Long Grove is small in population and not small in houses. The stock here skews toward larger modern homes on bigger lots, which means substantial roofs with a lot of surface area.
Square Count Is the Story
On a big modern house the roof is often thirty five squares or more. That makes the choice of material a larger decision than it is on a small house, because every dollar of difference per square is multiplied.
It also makes ventilation more important. A large attic volume with the same small amount of ridge vent is under ventilated in a way that is easy to miss.
What We Get Called For in Long Grove
- Large square count replacements on modern houses
- Ventilation shortfalls on big attic volumes
