Q: How long does single-ply roofing last?

• <div><p>Single-ply roofing lasts for between 15 and 30 years, depending on the type you install and the climate in your area. TPO roofing has the shortest lifespan of 15 to 30 years, followed by PVC, which lasts for 20 to 30 years. EPDM roofing is the longest-lasting single-ply roofing option, with a lifespan of 30 to 40 years. Keep in mind that hail, strong winds, blown debris, and foot traffic can all reduce how long your flat roof lasts.</p></div>

Q: Can I install my own chimney cap?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to install your chimney cap in some areas, but it&rsquo;s usually better to hire a professional. Before you attempt a DIY chimney cap installation, check to see if your local building department requires a permit. If it does, you should hire a professional to pull the permit and complete the work for you. Even if you don&rsquo;t need a permit, getting up on your roof is dangerous, especially if you have an aggressive pitch or slippery roof material, like metal. Hiring a chimney professional guarantees the job is done correctly and keeps you safe from injury. </p></div>

Q: How long should a tile roof last?

• <div><p>A well-maintained tile roof can last anywhere from 40 to over 100 years, with its exact lifespan depending on the material and level of care. Proper maintenance, which includes keeping the roof clean, free of debris, and performing routine repairs for any cracked tiles, is crucial for longevity. The lifespan varies significantly by tile type:</p><ul><li><p>Clay, terracotta, and slate tiles are highly durable and can last over 100 years.</p></li><li><p>Concrete tiles typically last from 30 to 100 years.</p></li><li><p>Metal tile roofs generally last between 40 and 70 years.</p></li><li><p>Composite tile roofs have a lifespan of 20 to 50 years.</p></li></ul><p>Be aware that maintenance for a tile roof can sometimes be more expensive than for an asphalt roof.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a zinc roof?

• <div><p>While there are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/benefits-metal-roofing.htm">benefits to installing a metal roof</a> on your home, there are some downsides, too. Zinc roofs, in particular, are susceptible to corrosion from overly salty air directly near coastal areas. Another potential downside of zinc roofing is that it must be allowed to expand and contract with the weather. This means special attention is necessary to how it's fastened to the home to avoid issues. </p></div>

Q: What is the disadvantage of clay tile roofing?

• <div><p>Clay tile roofing is more susceptible to damage from impact than something like a metal roof or even asphalt shingles, so they aren&rsquo;t ideal in areas that see frequent windblown debris or hail. Clay tile roofs are also an average of $8,000 more expensive than asphalt shingle roofs, so up-front cost is an important consideration to make before committing.</p></div>

"The provider requested OK from Choice Warranty and he was denied. It rained last night and rain came into my home. It could have been avoided if Choice had just approved what I requested. Now, the damage will be greater than necessary. I blame Choice home warranty for my home damage. Now it will cost mote than a simple tarp could have prevented until I could get money to repair roof. The provider was great and tried his best to get something done to my roof but Choice Warranty was horrible and no help. They get a "zero" from me"
