Q: What is the best pitch for a porch roof?

• <div><p>The minimum recommended slope for a porch roof is 1/4:12, which means 1/4-inch of rise every 12 inches of run. Slopes of 3:12 and 4:12 are more common and provide faster drainage for runoff. Make sure to choose a pitch that&rsquo;s appropriate both for the climate in your area and the type of roof material you install. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-choosing-roofing-contractor.htm">Hire a roofer</a> if you need help determining what the right roof pitch is. </p></div>

Q: Should all roofs have flashing?

• <div><p>Yes, all roofs can benefit from flashing. Roof flashing can protect a property from water damage, roof leaks, mold, and other serious issues. It&rsquo;s vital if you&rsquo;d like to extend the lifespan of your roof and avoid costly repairs down the road.</p></div>

Q: How long does single-ply roofing last?

• <div><p>Single-ply roofing lasts for between 15 and 30 years, depending on the type you install and the climate in your area. TPO roofing has the shortest lifespan of 15 to 30 years, followed by PVC, which lasts for 20 to 30 years. EPDM roofing is the longest-lasting single-ply roofing option, with a lifespan of 30 to 40 years. Keep in mind that hail, strong winds, blown debris, and foot traffic can all reduce how long your flat roof lasts.</p></div>

Q: What are the pros and cons of roll roofing?

• <div><p>As with any roofing material, there are benefits and drawbacks to consider before installing roll roofing. On the plus side, roll roofing is budget-friendly, lightweight, and comparatively easy to install. It is also ideal for low-sloped roofs and lasts around 10 years. The cons of roll roofing, however, include its low durability compared to roofing materials, restricted color choices, and low ROI.</p><p><b>Pros:</b></p><ul><li><p>Low-cost</p></li><li><p>Lightweight</p></li><li><p>Cut to size</p></li><li><p>Easy and quick installation </p></li><li><p>Designed for low-sloped roofs</p></li><li><p>Waterproofs your roof for an average of 10 years</p></li><li><p>Easy to purchase and transport</p></li></ul><p><b>Cons:</b></p><ul><li><p>Less durable than asphalt shingles</p></li><li><p>More prone to cracks and tears</p></li><li><p>Short life span</p></li><li><p>Not as many color or style choices</p></li><li><p>Not as aesthetically pleasing as shingles, wood, or clay tiles</p></li><li><p>Not preferred for a higher home resale value</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Is it okay to put a new roof over an old one?

• <div><p>Whether replacing the entire roof or just installing roof shingle replacements in small areas, always pull up the old roof shingles. While you can technically put new roof shingles (but not other roof materials) over old shingles, this can add weight strain to the roof and prevent the new shingles from securing properly to the roof.</p></div>
