Downtown is not Highway 21
A downtown Covington cottage can sit in a historic district. The roof that faces the street may need to stay consistent with the district. We look that up for the address. We do not order a modern shingle for a designated elevation and sort it out later.
North of town the roofs are newer and larger. Hail is the storm people call about. We look for mat bruises across the field. A pine-straw valley is a maintenance problem until the metal underneath has failed.
