Crazy huh?....damn crap they toss together, unreal---

That roof should of lasted at least 7 years before it needed to be sealed with a reflective roof coating (in AZ anyway)....just lasted a year beyond the builders warranty....I have no idea who did all the butcher-patching-------

Well the buyer certainly saved the cost of the inspection in roof repairs alone, so he is happy----

Was going to tell you to let the Mexicans down at Home Depot that spackle goes on walls and ceilings...NOT on the roof.

You would think that someone could have come up with a decent way to cover flat roofs, that will last at least 20 years. I guess they don't make money like that. Personally, I would never build anything with a flat roof to start with. Dale, you could be a Billionaire, here in Atlanta, with the heat and all of the rain we get.

On the 'newer' addition the ballast was so thick someone may suffocate like in quicksand.

Wow..I have never seen a roof here with stone ballast like that---

The rocks would be so hot from the sun the tar would liquefy----

Leaking already my friend after six months. Since the building is near O'hare, they may want to use this roof as a runaway plane ramp like a runaway truck ramp in the mountains.

How thick is that $hit Erol?

I have never see anything like it in these parts-----

I could imagine beginning to look for a leak....Krist...just get rid of the river bed and install TPO or something-----
