Q: How long can you leave a leaking roof?

• <div><p>The length of time you can leave a leaking roof before it causes damage will vary greatly depending on a variety of factors. The best approach when it comes to roof leaks is to play it safe and fix it as soon as possible, whether you take the DIY route or hire a roofing professional to inspect, diagnose, and repair the problem.</p></div>

Q: How long does a tar and gravel roof last?

• <div><p>Tar and gravel roofs last an average of 30 years, which is longer than the average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-flat-roofs-last.htm">lifespan of many other flat roofs</a>. The gravel on top of the waterproof membrane helps protect the roof from UV damage and physical damage, so if you keep your roof drains clear and carry out annual roof inspections to catch issues early, you could see up to 40 years of useful life from your roof.</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>

Q: What is the proper way to lay shingles?

• <div><p>The most important thing to remember when laying shingles is to work from the bottom of the slope to the top. This leaves you with a top overlap that directs runoff from one row to the next until it reaches the eave for disposal. You should also make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions and the local building code for nailing patterns and frequency so all of your hard work stays put through varying weather conditions.</p></div>

Q: How high should I raise my roof?

• <div><p>This will depend on your existing roof to some degree, but it&rsquo;s common to raise a roof 4 to 8 feet. The exact amount you can raise is subject to the existing structure. For most homes with average roof slopes&mdash;20 to 45 degrees&mdash;you can raise the roof around 5 feet. </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."
