Buying a new house. Think it will serve us pretty well. Instead of shingles, or other roofing material I have dealt with before, it has what I am told is hot tar covered with gravel. I have seen that on commercial buildings, but never on a home. It is not really a flat roof. I measured the slope at about 1.5 feet over 12. Looks to be in pretty good shape, except for a couple of spots where the stones have washed off or whatever, and the tar is exposed.
Anybody have one of these? Good things, bad things, advice or suggestions? Looking mainly here for people who own one, or professionals with experience dealing with them. Thanks for any thoughts.
