Should there be a gap between the roof and the wall?

• <div><p>There should be small gaps between your roof and the walls of your home, and other buildings. These small gaps let building materials shift, expand, and contract with weather and other outside forces, and they prevent moisture from wicking down walls from roofing and gutter systems. Without these strategic gaps, your home’s exterior and its finishes can sustain water damage, decay, peel, delaminate, and crack. However, there is a fine line between a smart gap and a problematic gap—all gaps should be small, intentional, and covered or filled in with foam insulation to prevent pests from using them as access points.</p></div>

Is a drip edge necessary on a roof?

• <div><p>Yes, because it prevents water damage, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/8-common-problems-can-lead-pest-infestations.htm">deters pests</a> from accessing the roof decking, protects the roof from wind damage, and lengthens the roof's life. Plus, building codes require it. </p></div>

How can you find a quality roofing contractor?

• <div><p>Look for certified local roofing contractors with plenty of experience working with cedar. There are also several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-questions-ask-hiring-roofer.htm">important roofing questions to ask</a> before <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-choosing-roofing-contractor.htm">choosing a roofer</a>, including whether they are licensed, bonded, and insured. Once you’ve rounded up a few good candidates, compare estimates and hire whoever gives you the best bang for your buck.</p></div>

Q: How do I hire a reliable roofer?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-hire-roofing-contractors.htm">Hiring a reliable roofing contractor</a> requires finding a company in your area with years of experience, holds the necessary licensing, and has a history of positive customer reviews and services. Start by researching whether a roofer you&rsquo;re considering hiring holds the necessary certifications. Consider requesting customer references from your top contenders. Finally, get quotes from a few roofing companies and decide which provides the best value overall.</p></div>

Q: Is it more inexpensive to build or buy roof trusses?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re building the roof trusses yourself, which isn&rsquo;t recommended, it will be more affordable than buying pre-built trusses. Trusses cost more because they use the same amount of material, but you&rsquo;ll also be paying for the labor, as well as the delivery to your home. However, if you&rsquo;re having a contractor build the roof for you, then trusses will be less expensive, as the labor <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/roof-framing-cost.htm">costs to build roof framing</a> on-site will cost more. </p></div>
