Roofing in Rice, WA

Rice is a community in Stevens County, about 52 km from Republic. It is a rural place where the houses are spread across open ground, and a roof there takes the snow and the wind without the shelter of a town. The crew reads each roof against the county rules and records the figures it used.

The visit starts in the attic. Sag, staining, insulation and the condition of the rafter tails are read first, because they show whether the frame has moved under the winter load. The eave and the covering come after, and each reading is written down with its position on the roof.

Because Rice is some distance from the county seat, the crew plans the visit as one trip with the other northern work where possible. The owner receives the expected arrival in writing, and the job is scoped before the work begins.

The Rice record is kept with the house file, and each visit is added to it. A roof checked in one spring and again the next gives the owner a comparison, and the comparison is the clearest measure of whether a sag or a leak is getting worse.

Rice is a place where a long drive makes the first visit count. The crew arrives with the tools for the attic, the eave and the covering, and it plans the visit so the most important readings are taken first. If the weather turns, the attic and the eave are read before the covering, because those are the parts that show the winter's load most clearly.

The Rice owner keeps the record and the scope together. A change to the scope is written, dated and agreed before the work changes, and the final record shows what was done and what was not, so the house file is complete.
