Older SouthPark and Myers Park homes can bring steep pitches, dormers and layered roofing. What Charlotte owners should know before they replace the roof.
Some homes in SouthPark and Myers Park have rooflines with character: steep slopes, dormers, valleys and chimneys. Those details look good from the street and also shape how a roof replacement is planned.
A steeper roof needs more safety setup and careful staging of materials. That affects the schedule, so ask any contractor how they plan the work on your particular slope.
Every place where two roof planes meet, or where a wall or chimney rises through the roof, needs flashing. On a roof with many of these, flashing is a large part of the job. A good proposal names how each one will be handled.
On an older home, there may be more than one layer of roofing, or roof boards instead of sheet decking. Nobody can be certain until the old roof comes off. A clear proposal explains how hidden conditions are handled if they turn up.
Many owners want a shingle color and profile that suits the age and style of the home. Ask to see samples on site, in daylight, against your brick or siding.
