My neighbor installed her metal roofing on her new garage, 10′ from my house, using strapping that was nailed to the roof rafters with no plywood backer. Now the temperature changes make the stuff pop when the temperature increases or decreases and I get to listen to that. It sounds like somebody is remotely locking and unlocking a car door and louder! What can I do about it?
When roofing a garage, does it matter which way the new boards go?
Our garage roof had a lot of water damage so we have to replace the old boards. Does it matter which side of the plywood goes up – smooth or rough side? Any re-roofing tips would be appreciated, it’s the first time doing it ourself.
