Tipton is a county seat, which means a courthouse square, a ring of commercial buildings around it and older residential streets behind. The median house here was built in the 1950s and a lot of it is older.
Square Buildings, Flat Roofs
The buildings around a courthouse square are almost all low slope behind a parapet. They tend to have long patch histories and they reward a proper membrane rather than another layer of repair.
On the residential streets the work is ordinary asphalt replacement with the usual old house allowances for decking.
What We Get Called For in Tipton
- Low slope commercial work around the square
- Old house replacements with deck repair expected
