Q: Do cedar shakes last longer than asphalt shingles?

• <div><p>The short answer is, yes, cedar shakes do last longer than asphalt shingles. But the long answer is, it depends on maintenance. Asphalt shingles last about 20 years, while cedar shingles typically last about 30 years with proper maintenance. If they are very well maintained and installed in an area with a mild, drier climate, they can last up to 50 years.</p></div>

Q: What are the pros and cons of roll roofing?

• <div><p>As with any roofing material, there are benefits and drawbacks to consider before installing roll roofing. On the plus side, roll roofing is budget-friendly, lightweight, and comparatively easy to install. It is also ideal for low-sloped roofs and lasts around 10 years. The cons of roll roofing, however, include its low durability compared to roofing materials, restricted color choices, and low ROI.</p><p><b>Pros:</b></p><ul><li><p>Low-cost</p></li><li><p>Lightweight</p></li><li><p>Cut to size</p></li><li><p>Easy and quick installation </p></li><li><p>Designed for low-sloped roofs</p></li><li><p>Waterproofs your roof for an average of 10 years</p></li><li><p>Easy to purchase and transport</p></li></ul><p><b>Cons:</b></p><ul><li><p>Less durable than asphalt shingles</p></li><li><p>More prone to cracks and tears</p></li><li><p>Short life span</p></li><li><p>Not as many color or style choices</p></li><li><p>Not as aesthetically pleasing as shingles, wood, or clay tiles</p></li><li><p>Not preferred for a higher home resale value</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Which color shingles last longest?

• <div><p>The material and frequency of maintenance are the biggest factors for determining the longevity of your shingles, not the color. For instance, luxury asphalt shingles can last 30 years or even longer, while slate tiles have an impressive lifespan ranging from 75 to 100 years. That said, lighter-colored shingles can help reduce your energy costs in the summertime.</p></div>

Q: How can you hang Christmas lights on a roof that doesn't have gutters?

• <div><p>If your home doesn't have gutters, you can still hang Christmas lights on the roof using specialized clips. Use roof clips designed to attach to shingles or fascia. For tile roofs or the edges of the rooftop, consider using parrot clips. Adhesive light-hanging clips are also a great option. It's important to avoid using nails or staples, as they can damage your roofing material. For unique or complex installations, it's best to consult a professional Christmas light installer to find the safest and most effective solution for your home.</p></div>

Q: How far up do you put snow guards on a metal roof?

• <div><p>The placement of snow guards depends on the individual roof, but typically snow guards are placed between 12 and 18 inches from the eaves, though they can be placed as close as six inches and as far as 24 inches from the eaves. A roofing professional can assess the roof and potential snow loads to determine the best placement.</p></div>

"These guys were great! From Kevin who did the initial roof inspection and quote to Jose and the crew they did everything discussed and then some. I’ve some experience with roofing and considered their quote reasonable, fair and very competitive. My roof was about 33 squares worth and with about 3/4 of the old roof having two layers of shingles to remove they were able to complete it in one day. They used tarps around the entire house to cover flower beds and catch debris. I look forward to working with these guys in the future and will be recommending them to friends."
