Chimney Caps questions, answered by experts

If you’re building the roof trusses yourself, which isn’t recommended, it will be more affordable than buying pre-built trusses. Trusses cost more because they use the same amount of material, but you’ll also be paying for the labor, as well as the delivery to your home. However, if you’re having a contractor build the roof for you, then trusses will be less expensive, as the labor costs to build roof framing on-site will cost more.

This will depend on your existing roof to some degree but it’s common to raise a roof 4 to 8 feet. The exact amount you can raise is subject to the existing structure and for most homes with average roof slopes—20 to 45 degrees—you can raise the roof around 5 feet.

A metal roof will not make your house hot. In fact, metal roofs reflect heat, keeping your home cooler when the temperature outside rises. In addition to its reflectivity, metal also has a high thermal conductivity, so it gains and loses heat quickly. The sun may cause the metal to heat up, but the roof quickly transfers that heat back into the air around it rather than retaining it and transferring it into your home.

Rubber shingles last for around 30 years, on average, and some can last for and include warranties for up to 50 years. Rubber roof shingles are more expensive than asphalt shingles, but they can last up to twice as long, meaning they provide more value in the long run. Just keep in mind that rubber roofs often require more maintenance than asphalt shingle roofs, including routine cleaning to avoid mold growth. Ask the roofer who installed your roof for an estimate for routine cleaning, if necessary.

The placement of snow guards depends on the individual roof, but typically snow guards are placed between 12 and 18 inches from the eaves, though they can be placed as close as six inches and as far as 24 inches from the eaves. A roofing professional can assess the roof and potential snow loads to determine the best placement.
