A small town with two roof stocks
Downtown Abita is cottages. The roads out of town are where owners already have metal and where a metal porch on an asphalt house is normal. We do not convert every cottage to standing seam. We also do not tell a metal house to become shingles because that is what we stock in New Orleans.
Pine straw in a valley will stain a ceiling before the field of the roof looks failed. We clear the valley and then decide if it is a repair.
