Q: How do I check if my roof is impact-resistant?

• <div><p>You can check beneath your shingles to see if they&rsquo;re listed as Class 4 or Class 3. Class 4 are technically the only shingles considered impact-resistant, but Class 3 shingles are still fairly resistant.</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: How many roof vents do I need for a 2,000-square-foot house?

• <div><p>The number of roof vents necessary for a 2,000-square-foot house depends on several factors. The calculation depends on the net free area within the attic and whether your municipality requires a 1/150 or a 1/300 ratio of venting square feet to attic square feet. If you install vents with a square-foot opening of one, you'll need either 14 or seven exhaust vents and an equal square-foot amount of intake vents. </p></div>

"They did a great job. They solved all the problems I had with the chimney and it’s been working perfectly ever since. They also fixed a problem on the roof around the chimney; they replaced the wood around the chimney with a material that would never rot, so they fixed it even better than it was before. It took them a couple of days to do the work. They took care of all the cleanup as well. We've been real happy with them."
