vapor barrier
You would believe how many homes in this area were built without vapor barrier.
The Dockem shore area at the Governors Island end and Southdown are famous for poor construction just to mention a couple of areas where I’ve had to do minor repairs before painting the house. Pretty much anything built in the 80’s was just thrown up by anyone who could swing a hammer. It’s actually sad when you think of what people are paying and what they are actually getting. Spec houses tend to be of a higher quality.
To get back, a lot of homeowners don't know that you are not suppose to use paint on shingles reguardless of how they are installed. You won't find that info at HD or Lowes though, you have to talk to someone a paint store.
