Roofs are funny. Not in a haha way – more like, “wow, I completely forgot that thing existed until water started coming through the ceiling.” For a part of the building that literally covers everything else, it gets ignored a lot. Probably too much....
How Roof Flashing & Siding Prevent Long-Term Flat Roof Damage
