The contractor that will be installing the roof on my new home says he is going to run #30 felt VERTICALLY up the roof pitch (12/12). I understand that will be way faster, and probably safer. But it CAN'T be better for me. The Contractor who is framing the house is outstanding. I trust what he says as much as a family member. He says that it is fairly common to do it this way on steep roofs. Mostly to avoid walking on the rows of paper possible ripping them, or worse slipping off the roof. I am acting as general contractor on this. I feel like I should say NO to vertical felt and incur any additional costs.
Please give me some advise here. Anyone who has a metal roof please chime in. Was your underlayment done vertical? Any problems??
This is happening in less than 2 weeks time.
PS the peak of the roof is 31' above ground.
