Q: Can rain come in through ridge vents?

• <div><p>Rain shouldn&rsquo;t come in through your ridge vents unless your vents are damaged or the rain is accompanied by very high winds. Most ridge vents use flashing or baffling to keep out rain, snow, and debris. If your ridge vent isn&rsquo;t baffled, rain is more likely to enter your attic, so ridge vents with baffles are a better choice in areas with regular rainfall.</p></div>

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 is the best type of roof vent?

• <div><p>The best type of roof vent depends on the size, type, and construction of your roof as well as the environmental conditions in and around your home. In many cases, an active ventilation system that draws in fresh air and exhausts air out through the attic is the most effective. Active ventilation systems include roof ridge vents with baffles, turbine vents, and soffit vents that are used together with another type of vent. </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 happens if you don’t use underlayment on a roof?

• <div><p>Underlayment is required by building code, so any roof installed without it is technically against code. The underlayment acts as the second layer of defense against water, so installing a roof without underlayment means a much higher risk of roof leaks. You&rsquo;ll have the best chance of avoiding roof leaks if you install drip edge flashing covered by underlayment, and then install your roofing material over that.</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."
