I had a couple of trouble spots on my roof, dead valleys, that made it high maintenance. I had to clean leaves from those cavities every fall and whenever it snowed. I consulted friends familiar with construction, and the consensus was that this was a design flaw. The ideal solution would be to change the roof’s geometry to eliminate the dead valleys.I called five roofing companies. Four suggested covering the trouble spots with a TPO membrane. Besides looking unattractive, that solution didn’t seem right since it didn’t address the root cause. Only Ruben (A+ Roofing) immediately suggested building a cricket after inspecting the roof. That’s why I chose him.My impression is that most roofing companies aren’t comfortable doing anything beyond standard roofing, so they hesitated to propose alternatives to the membrane. Ruben, however, had prior framing experience and was completely comfortable changing the roof’s geometry. I would definitely recommend him, especially if you have a complicated roofing issue.In addition to fixing those two trouble spots, he and his crew replaced the shingles on the entire roof. He also gave me recommendations on which shingles to choose, and I went with Owens Corning Duration. The roof looks beautiful, and now I can enjoy the snow season without having to climb up and clean it.
