Zero Lot Line Roofs

Most of the new construction for the zero lot line buildings is completed together. If the roof is installed separately, then the neighbor and the home owner association must be notified of the planned work. If the roof installation requires access to the other property, it is better to seek all approval first. Roofers sometimes require to erect scaffolding in the neighbor's lot to install the roof. In most cases, if the building is on the lot line, there would no eaves to that side. Pointing gutters to the front and not to the neighbor's lot is a common practice for zero lot line roofs.

Labor and material must be planned ahead of the day of the roof installation. Weather plays an important role during roof installation. Any precipitation or high winds may obstruct the work and destroy the material. Roof starters, fascia, soffitt, gutters, sheathing, storm and ice protectors, shingles, and so on must be installed as per the specifications. Any vents, chimneys, skylights, flashings, and so on must be set up to be compatible with the zero lot line roof. After the installation is finished, complete clean up must be done including the adjacent lot.

Zero lot line roofs require regular maintenance such as inspection, clearing debris, checking for infestation, replacing missing/curled/streaked shingles, checking for moss growth, and so on. Since the roofs are quite close to the next building, any cleaning or maintenance must be informed to the adjacent building owner. Here are some best practices to maintain zero lot line roofs.

• Roof inspection is recommended every fall and spring
• Gutters must be cleaned and downspout alignment must be checked frequently
• Roof must be cleared off debris and any leaves
• Any missing shingles must be replaced before the deck is further damaged
• Roof leaks must be fixed and any interior water spots also need to be cleared
• Ventilation in the roof must be checked and all vents need inspection
• Any nail pops or loose items need to be fixed during inspection

Notifying the neighbor for any planned maintenance is a better idea. Hiring the same contractor for roof will result in a uniform installation. All HOA rules must be followed for maintaining a zero lot line roof.
