- My Manchester home is a century old — what does that mean for the roof?
- Usually three things. First, there may be multiple old shingle layers up there, and NH code limits how many a roof can carry — so a full tear-off isn’t optional, it’s required and it’s the only way we work anyway. Second, the original board decking under everything sometimes has soft spots; we inspect it after tear-off and photograph anything that needs replacing before we cover it. Third, old chimneys and wall intersections need their flashing rebuilt, not caulked over. None of this is exotic — it’s just done right or done over.
- How do you manage a roofing job on a tight city lot?
- Carefully and quickly. Manchester’s West Side and North End lots don’t leave much staging room, so we plan material delivery and debris containment before the job starts, protect the driveway and plantings, and coordinate with you on parking. The magnetic nail sweep at the end covers your yard, the sidewalk, and the neighbor’s edge of things too — dropped nails don’t care about property lines, and neither does our cleanup.
