Either way, Capitol Insurance Restorations is the name you can rely on to get the work completed. Simply put, a parapet or "party" wall is a low wall or half wall type of construction. Historically, it was used as a method of defense a place to launch an attack while being protected from the enemy. Now, it is often more of just an aesthetically pleasing addition to a home or commercial building. This type of wall offers many important benefits. For one thing it acts as a protective barrier for anyone who may be on the roof; whether you have a type of observation deck here or just want anyone working on your roof to be safeguarded. This is also a method of fire prevention or protection from fire. It is also ideal for helping with wind uplift resistance that could otherwise damage the edges of your roof line and compromise the structural integrity.
