Number of layers on roof
|
|
|
| Does anyone know what the maximum number of layers on a roof is in NY
(Long Island)?
Is there a code for this and if so where could I find it?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

The Residential Building Code of New York State permits a maximum of two
layers of roof shingles.

Maximum allowable used to be three layers, now it's two layers maximum.
Maximum personally witnessed layers was four.

| I knew of one house that had five. Big old house had overhangs I
was working on that were 25' off the ground. Three inch roofing
nails, I had never seen roofing nails that long before.
An aside. There was a gutter guy applying standard gutter on the
fascia. I had bridged over the built in gutter that was leaking.
Anyway this was a 12-12 pitch roof, way the hell up in the air and
he walked on the roof applying the gutter. The shingles were sort
of springy,being so many layers. He would actually walk to the
edge and standing up straight legged, bend over the edge and nail
the gutter that he was balancing. I have never seen anything like
that before or since.

| Make that about 35' high. I remember using 40' extension ladders
stretched almost out and I was using ladder jacks and 2 x 10
planks to walk on. (Nervously) I was working alone and I can't
remember for the life of me how I got those planks across those
ladder jacks. I must have man handled them as I was a lot younger
then and stupider too.
