Deep dive: Urban roof performance

Drainage is critical in dense areas, so we fine-tune gutters, scuppers, and downspouts, adding tapered insulation on flats to prevent ponding.

Metal roofs get high-temp underlayments, clip spacing for thermal movement, and hemmed edges that keep wind-driven rain out.

We also protect masonry walls with counterflashing and ensure sealants are compatible with the materials they touch.
