What time of year is the best to replace a roof?

• <div><p>Fall is usually considered the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-best-time-install-roof.htm">best time of year to replace a roof</a>, as the temperatures are moderate, and having your living space exposed to the outdoors won’t cause extreme temperatures inside. Spring could also work, but the higher risk of rainfall makes fall the best time of year overall. You can opt for a replacement in the summer or spring to avoid peak demand and potentially save some money, though.</p></div>

How much should you pay a roofer upfront?

• <div><p>Ideally, you shouldn’t <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-pay-roofing-contractor-front.htm">pay your roofer upfront</a> unless you’re special-ordering materials. However, anything between 10% and 15% of the project’s cost is reasonable to pay upfront. Avoid making a final payment until after the roof gets completed.</p></div>

Q: Do roofers use staples or nails?

• <div><p>Roofers most often use nails to fasten roofing shingles and other roofing materials. Nails have more holding power than staples and offer better weather resistance and longevity. However, it is possible to use staples instead of nails when installing a roof. Staples are less expensive, but not as high-quality.</p></div>

Q: Do metal roofs leak more than shingles?

• <div><p>Asphalt shingle roofs are more likely to leak than metal roofs because they are more prone to uplift and damage from extreme weather, moss growth, and ice dams. Asphalt shingles also lose shingle grit over time, which decreases their waterproofing qualities. Metal is a more resilient material that will stand up better to strong winds and heavy precipitation, ultimately leading to a lower risk of leaking. As such, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/metal-roofing-facts-and-myths.htm">metal roofs add to home value</a> with a higher ROI than asphalt roofs in most cases.</p></div>

Q: How much should you pay a roofer upfront?

• <div><p>Ideally, you shouldn&rsquo;t <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-pay-roofing-contractor-front.htm">pay your roofer upfront</a> unless you&rsquo;re special-ordering materials. However, anything between 10% and 15% of the project&rsquo;s cost is reasonable to pay upfront. Avoid making a final payment until after the roof gets completed.</p></div>

Q: What are the four types of roof decking?

• <div><p>The four types of roof sheathing are plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), planks, and tone-and-groove boards. The overwhelming majority of homes use the first two (especially OSB) and the other two are not often seen outside of special use cases. Methods of sheathing include solid sheathing, open sheathing where there are gaps, and plank sheathing. Most roofs are solid sheathing.</p></div>

Personnel were friendly and helpful on phone and in person. We were disappointed that roof was cleaned but chimney was not. Crew was careful to protect fish pond but some shrubbery was killed back. Running automatic sprinkler system did not rinse shrubs sufficiently to avoid damage.
