Q: How do you choose a roofing pro?

• <div><p>Here are a few tips on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-choosing-roofing-contractor.htm">how to choose a roofer</a>:</p><ul><li><p>Get everything in writing</p></li><li><p>Ask for insurance, license, and bond, then verify them</p></li><li><p>Check their reviews </p></li><li><p>Ask for recommendations</p></li><li><p>Get multiple quotes</p></li></ul><p>You&rsquo;ll also want to watch out for any red flags like:</p><ul><li><p>Pushy sales tactics</p></li><li><p>Not willing to show necessary documentation</p></li><li><p>Bad gut instincts</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Does anyone use 3-tab shingles anymore?

• <div><p>Manufacturers, insurance companies, and municipality regulations are phasing out three-tab shingles. Because of their short lifespan and lack of durability compared to other roofing material types, manufacturers are leaning toward better products, and cities and insurers are starting to require better building materials overall. However, 3-tab shingles are still for sale, and some roofing companies still install them. </p></div>

Q: Are furring strips necessary for a metal roof and why?

• <div><p>Furring strips (also called wood stripping) are not always necessary for a metal roof installation, but they are highly recommended and may be required by local building codes or the roofing manufacturer's specifications. There are several key reasons to use them:</p><ul><li><p><b>Energy Efficiency:</b> Furring strips, made of wood or metal, create an air gap between the metal panels and the roof deck. This acts as a thermal break, reducing heat transfer into your home and improving overall energy efficiency.</p></li><li><p><b>Moisture and Condensation Control:</b> The air gap allows for better airflow, which helps prevent moisture buildup and condensation under the metal panels.</p></li><li><p><b>Structural Support:</b> They provide a solid, even frame to which you can attach the metal roofing panels.</p></li></ul><p>It is especially important to use furring strips when installing a metal roof over existing shingles. Without them, the roof surface can be uneven, and you will experience greater solar heat gain.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between roof blistering and hail damage?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/roof-blistering-vs-hail-damage.htm">Roof blistering and hail damage</a> are different in their physical appearance. Blistering, often caused by inadequate ventilation, low-quality material, and improper installation, looks like large, irregular bubbles popping out of your roof. Meanwhile, hail damage is usually circular or oval dents entering your roof and often follows the same path as the hail storm. </p></div>

Q: What is the best material to use for a shed roof?

• <div><p>The best material for your shed roof depends on your budget and personal preferences. For instance, if you&rsquo;re looking for the most cost-effective option, rolled roofing is your best bet. Just be aware that it only lasts for five to eight years. If you prefer something with a longer life span (and you&rsquo;re willing to pay for that durability), consider slate shingles, which can last for hundreds of years.</p></div>
