Walcott sits on Interstate 80 and has more commercial and agricultural roof out of proportion to its size than anywhere else in the county. Metal and low slope membrane matter as much as shingles here.
Houses, Shops and Sheds
A lot of properties in and around Walcott have a house with an asphalt roof and one or more outbuildings with metal. Those are two different jobs and it is useful to price them together, because the mobilization is already paid for.
On outbuildings, exposed fastener metal is usually the right answer and the thing to watch is the washers under the screw heads. They harden and shrink, and around year twenty they are the leak.
What We Get Called For in Walcott
- Exposed fastener metal on shops and outbuildings needing rescrewing
