flat gravel roof - how to repair
Hello, I have an existing gravel roof that I want to repair. There is
a big area that is flat. I just got a quote from a roofer to repair the whole roof where he would lay two coats of fiberglass membrane with hot tar and then a granule surfaced roofing sheet to protect the roof. He would guarantee this job for 10 years. My question is if instead of doing that, I can just remove all the gravel myself (since it is VERY loose) and then just coat the entire roof with one of those elastomeric roof coatings like this one: http://www.koolseal.com And not worry about the roof for a good 10 years. Does anyone have any suggestions if this would be a good idea? Or if I was to hire a roofing contractor, what would be the best choice to repair and roof that has a big area that is flat? Thanks before hand, Adiel |

flat gravel roof - how to repair
Thanks for your reply. I actually got a comment from someone who
talked to a local roof inspector. They said that even though these new rubber roofs are guaranteed for up to 20 years, he says that in his opinion a tar roof that is well built will last longer than the new rubber roofs. Any comments on this anyone? Thanks, Adiel |

Any comments on this anyone? Also does anyone have other
recommendations for fixing a flat roof (besides a new pitched roof because its out of my budget)? Thanks, Adiel |
