Gentlemen,
This is great info. I’ve reached out to the roofer for updated bid and Kay Tatum about the cresting.
Will keep you posted.
Cheers,
Thom

Good afternoon Thom and Brian,
I had to go back through our email discussions about the quote and such from June of last year in my
emails to refresh my memory about the specifics of your roofing project. Is the storm damage to the
roof cresting in the embedded image more recent than the storm where you lost the big tree out front
in 2016? I took the attached photo on June 22nd that year. As I recall, the big storm that took out the
big tree in front came about a week later, as I remember being hunkered down in my house while the
tornado sirens were blaring away as it went along the I-630 corridor pretty close to my house too. I
concur with Brian’s statement about keeping the original cresting and reusing it, and only replicating
pieces that are too damaged or deteriorated to repair.
I looked at the Grand Manor shingles on the CertainTeed website and the texture and design will
complement the fish scale and diamond shaped shingles on the walls of the house quite nicely. On the
estimate Jared prepared, the 4th bullet point about inspecting the sidewall and headwall flashings and
repair/replace as needed doesn’t have a metal type specified. Thom, I saw in your email to Brian that
the house has copper flashings now (durable and long lived) but the metal type isn’t specified on the
estimate for any replacement pieces needed. I would ask your roofer to articulate copper on that on the
estimate. Also with aluminum flashings for the plumbing vent stacks involved, I would also ask about the
fastener types they plan to use. Aluminum fasteners should be used on the plumbing vent stack
flashings, and on the copper flashings, copper, brass or stainless steel fasteners should be used to avoid
galvanic corrosion. Galvanized steel fasteners will corrode with copper flashings so be sure to ask your
roofer about the fastener type they plan to use. I also concur with Brian’s request to see the aluminum
drip edge match either the shingles or the fascia, depending on how it is mounted.
I hope you find my comments helpful.
Cheers,
Paul

Brian,
Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll work on the website, and we’re supposed to use the old copper
flashing with some new if needed.
The storm where the tree fell destroyed all the cresting on the upper portion (picture attached)

Mr. Degraff,
We may be able to do this with a COC Certificate of Compliance (staff approval). I read
over the roofing estimate and there are things that need to be discussed. One is the
prefinished drip edge. This cannot be shiny aluminum. It needs to be of a color that
blends with the shingles or blends with the painted fascia. I need a website or be shown
a sample of the shingle roofing style. The second is what you call ridge toppers, we call
cresting. That cannot be changed or removed. It can be reproduced if it is proven to be
deteriorated to a point that it cannot be restored. See photo below.

On the painting, brick that has never been painted cannot be painted. Basic painting
can be done with a COC.

You need to touch base with Paul Porter, he coordinates the easements. You have an
easement on your house. Tom Marr is the tax credit person. For ease of flow, get Paul
Porter’s sign off first, me second , and then Tom’s. I have included Paul Porter on this
email.

Aloha Brian,
I have been working with the historic tax credit folks and will be submitting a 2yr
plan by the end of the month.
From what I can tell the Roof (attached) and Exterior paint will be the most likely
to need MacArthur historic district review.
I’m working on possibly changing the ridge toppers, but haven’t received the
quote yet. If the price is right we’d like to do it. If not, we’ll repaint the old ones.
Please LMK if you need anything else on my end.
V/R,
Thom

Jared,
Attached is the quote we need updated.
I was able to count the ridge toppers, I just need to know the length
of ridge toppers needed for the fabrication of new ones (or a ball
