I need to replace a carport roof. It has one layer of ordinary asphalt shingles over tarpaper on 1/2" plywood (where they are not blown off). It has a pretty shallow pitch, but the old roof did not leak until it got quite bad. I live in a very VERY windy area. 70+mph winds happen several times a year.
We are hoping that there is a way to reroof without paying a lot. We are too old to do it ourselves. Anyone have any ideas on how to perhaps save on either materials or labor? Thank you! |

| There are high wind specs, as well as low roof pitch specs available from mfg. web sites and your local roofing contractor will know these as well. |
