Q: What’s the difference between a mansard roof and a gambrel roof?

• <div><p>A gambrel roof and a mansard roof are similar in that they are both hipped roofs, meaning they have double slopes&mdash;one steep and one more gradual above the steep slope. The difference is that a gambrel roof has a double slope on only two sides of the structure, whereas a mansard roof has a double slope on all four sides.</p></div>

Q: When should you not use a metal roof?

• <div><p>You should avoid choosing a metal roof if your home has a weak structural support system, as metal roofs can be heavier than roofs made of other materials. If you're in a region prone to frequent hailstorms or high winds, you also need to be aware that denting may occur.</p></div>

Q: Does torch down roofing installation come with liability?

• <div><p>More and more insurance companies are writing torch down applications out of their liability insurance for contractors. If torch down is covered, they generally require a worker to stay on site for two hours after the last flame is extinguished.</p><p>For this reason, cold application modified bitumen&mdash;also known as &ldquo;peel and stick&rdquo;&mdash;is becoming more popular, and torch down is decreasing in popularity. Modified bitumen is taking its place, as it uses both hot and cold applications.</p></div>

Q: How can you find a quality roofing contractor?

• <div><p>Look for certified local roofing contractors with plenty of experience working with cedar. There are also several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-questions-ask-hiring-roofer.htm">important roofing questions to ask</a> before <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-choosing-roofing-contractor.htm">choosing a roofer</a>, including whether they are licensed, bonded, and insured. Once you&rsquo;ve rounded up a few good candidates, compare estimates and hire whoever gives you the best bang for your buck.</p></div>

Q: Can you replace drip edge without removing shingles?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s possible to replace drip edge flashing without removing shingles, but it&rsquo;s not a good idea. You&rsquo;ll have to lift the bottom shingles up to remove the old drip edge, install the new material, and then lay the lifted roofing material over the new drip edge. Bending roof shingles can cause damage, and if you have ongoing issues with roof leaks that prompt drip edge replacement, it&rsquo;s a good idea to consider a roof and drip edge replacement to avoid ongoing issues.</p></div>
