What’s the difference between wood shakes and shingles?

• <div><p>Though people use the terms interchangeably, there are some notable <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wood-shake-vs-shingle.htm">differences between wood shakes and shingles</a>. Wood shakes are hand-split from trees and thus have a more textured appearance. They’re also usually thicker (and may not be perfectly uniform). Wood shingles are smoother, thinner, and more uniform than wood shakes.</p></div>

Q: How much are typical roofing replacement costs?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-roof-replacement-cost.htm">The cost to replace your roof</a> is often significantly more expensive than the cost to repair it. On average, homeowners will spend between <b>$5,890 and $12,800</b> to replace a roof. The size of the roof, the roof&rsquo;s pitch, and the number of stories the house has will significantly affect the overall cost. You can expect to spend upwards of <b>$46,000 </b>for large, high-end roofs.</p></div> • <div><p>Pricing can vary drastically by region. In our area, the building codes are very strict, and a stronger roof is required. This will affect the overall cost, along with the size of the roof, the roof's pitch, and the number of stories. You can expect to spend $15,000&ndash;$20,000 for the average home.</p></div>

Q: Can a TPO roof be installed over an existing roof?

• <div><p>While you can technically install TPO roofing over an existing roof, it isn't always wise to do so. The more layers of material you add to your roof, the more weight it must support. You may also develop moisture issues by covering your existing roof with TPO. Your local building codes and regulations may actually require you to remove the existing roof before adding TPO, so check with your local municipality.</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: What happens if you don’t use underlayment on a roof?

• <div><p>Underlayment is required by building code, so any roof installed without it is technically against code. The underlayment acts as the second layer of defense against water, so installing a roof without underlayment means a much higher risk of roof leaks. You&rsquo;ll have the best chance of avoiding roof leaks if you install drip edge flashing covered by underlayment, and then install your roofing material over that.</p></div>

Tammy is very professional and extremely conscientious. The sky lights were installed efficiently. I chose to have manual blinds on the sky lights. If I were to make that decision again I would have chosen remote blinds. One of the sky lights is so high that I still have to get out the...

Even though it was not included in the estimate they applied rubber paint to the top of the chimney on metal pan that was starting to rust no charge. Their estimate was the lowest of three. Showed up the morning after I accepted the bid and finished the job in one day. Very satisfied.

The leak was under the floor, so instead of digging up the tile in our hallway, the plumber capped the defective pipe and ran a new one through the attick to the kitchen. It was a tedious task, but all went well. The plumber was extremely professional and a pleasure to deal with.

They came out when called, were very polite and proceeded to locate the other end of the 'problem pipe'. Fortunately they were able to locate it and then had to cap it off at both ends and run a new pipe up through the crawl space and down into the wall. Sounds easy, but it was not. At least...
