Q: When should you tarp a roof?

• <div><p>You should tarp a roof whenever roof damage occurs. Missing shingles and holes in your roof can cause <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-unexpected-dangers-leaky-roof.htm">roof leaks and problems</a> that come with them. Tarping is a quick way to provide temporary roof protection while you wait for a professional roofer to make repairs.</p></div>

Q: Do all bay windows need a roof?

• <div><p>If the bay window extends beyond your existing roofline, you must add a roof or a small &ldquo;skirt&rdquo; to divert storm water and prevent water damage. The window roof can match your existing house roof, or be finished with copper or other decorative materials. Most bay windows have a roof with complete flashing regardless of their placement to prevent leaks into the home.</p></div>

Q: Do you need roof ridge caps on your roof?

• <div><p>Yes, roof ridge caps are a necessary part of your roof system. Your roof ridge cap is at the peak of your roof, where two slopes of your roof meet. Roof ridge caps seal the seam and help protect your roof from water and debris, and because they&rsquo;re pre-bent and thicker, they&rsquo;re more suited to the job than regular roof shingles, which can break when bent. </p></div>

Q: What happens if a drip edge or gutter apron is not installed on a roof?

• <div><p>Skipping the installation of a drip edge or gutter apron can lead to significant water damage. Without this component, water is more likely to seep under roofing materials or leak behind gutters, damaging the fascia, soffits, siding, and even the interior of your home, such as the attic. Over time, this moisture can cause rot, mold, and deterioration. In colder climates, a missing drip edge also increases the risk of ice dams, which can lead to expensive repairs. A drip edge is an essential part of a roof's drainage system, and some local building codes may even require its installation to protect the home from water damage.</p></div>

Q: Are chimney crowns the same thing as a chimney caps?

• <div><p>No, a chimney crown is not the same as a chimney cap. A chimney crown is a flat cement area on top of a masonry chimney. It starts where the masonry part of the chimney ends at the very top and domes upward toward the flue opening. A chimney cap sits on top of the crown over the flue. It is usually made of metal and allows smoke to escape without letting in rainwater.</p></div>
