What is the difference between a gable vent and a ridge vent?

• <div><p>Gable vents are more common in older homes built before the 1970s. Homes built after this era use ridge vents or soffits, but you can sometimes find homes with <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-using-ridge-vents-should-gable-vents-be-sealed.htm">both gable and ridge vents</a>. Gable vents can have a purely aesthetic purpose, while ridge vents hide in the roof shingles so air can flow under the roof while keeping the attic dry.</p></div>

Q: Can you replace just a few shingles?

• <div><p>Asphalt shingles, wooden shakes, and slate or clay roofing tiles are often replaceable without having to replace the entire roof. It's possible to replace just a few shingles or tiles without much trouble in the case of wind damage or other minor problems. DIYers can perform the task in some situations. However, professional repair is always the best bet when it comes to roofing. </p></div>

Q: Can I keep my old roof if I build a second story?

• <div><p>Sometimes. Professionals may be able to remove the old roof and re-attach it when completed, depending on your blueprints. That can help you save money. But this method is not without its risks. Larger roofs may crack during the transportation process. And if the roof is old or has problems, it may be better to replace it entirely. Keeping the old roof isn&rsquo;t always possible if you are making significant alterations to the roofline. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to shingle a roof?

• <div><p>Stripping existing shingles and installing a new shingle roof takes a professional one to two days, and sometimes up to three days for larger roofs. Additional safety measures necessary for steep roofs can extend the timeframe even further, as do added measures, like replacing roof decking or reinforcing your roof structure to support heavier materials like slate or clay. </p></div>

Q: Does a metal roof increase a home's value?

• <div><p>Yes, installing a new metal roof will increase your home value. Not only does a new roof boost curb appeal, but a metal roof, in particular, lasts for 40 to 80 years, which is much longer than an asphalt roof. Savvy homebuyers will understand that a metal roof means a longer time before they&rsquo;ll need to pay for a roof replacement and will likely be willing to pay more for your home.</p></div>
