Hi @Brent Paul  I would suggest visiting your local permit office and explain to them what you want to do.  Most areas require some sort of building permit with an architect or engineer seal.

Great idea.  Looking forward to it.  I may have the kids as well (hope that is OK).  We'll also be in for lunch!

@Whys C. Contrats on finishing your exams!  They were a brutal, laborious time of my life.

Do you already have a signed contract with this contractor?  Hopefully you didn't pay any advances.  I agree with the others and start looking for other contractors.  Would suggest using AIA A105 Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor as a template for your contract.

@Johann Jells

PVC and mod bit are apples and oranges in comparison.  Would strongly vouch for PVC between the 2.  In my office, I typically detail PVC roofs and design them to go up and over the parapets with some type of metal coping.   I agree with points @Jim Adrian  mentioned regarding color, walking pads, etc.  The continuous surface just provides less chance of leakage.  Also, regarding warranty, you will have a bit of extra protection if you continue the roofing membrane over the parapet.  This is something you may want to confirm with the roofer.  Also, would recommend minimum 1/4" per foot tapered insulation.

Hi @Karen Dayley , I came across this thread as I was searching for answers to a similar issue.  I recently started using a Google Forms.  I created a form of questions that I had been using which was similar to the template used by @Joe Schwartzbauer in this thread.  You can email it to anyone to fill out and you can track all of the responses.  Best of all, you can convert all of the responses into one Google Sheet for tracking purposes.  I'm interested to find out what you are using these days.

Will be there!

@CJ Witmer great post and good analysis.  Be sure to check out the property taxes and school taxes in Chambersburg.  In my experience, they are higher than the national average combined.
