Biggest new construction job this year

The good news; I got over $2,000 per square.

The bad news; It's only a square and a half.

It's that little roof jutting out in the back. The afternoon sun reflecting off the new copper ruined all my better angle pics.

This was a gut-to-the-studs remodel and I also did about $12,000 worth of repairs on the house last year.

Sorry about no picture showing, this site has turned on me.

Nice little job there woody. ;)

I have tile roofs at 9,000' - heavy snow country - Tile on batten boards only. Very similar to the way it's done across the pond & down-under - No underlayment - no sheathing - never a leak. ;)

Agreed, Tom. My emphasis on the underlayment goes back to starting out in snow country with a fairly loose fitting tile. I also believe as long as you are using an underlayment, you seal any holes in it as you cover it, and facilitate drainage (elevated battens, antiponding, etc.) of the underlayment as a system. But I also use a system to keep water from ever getting to the underlayment, things like step flashing instead of J channel and 6v valley metal.

Vaa- I know we've had these discussions in yrs past.....Over here, (U.S.), concerning tile roof assemblies, more emphasis is put towards the underlayment, rather than the primary roof system itself, (the tile & appropriate flashing/weatherproofing of)....Wywoody knows what I'm talk'n bout.

Mike H, I didn't do the gutters, but the copper drip edge and wall flashing cost me just under $300, underlayment and tile costs were just under $400 and I put in two 4 hour days.

Mike NZ, around here a ridge tape is used to seal the tile to the hip/ridge nailer. The deck was done between last Fall when I did the repair work on the house and when they put in the little storage shed. The deck tile was already installed over it. It's over an indoor pool so it had better have waterproofing of some sort on both sides.

$3K for what I see in the pic sounds might cheap

Thats awesome. Sometimes I wish I lived in an area where people wanted the best roof.

The other day I patched a roof that a tree fell on. They lady described her roof as a 3 year old roof that was put on by a respectable outfit, and referred to it as an "industrial strength shingle"

It was 25yr 3-tab.

Thanks for the offer Ddubya, I didn't have time to sort it out this morning. When I try to post an image, the brackets with the "img" show up randomly in the text instead of where they are supposed to be. I eventually can move things around and get it to post, just not when I have a couple of guys waiting for me in the morning.

If you email it to me ill throw it on my hosted site.
