Yes I have several problems with a metal roof that we had installed last spring. There was no purlins layed down or felt paper between the metal and the existing shingles. I have severe ice build up and leaks as well as rust running down my siding.The contractor that did my roof last spring removed our i think they are called turbin vents..the spiinning ones he did not add any other ventalation, though our contract said he would be venting the roof and adding vented ridge vent. We have just found out it is not vented. Another issue that has been raised from contracors that have come to look at our problem is that there was no buytl tape used anywhere, valleys etc. Can some one please tell my how important the purlins, buytl tape, vent ridge etc. are. We have tried to talk with the original contractor but he just keeps hanging up on us. Thank You. Ps. I have several photos of our roof @ flickr.com you can search my photos under currier68 Any advice or imput is appreciated. I can also be emailed at [email protected]
