Roof Repair Ann Arbor


Replacing my Ann Arbor Roof, Finally!

Posted in General by admin on the October 14th, 2010

I just discussed with my wife – over the last 24 years we’ve owned nine different Ann Arbor homes, and we’ve never had to replace a roof before.

It doesn’t happen that often but it is a big expense.

And now we are ready. Here are the particulars:

  • The home is a 1966 ranch home with an attached garage.
  • Walk out back yard. (Two stories back there)
  • About 3,100 total square feet of roof.
  • The roof is 5/12 pitch
  • Soffit is already fully vented. The current can vents will be changed to a continuous ridge vent. Either Shingle Vent II or Snow Country or equivalent.
  • The roof isn’t leaking currently, but there are probably some sheathing boards that will need to be replaced.
  • Two layers of shingles to remove
  • There are two noticeable sags that need to be adjusted where there are inside walls.
  • There are no valleys. Just one 20′ length that needs to be flashed.
  • The two gable vents need to be closed.
  • The two bathroom vents need to exit out the roof with dedicated bath vents.

We’ll be making a decision in the next few days I hope.
