Q: How much does a square of shingles weigh?

• <div><p>A square of shingles covers 100 square feet and usually ranges from 150 to 240 pounds. It all depends on the material and type of shingle.</p></div>

Q: Is it normal for a roofing estimate to change after the initial assessment?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible for a roofing estimate to change after the initial assessment, but in most cases, it shouldn&rsquo;t. There&rsquo;s always the risk that something unexpected will happen that causes prices to go up, like discontinued materials or your roofer discovering previously hidden damage to your decking when ripping off the old roof. However, experienced roofers should account for these circumstances in their initial estimates. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/i-was-wondering-if-i-was-obligated-roofers-contract.htm">Roofing contracts are binding</a>, so always check your contract for language about how and why your numbers could change. </p></div>

Q: What size staples are best for roof shingles?

• <div><p><b>16-gauge galvanized steel staples</b> with a minimum crown of <b>15/16 inches</b> or <b>24 millimeters</b> are occasionally used to install shingles. However, most shingle manufacturers or residential building codes don&rsquo;t recommend staples as a roofing fastener. Roofing nails are preferred in most cases, especially in areas that get a lot of heavy wind.</p></div>

Q: Do roofers remove satellite dishes?

• <div><p>Many roofers remove satellite dishes as part of their services, especially during roof repairs or replacements. However, they typically won&rsquo;t reconnect or reinstall the dish. If you no longer need the dish, roofers can dispose of it, but for reuse, you may need a satellite technician to handle reinstallation.</p></div>

Q: How long does chimney flashing last?

• <div><p>Properly installed chimney flashing can last anywhere from 15 to 50 years. However, flashing generally only needs to be replaced when it is damaged, corroded, or no longer creates a watertight seal. Several factors influence its longevity, including the material type, quality of installation, and local climate. For example, copper flashing tends to last longer than galvanized steel. Large storms and extreme weather can also damage flashing, potentially requiring earlier replacement. To ensure its longevity, it is recommended to have your chimney and roof inspected annually. A professional can assess the flashing's condition and recommend any necessary repairs.</p></div>

The work was done very poorly and now I have to pay another contractor to fix the problem. The contractor returned and resolved all the issues in the roof. He painted my house before doing the roof and his crew did a good job there, the stripping and painting were well done and of good value.
