On the housing side in Upper Arlington, much of the housing went up in tight build windows and when one roof on a street needs doing, several usually do.
Weather
Roof life in Upper Arlington is shaped by one thing more than any other: the freeze-thaw cycle runs dozens of times between November and March, which is why minor flashing faults here turn into real problems quickly.
What A Cheap Quote Usually Leaves Out
- Ice-and-water shield beyond the bare minimum
- New flashing (old flashing reused instead)
- Starter strip and proper ridge ventilation
- Permit fees and debris disposal
