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>

Q: What is the life expectancy of roofing felt?

• <div><p>Roofing felt is the most common type of roof underlayment, likely because it has been around the longest. It&rsquo;s called roofing felt because it is often made of felt soaked in asphalt. Depending on the type of roofing a home has, roofing felt comes in different thicknesses. </p><p>If properly installed and maintained, roofing felt should last between 10 and 25 years. </p></div>

Q: How much does a chimney cap cost?

• <div><p>A chimney cap costs about $300 on average to install, with prices ranging from $75 to $1,000. The final cost depends on several factors, including the professional you hire, the accessibility of your chimney, the cap's material and size, whether any repairs are needed, and if it requires custom fabrication. Chimney caps are usually made from galvanized steel, stainless steel, or copper. Copper caps are the most expensive, followed by stainless steel and then galvanized steel. Excluding labor, average material costs are around $100 for galvanized steel, $250 for stainless steel, and $600 for copper. You may also face additional costs, such as hiring a chimney sweep to clean the chimney before the cap is installed.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best underlayment for a metal roof?

• <div><p>Just like when you&rsquo;re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/proper-installation-asphalt-roof-shingles.htm">shingling a roof</a>, you can install felt underlayment under a metal roof, but a synthetic underlayment like adhered ice and water shield is the best option. These use adhesives rather than mechanical fasteners, so you have fewer penetrations going through your roof deck and a lower risk of leaks. Ice and water shield is also easier to install because you don&rsquo;t need additional tools or fasteners to attach it to the roof deck. </p></div>

Q: How many roof vents do I need for a 2,000-square-foot house?

• <div><p>The number of roof vents necessary for a 2,000-square-foot house depends on several factors. The calculation depends on the net free area within the attic and whether your municipality requires a 1/150 or a 1/300 ratio of venting square feet to attic square feet. If you install vents with a square-foot opening of one, you'll need either 14 or seven exhaust vents and an equal square-foot amount of intake vents. </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.
