Thanks for that great info Danax and Hokieone. I agree that its not going to happen overnight, but if you have, say 5-7 years, I think a return on the investment is probable. The rooftop decks havent been used as much as I would think, but with minimal cost and a high-end reward, I think most builders are moving that direction. Doing a little research online, I see that some people have even put a jacuzzi on the rooftop patio. That would make our mild winters a true pleasure! This forum makes me proud to be a Houstonian, and I hope we can all appreciate this great source of information. Thanks Again!
