Q: Do chimney caps keep rain and snow out?

• <div><p>Chimney caps have a solid top but perforated sides so smoke can exit safely. If rain or snow falls downward, chimney caps can protect the chimney&rsquo;s interior. Just note that if rain or snow blows in sideways, there&rsquo;s a higher likelihood it will enter the chimney&mdash;but it's not often a cause for concern as long as you have a cap. </p></div>

Q: Why shouldn't you put solar panels on your roof?

• <div><p>A few disadvantages of installing solar panels on your roof include the high up-front costs and the potential for increased property taxes. Installing solar panels can increase the home&rsquo;s value, which in turn can mean higher taxes. Depending on your area, you should check with your local tax offices for more information. Another potential pitfall is roof leaks from a poor installation, but this shouldn&rsquo;t be an issue if you hire a reputable company.</p></div>

Q: Can I use my home’s square footage to order roofing materials?

• <div><p>No, you can&rsquo;t use your home&rsquo;s square footage. You have to calculate your roof&rsquo;s square footage, and then you may have to convert your square footage measurement to correspond with how the roofing material is measured. For instance, some roofing is sold in &ldquo;squares,&rdquo; which equals the total square footage of the roof divided by 100. Shingles are sold in bundles that may not correspond to the number of squares you need. Metal roofing is sold as sheets, so determine the amount of square feet each panel will cover and then divide the total square footage by the coverage area.</p></div>

Q: Are heated roofs worth it?

• <div><p>Heated roofs are a preventative measure and don&rsquo;t have an outsized effect on your home&rsquo;s value, so there is no definitive answer to this question. If you diligently monitor your roof in colder months, ensuring there is never snow or ice buildup then no, maybe they aren&rsquo;t worth it. However, who really watches their roof every day or goes out in freezing weather to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-roof-raking-prevent-ice-dams.htm">rake the roof</a>? For most people worried about roof damage in the winter, heated roofs are a good investment. </p></div>

Q: What is the roof pitch of a Cape Cod house?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-roof-pitch.htm">roof pitch</a> on a Cape Cod house is normally 8/12 or 10/12, meaning the roof rises 8 to 10 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal run. This is steeper than the now-standard 6/12 pitch, as Cape Cod homes were originally popular in northern states, where the steeper pitch helped snowfall slide readily off the roof. </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"
