The origin of 4u roofing.
Roofing felt has been rained on for 4 days.
Robert harris 4u roofing founder and owner has been on a lot of roofs and not just with his own business.
But when they were installing the asphalt shingles yesterday it started to rain.
My contractor put all of the roofing felt on couple of days ago.
It is best to avoid rainy day installations.
Shingle mate is a very good product that is more than sufficient for most sloped roof applications.
If your roofing contractor suspects a storm is approaching expect a call postponing the project until the weather has passed.
Certainly it would have been better to have covered the roof with a tarp or roofing felt before it rained.
If your roofing company uses only inorganic roof deck protection and installs it correctly you won t have a problem with rippling.
Our osb is rated exposure 1 and that means that it will withstand normal delays in construction.
Harris started out as an insurance adjuster and recalls countless claims from homeowners with interior ceiling damage but no sudden and accidental roof damage to reference in filing the claim.
Right now i have two concerns.
Osb like all other wood will expand.
Will the trapped moisture below the shingles be ok.
Roofing felt that has gotten wet can be covered with shingles as long as it is allowed to dry out first the surface underneath did not get wet and it did not wrinkle bubble or rip.
There are several good inorganic deck protections on the market ranging in price.
Delaying a repair a few days for foul weather to pass is well worth the wait.
