[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We found a good teardown lot. Husband is keen on doing a modern style house (flat roof, rectangular shape, lots of floor to ceiling windows, etc). Besides the challenge of resale, increased energy costs, anything else we should be aware of? [/quote] Ooooh, Id be careful with flat roofs, the build up of snow and leaves with nowhere to go (no arch allowing them to slide off) creates a mess of deterioration of your roof after just 3 - 5 years. How do builders that build modern homes combat that? [/quote] For some reason our fairly new Arlington townhouses were built with flat roofs. They do have drainage into downspouts and that is effective. Once a year some of us get together and have the roofs cleaned. It is amazing what the contractor finds beyond leaves. The people who are too dumb to gent them cleaned have had roof leaks because the debris clogs the channels to the downspouts. [/quote]
