Do chimney caps keep rain and snow out?

• <div><p>Chimney caps have a solid top but perforated sides so smoke can exit safely. If rain or snow falls downward, chimney caps can protect the chimney’s interior. Just note that if rain or snow blows in sideways, there’s a higher likelihood it will enter the chimney—but it's not often a cause for concern as long as you have a cap. </p></div>

Is a roof replacement just shingles?

• <div><p>A roof replacement will usually include removal of your old roof, shingle replacement, and a new roof underlayment, but it may only include adding new shingles if you’re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/problems-with-two-layer-shingles.htm">layering new shingles over the old shingles</a>. If you have signs of roof leaks or your roofer finds water damage to the roof decking underneath your old roof, it can also include replacement of the OSB or plywood decking that lays over your rafters and supports the roofing material above. </p></div>

Q: How long does a roof last?

• <div><p>The materials that make up your roof will determine <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-roof-last.htm">how long your roof will last</a>. Typical three-tab shingles generally have a life span of about 20 years, while architectural shingles can last up to 30 years under proper maintenance. Metal roofing materials have longer expected life spans, starting at around 40 years. They can sometimes last up to 100. Slate roofs can last 150 years or longer with proper care. </p></div>

Q: How much does roof replacement cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-roof-replacement-cost.htm">Roof replacement costs</a> <b>$8,700 to $22,000</b>. You may need to replace your whole roof, especially if it is a few decades old. This process includes removing the old roof, inspecting and repairing any damage, and installing the new roof in its place.</p></div>

Q: Do all roofs need overhang?

• <div><p>No, there&rsquo;s no specific building code that requires a roof overhang. However, installing your roof with the standard 2-inch overhang is good practice, as it helps direct runoff away from your fascia boards and roof decking and into your gutters. Some overhang is especially important in areas that see heavy rainfall and snowfall, as the risk of water getting under the roofing material and causing water damage is much higher.</p></div>

My husband and I highly recommend Low Country Chimney Sweeps for any work you may need done with regard to fireplaces and chimneys. We recently moved to HHI and looking up one day discovered our cap chimney was rusted and “holy.” We looked on “Angie’s List” (our go to site for such things) and...

Alex was friendly, but I was surprised that the business isn't a chimney sweep company. His flashlight didn't work consistently & I didn't feel assured that the inspection was thorough. At the beginning he told me I needed a chimney cap & that would be about $200.

He gave us a good service for the price and we are very glad that we called this company. He also got up on the roof and checked and photographed both chimneys, showed us how the logs are disassembled, checked for gas leaks and that the O2 sensors worked, gave us a lot of good information.

Al was very friendly, punctual and a true professional. He removed and cleaned all my gas logs which were covered with residue from the birds residing in the chimney and cleaned up the work site proficiently.

I chose the new system with the perforated caps because they allowed more water to flow directly into the gutter instead flowing over the sides of the gutters. The craftsmanship of the copper flashing was absolutely phenomenal.
