wind mit overhang

However, your wood arbor example is not permanent roofing over a portion of the inspected property, but over a secondary structure. As such, “your” wood arbor would not effect your wind mitigation.[/FONT]

Just for the record, jay, you just agreed with me.

Let me reword my original quote in a general way, so there can be no interpretations…

If you have a flat roof, get on your ladder and look at where it meets the main roof ( regardless of the main roof material, or the material on the flat roof). Can you see a clear division of the two? There should be a drip edge visible between them.

1. Yes, there is a clear division and the flat roof is over a screened or open porch or a carport = true fascia mount = does not count on the OIR.

2. No, there is no division and the main roof material ( doesn’t matter what that material is) overlaps the flat roof material ( doesn’t matter what the material is) = structural flat roof = counts as roof covering and roof shape on the OIR.

3. There is a clear division between the flat area and the main roof, but the flat roof is over enclosed living space = structural flat roof = counts as roof covering and shape on the OIR.

I hope I cleared that up for you.

I would have to agree

Trisha, why don’t you just keep trying. Eventually you will figure it all out.

In the mean time, be careful what you write. Many of your earlier statements were incorrect & misleading.

For the record, I never disagreed with your conclusion. I disagreed with some of the statements you made in getting there.

If, however, that flat roof has any material from the main roof covering that division (the drip edge) and/or tied into the main structure in any way (trusses, etc), then it is now considered structural and should be included in both areas of the OIR.

There, I removed the words “shingle or tile” and replaced them with “any material” and then added “(the drip edge)”. I’m sorry if you’re unable to get general concepts Jay. I hope that helps. Your constant attacks are exactly what I mean when I say this is an unwelcoming board.

Keep going Trisha. Even a broken watch is right at least once a day.:mrgreen:

Why would you even stay if in fact it’s so unwelcoming?

Trisha,
This board isn’t “unwelcoming” as you put it. There are some things that you have posted that are inaccurate.

Is this considered a hip or other??

@Trisha_Bowley

Do what you feel is right, but you should also then count the roof covering on their shed, too. With true fascia-mounted roofs (usually metal or membrane, clearly separated from the main roof at the drip edge), these are not insured, will have no effect on the main structure if they are ripped off, and should not be counted. If, however, that flat roof has any material from the main roof covering that division (the drip edge) and/or tied into the main structure in any way (trusses, etc), then it is now considered structural and should be included in both areas of the OIR.

How about this one???
