Q: What is the formula for measuring a roof?

• <div><p>The common formula for measuring a roof is length x width equals square footage. Professional roofers measure the length and width of your roof, including dormers, and determine its pitch and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/roof-rafters-size.htm">rafter sizes</a>. If a roof surface is a triangle, they&rsquo;ll divide that square footage by two, then add up the square footage of each surface to get the total for the roof.</p></div>

Q: Where do most roof leaks occur?

• <div><p>Most roof leaks occur where shingles meet or where there are sealants or seams in the materials. This is common around skylights and at any point there is a break in the roof such as corners and edges. Roofing materials are incredibly strong and resistant when overlapping, but any change in that can cause gaps where water can enter.</p></div>

Q: Are copper roof strips more effective than zinc roof strips?

• <div><p>Copper roof strips offer better coverage and more damage protection than zinc roof strips. Although both deter moss and algae growth, copper also offers UV protection. Zinc strips require more strips than copper to cover the roof&rsquo;s surface area, which means more holes in your roof. Copper strips are also more flexible and last longer than zinc strips.</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>

Q: Should all roofs have flashing?

• <div><p>Yes, all roofs can benefit from flashing. Roof flashing can protect a property from water damage, roof leaks, mold, and other serious issues. It&rsquo;s vital if you&rsquo;d like to extend the lifespan of your roof and avoid costly repairs down the road.</p></div>
