@@sorinmoraru8310 there are a lot factors that go into building a roof system, mainly zone and interior climate. In this case in the zone we are in, it was not needed and we have to go by the manufacturers guidelines to receive the NDL (labor and material) warranty from the manufacturer. In a cooler region with the same system, it might have been required.

I'm sure you can, if you're needing 2 layers of drywall.

Yes the TPO cap sheet will go over the top of the parapet wall then capped off with metal coping

Whether large or small, we use tapered insulation to create slope.

The greatest value in all of roofing is a 40yr class III shingle that's cheap, attractive and virtually indestructible from hail damage. Malarkey Vista to me is the best value dollar for dollar

It's an easy way to keep all joints throughout the system top and bottom about 2'away from each other

how do you figure that what about the ends of the rows

LOL, that's one opinion. After the Lakewood storm that smashed all the "real" slate, but did not damage any of the DaVinci... Im not convinced that natural slate is worth the investment vs DaVinci

Cortland Fossil Creek. *I do not endorse them in any way, just showing our work on that property.

Sorry for the late response. Around $8 nowadays

On flat roofs, we typically apply TPO or Modified Bitumen,. That area did not have enough pitch to apply a roof with seams in it that rely on gravity to keep water from flooding up to the height of the seam. Sorry I just saw your comment and am just now replying to it.

@@360Innovations it's really not that hard to add pitch to a flat roof with a little bit of insulation or furring and create a quarter 12 pitch and put a low pitch metal roof down. It's just about being able to sell it to the customer. And convincing them to invest the extra money for the for the metal. I can put metal on ANYTHING!

@@traceyjscott069 well, they were over their original budget going with metal instead of shingles in the first place. Also there was a drain on the flat roof they would have to cancel and then reroute once that was not needed and just more expense they didn't want to deal with. But it all worked out. Thanks for the idea though. I'll check out your work on your page.

@@360Innovations LOL! Budget? Tell them they need to tap into the slush fund or the reserve funding. You got to go get that money it's out there man.

Not necessary in this case, very little water running from above that point, but still wrapped with ice and water and all these years later I have still never had a complaint or leak on this project. Thanks for the comment.

I can't believe I still don't have a personal page on TH-cam, lol I never thought anyone would ever see this, just wanted to have a way to send it to my mom. LOL

oadams001 labor is twice the cost. Material is a little more than 3 times the cost.

wow was thinking about doing this to my roof since the hail storm...little out of my league...very nice product though...one day.

I've installed this product several times.It is a great product.We did several large projects.The only thing I disagree with in the video is the use of ice guard on the ridges.The ice and water will fail over time.I would recommend aluminum under the caps bent to proper pitch,than installing the hip and ridge caps.Although I know with the beleforte synthetic slate by davinci they make actual caps that are completely closed.I highly recommend this roof for looks and durability.The roof looks great.

Our 1st synthetic slate job was for a city parks project 10yrs ago. Since then we've seen a lot of products come and go. Davinci holds up over time and I cannot recommend it enough. We've even been a part of unbiased engineer testing and the findings were amazing in comparison to other synthetics.

I recently drove by this house, now 8 years later and it still looks brand new, after several hail and wind storms I know of that have hit the area.

LOL
