida


Hey guys & gals,
Just joined up so I thought I'd do an introduction.
I run a small roofing outfit in Florida (Central, East coast), been in business about 17 years, started out as a carpenter almost 30 years ago.
Guess that about sums it up.
T.C.

Re: Here From Florida


Thanks Dave.
Am I correct in assuming that you've done roofing in the UK as well as here?
I'd be interested to know the differences & similarities.

Hi TC, only ever visted the States once a couple of years ago(New York)
I am i roofer here in the U.K. i would say the differences are we tend to use concrete tiles and natural stales on are roofs where your main product is 3 tab shingles, shingles are used over here but its pretty rare to come accross them.
Flat roofs tend to be the same(they leak lol) we use torch on bitumin felt, also use EPDM(rubber) and gpr fiberglass which are similar to which you use in the U.S.
Our goal is the same though, keep the roof water tight!
Regards
Dave
