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>

Q: Do algae-resistant shingles prevent moss?

• <div><p>Yes, algae-resistant shingles will prevent algae and moss growth, providing double protection for your roof and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-roof-flashing.htm">roof flashing</a>. The copper-infused granules on algae-resistant shingles release copper ions that inhibit plant growth in general, so moss will have a harder time growing on your roof, too. Keep in mind that copper ions flowing off your roof during rainfall can also inhibit plant growth below, so your gardens and grass may be affected.</p></div>

Q: Can roof raking damage shingles?

• <div><p>Roof raking can damage shingles if improperly done. Be sure to use a rake that&rsquo;s designed specifically for removing snow from a roof, and don&rsquo;t use excessive pressure. Light, consistent pressure to pull down the bulk of the snow is all that&rsquo;s needed&mdash;if you clear right down to the shingles, you&rsquo;re probably using too much force and risking roof damage.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between cedar shakes and cedar shingles?

• <div><p>Though cedar shakes often get confused with shingles, there are a few key differences between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wood-shake-vs-shingle.htm">wood shakes and wood shingles.</a> For one, cedar shingle prices are lower, although shingles are less durable than wood shakes. Cedar shakes are thicker than shingles (shingles range from about 3/8 to 1/2 inches thick, compared to 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick for shakes). Wood shakes are handmade, while shingles are usually machine-made. Also, wood shakes work better on steeper roofs than shingles do. While the cost of cedar shingles is more budget-friendly, there are many great reasons to choose shakes.</p></div>

Q: What is the typical lifespan of a metal roof?

• <div><p>A metal roof can last anywhere from 15 to over 100 years, with an average of 50 years, depending on the material, installation, and environment. The specific metal is a key factor: aluminum roofs may last 20 to 45 years, while steel can last 30 to 60 years. Tin can last for up to 75 years, and more durable options like zinc, stainless steel, and copper can last from 80 to over 100 years. Factors that can shorten a metal roof's lifespan include living in a coastal region with corrosive salt air, improper installation (such as laying over old shingles), and failing to inspect and replace fasteners, which may wear out before the panels.</p></div>
