Q: Can moss damage my roof?

• <div><p>Yes, moss can be dangerous for your roof if left in place to grow without treatment. The moss soaks up and holds moisture. Having a constantly damp roof could lead to problems with rot for the parts of the roof that consist of wood. Additionally, a patch of thick moss may draw insects and birds, which could damage the roof. Thick moss could block the roof&rsquo;s drainage system. Water then may back up after a rainstorm and cause further damage that could eventually lead to roof repair expenses or the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-roof-replacement-cost.htm">cost of roof replacement</a>.</p></div>

Q: Why do roofing permits get denied?

• <div><p>Sometimes, a local authority won&rsquo;t approve a request for a roofing permit. This may be because of incomplete documentation, unclear project plans, processing delays, or insufficient communication. There may also be discrepancies with building codes. </p></div>

Q: Can you put a green roof on a regular house?

• <div><p>You can put a green roof on a regular house with a compatible slope. Green roofs are best suited for flat or gently sloped roofs, as steeply pitched roofs can make the installation and maintenance of the green roof challenging. Flat roofs can support the weight of the soil and plants and ensure effective drainage. </p></div>

Q: Is a cool roof worth it?

• <div><p>A cool roof can be worth it in the right climate. Cool roofs are excellent at reflecting solar heat away from your home, so if you live in a warm or hot climate, they can be a great roofing choice. Some cool roofing materials are even eligible for tax credits. However, they cost more than traditional roofing and don&rsquo;t retain heat as well as traditional roofing, so they&rsquo;re not ideal if you live in a cold climate.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t use underlayment on a roof?

• <div><p>Underlayment is required by building code, so any roof installed without it is technically against code. The underlayment acts as the second layer of defense against water, so installing a roof without underlayment means a much higher risk of roof leaks. You&rsquo;ll have the best chance of avoiding roof leaks if you install drip edge flashing covered by underlayment, and then install your roofing material over that.</p></div>
