put up any protection to your house if need and access the area . Then the
scaffolding shall be put up for it to be easy to get to your roof. After
we shall be moving all materials up to roof so makes less mess and keeps it

Not sure what you meant regarding the last point on material defects. Tiles are made out of concrete, cement is a binder that is used in concret.concrete tiles are subjected to extreme cold and hot weather which slowly weakens them causing them to break. The rest of the blog is fine but please read through for grammer. Well done explains what you would do to repair a nail fatigue roof.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! This will be a very helpful information to those who want to fix their house roofing themselves. I agree with the list of your common roofing defects. These issues can actually be prevented, or at least prevent it from happening too soon, by doing a regular inspection and maintenance. Thank you for sharing this information!
