What we see on Durham roofs
Durham gives us the oldest roof stock we work on regularly. Bungalows in Trinity Park and Watts Hillandale frequently have plank decking rather than plywood, which changes the mounting hardware and sometimes the layout entirely. We check decking from inside the attic before finalising any Durham design.
Durham customers ask about storage more than any other area we serve. Ice storms take lines down under tree cover across the county, and outages of twelve to thirty hours are a normal winter experience rather than a rare one.

Durham questions
Tree cover and overhead distribution. Ice loading brings limbs onto lines every winter and restoration under heavy canopy takes longer. A 13.5 kWh module carrying an essential load schedule covers most of those events.
Yes, but only into rafters, never into the planking. We verify rafter spacing from the attic and adjust the module layout to suit, which occasionally costs one or two module positions.
