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: What is the warranty on algae-resistant shingles?

• <div><p>The warranty for algae-resistant shingles varies by manufacturer, but the industry standard is 25 years for overall shingle durability and lifespan and between 10 and 15 years for algae resistance. Some products come with longer warranties for discoloration of up to 30 years. Check warranty coverage for the shingle and algae protection before deciding on a roofing product.</p></div>

Q: Which is better: a metal or shingle roof?

• <div><p>Whether a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/are-metal-roofs-better-shingles.htm">metal or shingle roof is better </a>for you depends on your preferences. Standing seam metal roofs require little to no maintenance, but if you install a screw-down metal roof where the fasteners are exposed, the gaskets on the fasteners will dry rot and need to be replaced. Generally, screw-down metal roofs need to be re-screwed every 15 to 20 years.</p><p>Metal roofs are energy-efficient and have extended warranties, while asphalt shingles are less durable than most. They tend to lose color and get damaged over time, and absorb heat from the sun.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between EPDM roofing and built-up roofing?

• <div><p>EPDM roofing is a single-ply roofing material made of rubber, and a professional will install it in a single sheet and seal the seams. Built-up roofing (BUR) consists of multiple layers made from asphalt, adhesives, and roofing felt. A professional will construct the layers of BUR on-site. EPDM is easier to repair and has better resistance to extreme temperatures, while BUR is more fire-resistant and affordable. </p></div>

Q: Can you add a roof over existing shake or shingles?

• <div><p>While you technically can add a roof over shakes or shingles, it&rsquo;s not a good idea. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-questions-ask-installing-roof-overlay.htm">Roofing over existing roofing</a> creates a moisture barrier underneath the new roof and since the trapped material is wood, you can expect a moisture problem. While you could get away with installing a new roof over asphalt or steel, wooden roofs should be removed, new underlayment installed, and the new roof installed over that. Also, the extra weight would add strain to your roof structure.</p></div>
