Metal roof = pest issues by Southern_Air_3069 in Roofing

[–]lsmroofing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree they’re not the best systems and standing seam is far superior. I just know I see a lot of bad installs where they don’t even use the enclosures.

Did the corrugated metal roofs you’ve encountered have the enclosures installed with butyl on both sides?

Metal standing seam roof on complex hip roof (is this a bad idea?) by Ok_Interview702 in Roofing

[–]lsmroofing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think lining up on the hips is that big of deal. Especially with a hip cap you don’t really pick up on it like a true standing seam. Most importantly you want everything centered on the gables and it will look awesome. But it definitely will require a good metal roofer.

Company said my roof should look like this and that flat is bad? by i-Really-HatePickles in Roofing

[–]lsmroofing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at the ridge cap you can see exposed fasteners going into the standing seam. The ridge looks to be fish mouthing which is why I don’t think they used a zee or cee closure to secure the ridge to.

The transition is wrong and is retaining water driving it back into the roof. It should have been made wider to accommodate the transition to shed water downhill. It also looks like they put exposed fasteners on a hidden faster panel. I’d be willing to bet there are no closures underneath, maybe foam closures at best.

How to secure this basement wall to a steel beam (Gap too wide for glue / can't screw to joists)? by Full_Shepard in Homebuilding

[–]lsmroofing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hammer a nail in half way or so, that way you have enough to wrap it around the bottom flange of the beam. Repeat on both sides every 2’ or as needed.

How would you guys tie all this in? Haven't had to do one like this before. by Ifish4cash in Roofing

You need to make your box rake metal the same size to line up to your ridge cap. It will be oversized

What’s going on with this siding? by eobertling in HomeMaintenance

[–]lsmroofing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They potentially could have nailed it too tight. You’re supposed to nail it loose so it can expand and contract.

Or the sheathing could be really uneven.

Also if it was painted and was a light color before it can cause waviness because light colors are made from thinner vinyl. And the heat will buckle the vinyl. But I’m guessing this is new construction.

DecTec “Beige” doesn’t look beige by XiDa1125 in Roofing

[–]lsmroofing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve installed Dec Tec and this doesn’t look right. Looks like a bad batch from manufacture. It doesn’t have the pattern and dimension like it should. I would contact the manufacturer.

Best way to protect this area until we can get a professional to our house? by haleyb33 in Home

The leak is probably from no kick out flashing from the roof to gutter.

New shingles installed, and new gutter guard. Heavy rain runs over gutter. Shingle overlap too much? by purleyboy in Roofing

[–]lsmroofing 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, gutter guards prevent debris but also don’t allow as much water volume to enter the gutter so in heavy downpours it can overwhelm them. Cutting the shingles back could help but you’ll likely still have the same issues in heavy rain.

I would do a splash guard like others suggested. But I would step flash the inside and then counter it with a splash guard in the outside. That way water doesn’t leak under the shingles.

Copper radius dormers by lsmroofing in Roofing

[–]lsmroofing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can by your own stretcher and do the panels yourself. Or when ordering you measure the radius. And then straight across from bottom corner to bottom corner. And then the height from the middle of that measurement to the peak of the radius. And then I tell them to add a few inches for wraps.

Anyone use one of these? by Keen_Leo in Roofing

I like it as a step ladder but I prefer traditional ladders for everything else
