How often do you climb onto roofs in the summertime.

Personally, I inspect every roof covering except Clay Tiles and extreme pitches from the roof top, summer or no summer.

Oh...and there is pretty good money just doing Roof Inspections themselves also....

I don't live in Ohio, but snow on the roof in the summertime is a pretty rare thing in Missouri.

You'll notice Dale said "summer or no summer" in his post.

No walking on roofs for me. Too much liability for me, and the roof. Hot or cold, no walking on roofs.
