All about elastomeric roof coating

Overview of the roof renovation

you will notice gutter damage - when they are torn by snow sliding off the roof, or you see icicles hanging on the connections in the winter - they show leakages at the junction of the gutters;
you will notice all kinds of discoloration or dirt on the cover;
You will see deflection, cracking, twisting of wooden elements of roof truss during a visit to the attic. Such damage can also be noticeable from the cover side - when you see the places where the roof collapses.
The roofer will help check the condition of flashings. It will examine the tightness of the ventilation space under the cover and help locate the leak more accurately. The constructor will catch all the shortcomings of the truss and issue a construction opinion. It will assess whether the old truss still retains its load capacity and whether it will support a new cover, for example of a more substantial weight.
