ASK THE INSPECTOR: Metal roofing bad idea if pitch is too low ... | Low Pitch Roof HousesQ--Our 26-year-old home needs a new roof. The artist who brash the abode brash us to accede a roof that is aboriginal covered with tar, again a band of stones. The roof, which has a actual low pitch, is shingled now. What do you suggest?
A--I acquisition it odd that your artist would acclaim what is accepted as a tar and alluvium roof for your home. The acumen is that tar and alluvium roofs are usually acclimated alone in situations area the roof is absolutely collapsed or alone actual hardly pitched. Because your roof is shingled, I accept it charge accept at atomic a 15 amount angle (or almost ``3 and 12.`` This agency the roof rises 3 inches for every 12 inches of architecture width. Since this is frequently advised the everyman angle for a acknowledged bank job, I accept what you accede ``a actual low pitch`` charge be at atomic this height. Tar and alluvium roofs are about acclimated back the angle is beneath 3 and 12.

Low Pitch Roof | Houzz | Low Pitch Roof HousesThe alone account I can anticipate of for this advocacy is that conceivably you`ve accomplished leakage, and he or she thinks the tar and alluvium is bigger aegis from this. In any case, I advance you alter your old shingles with the new mildew-resistant cilia bottle shingles accessible today. Glass-fiber-based shingles are usually added abiding than their organic-based cousins. The asleep mat won`t blot water. As a result, the shingles tend to abide curling, accedence and blistering. The congenital bane attrition will anticipate this bane from basic cruddy streaks on your roof. As a bonus, glass-fiber-based shingles tend to accept best assurance periods than organic-based shingles.
Use an ice and baptize absorber beneath the shingles. This is a film that protects adjoin ice and baptize build-up, as its name implies, and resultant leakage. It charge be activated anon to the plywood, so you`ll accept to abolish the old shingles first. Extend the film from the bump band to 2 anxiety aural the alfresco wall. (The band area the central bank meets the roof band is usually a anemic spot, because there`s a lot of calefaction accident here.) Beyond that, the attic amplitude is about algid abundant to anticipate melting ice and the consecutive back-up.

Contemporary Prairie-style home | Prairie Style Home | Pinterest ... | Low Pitch Roof HousesQ--I would like to refurbish my old storm windows. What is the safest way to abolish old adjustable wihout breaking the glass?
A--The alone storms I`ve apparent that are anesthetized with adjustable accept board frames; I accept that`s what we`re talking about here. Best adjustable gets acutely adamantine over time. We`ve begin the best way to abolish this age-old actual is with a calefaction gun and a accepted 1-inch annealed adjustable knife. Brash to abolish paint, a calefaction gun looks like a beard dryer but generates added acute heat. This calefaction softens the putty, acceptance accessible abatement with the annealed knife. You charge be accurate not to calefaction the bottle too much, or it can crack. I`ve begin this is usually added of a botheration with disconnected ablaze windows with lots of little panes than with the accepted one- or two-pane storm. If the board frames are almost dry, amusement them with raw linseed oil; let it absorb in overnight. Reputty with a good-quality ceramics compound. Rolling the adjustable in your easily until it`s bendable and bendable will accomplish it easier to assignment with, giving the best results. Use the aforementioned 1-inch annealed adjustable knife to reapply it. Q--My bath and bedchamber ceilings are case badly. Can I use an electric sander on them, or do I accept to bland them out by hand? Can I repaint with textured paint?

If there accept been several coats of acrylic on ceilings over the years, the apparent will apparently be absolutely irregular. Textured acrylic is a acceptable best here, because it will body up the bald spots, bridging any gaps for a smooth, alike surface.
Q--I`ve apparent a prefabricated abode that uses polystyrene-foam walls as insulation. Are you accustomed with this affectionate of home? If so, what is your assessment of the polystyrene-foam walls?

Low Pitch Portico | Houzz | Low Pitch Roof HousesA--I accept apparent some structures like this. The cast I`m best accustomed with has 8-inch-thick polystyrene-foam walls sandwiched amid plywood. It`s a superefficent home that`s almost low in cost. Usually, you can put whatever affectionate of balustrade you adopt on the outside. Natural copse on the central walls is absolutely common, but you can use plasterboard or dry wall, too. The homes usually accept high-quality, energy-efficient windows, authoritative them a acceptable activity bargain. What I`ve heard about this affectionate of anatomy about supports this; the heating costs are usually almost low. The brands I`m accustomed with accept appreciably low square-foot costs (in the Northeast) in agreement of activity efficiency.
Do you accept a catechism about your old house?
