On the plus side, roll roofing is budget-friendly, lightweight, and comparatively easy to install. It is also ideal for low-sloped roofs and lasts around 10 years.

Q: What is the difference between cedar shakes and cedar shingles?

• <div>Though cedar shakes often get confused with shingles, there are a few key differences between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wood-shake-vs-shingle.htm">wood shakes and wood shingles.</a> For one, cedar shingle prices are lower, although shingles are less durable than wood shakes. Cedar shakes are thicker than shingles (shingles range from about 3/8 to 1/2 inches thick, compared to 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick for shakes). Wood shakes are handmade, while shingles are usually machine-made. Also, wood shakes work better on steeper roofs than shingles do. While the cost of cedar shingles is more budget-friendly, there are many great reasons to choose shakes.</div>

Q: Can you walk on a clay tile roof?

• <div>It&rsquo;s possible to walk on a clay tile roof, but you run the risk of breaking or cracking the tiles if you&rsquo;re not careful, so it&rsquo;s best not to walk on it if you can avoid it. If you or a contractor needs roof access, be sure to distribute your weight evenly and step on the portions of tile that are also supported underneath, which depends on your tile design. Walking on any roofing material is inherently dangerous, so wear rubber-soled shoes and use safety equipment if you need to access your roof.</div>

Q: How do you choose a roofing pro?

• <div>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>:<ul><li>Get everything in writing</li><li>Ask for insurance, license, and bond, then verify them</li><li>Check their reviews </li><li>Ask for recommendations</li><li>Get multiple quotes</li></ul>You&rsquo;ll also want to watch out for any red flags like:<ul><li>Pushy sales tactics</li><li>Not willing to show necessary documentation</li><li>Bad gut instincts</li></ul></div>

Q: Which color shingles last longest?

• <div>The material and frequency of maintenance are the biggest factors for determining the longevity of your shingles, not the color. For instance, luxury asphalt shingles can last 30 years or even longer, while slate tiles have an impressive lifespan ranging from 75 to 100 years. That said, lighter-colored shingles can help reduce your energy costs in the summertime.</div>

Roofing questions, answered by experts

As with any roofing material, there are benefits and drawbacks to consider before installing roll roofing. On the plus side, roll roofing is budget-friendly, lightweight, and comparatively easy to install. It is also ideal for low-sloped roofs and lasts around 10 years. The cons of roll roofing, however, include its low durability compared to roofing materials, restricted color choices, and low ROI.

Pros:

Low-cost
Lightweight
Cut to size
Easy and quick installation
Designed for low-sloped roofs
Waterproofs your roof for an average of 10 years
Easy to purchase and transport

Cons:

Less durable than asphalt shingles
More prone to cracks and tears
Short life span
Not as many color or style choices
Not as aesthetically pleasing as shingles, wood, or clay tiles
Not preferred for a higher home resale value

Walking on any roofing material is inherently dangerous, so wear rubber-soled shoes and use safety equipment if you need to access your roof.

Here are a few tips on how to choose a roofer:

Get everything in writing
Ask for insurance, license, and bond, then verify them
Check their reviews
Ask for recommendations
Get multiple quotes

You’ll also want to watch out for any red flags like:

Pushy sales tactics
Not willing to show necessary documentation
Bad gut instincts
