Get on your roof once in awhile....
When we bought my dad's old house in Sebring, we were told that we would need a new roof in a couple of years. That was 18 months ago.
On a whim, I decided to go up and take a look and clean it up, remove leaves, from the gutters, etc... Wow! The old roof was literally peeling in certains spots, lots of bubbles, etc.... I found a guy who removed 4 layers of old roofing material and installed a burn down roof for 4500.00 Most of the original tongue in groove planks from 1926 were still in great shape, with the exception of 3 or 4 which he replaced. Had I not been nosy, it would have really caused some major damage when the summer rains hit. Anyone have any experience with a burn down roof?

I've installed a couple. Put one on the back part of my house in 1990, the first one I ever did. Still holding up fine. I had to seal up about a foot of one seam that came apart. Just used a propane plumbing torch. Had to reseal the edges with roofing cement a couple of times. Very happy with it (the roof has less than a 1 in 12 pitch) and would do it again. Very easy for the do it yourselfer to install. Much easier than hot tar.
