Replacing my Ann Arbor Roof, Finally!
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.
