Tesla Motors Club

The roofing sub tore off the roof at the end of last week, put on the new decking over the skip sheathing, and then the last 2 days have been finishing the decking, fixing some dry rot, and then underlayment & flashing. I think the roof prep will extend another day.

Was originally getting the Firestone underlayment (2 pallets were in the driveway), but they showed up with Colbalt yesterday. It's got a denim-like texture to it...definitely see why installers would like that over the smooth (aka slippery) Firestone.

I have old white 4" K style gutters, and wasn't planning on replacing them, but since these existing gutters mount to the roof deck, and Tesla adds their own metal that wraps around the base of the deck to the fascia to facilitate proper drainage, new gutters are in order. Also it was explained that water will come off the solar roof much quicker, so seemed like getting deeper gutters was the way to go to prevent any overflowing.

We're gonna go for new, and taller, black facia-style gutters that will pretty much cover up the facia board, whereas the existing one only covered up about half of it. Would have never considered black gutters, but I think it will look nice with the all black roof.
