Q: Can you get a mortgage on a house with a bad roof?

• <div><p>Most traditional lenders will not loan against a house with a leaking roof, and some lenders won&rsquo;t lend against a home with a roof near the end of its lifespan. If the roof on your new home is in poor condition, you may need to have the seller offer a credit for a roof replacement after closing, or you can opt for a renovation loan&mdash;also called a 203k loan&mdash;to bundle the house and the roof replacement into one loan. </p></div>

Q: Are copper roof strips more effective than zinc roof strips?

• <div><p>Copper roof strips offer better coverage and more damage protection than zinc roof strips. Although both deter moss and algae growth, copper also offers UV protection. Zinc strips require more strips than copper to cover the roof&rsquo;s surface area, which means more holes in your roof. Copper strips are also more flexible and last longer than zinc strips.</p></div>

Q: What credit score is needed for a roof?

• <div><p>If you choose to get a personal loan to finance a roof, you will want to aim for a &ldquo;good&rdquo; or &ldquo;excellent&rdquo; credit score for the best rates. That means a credit score of 690 or more. If you aren&rsquo;t sure of your credit score, you can request one free credit report per year from each of the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Many banks also provide free credit reports monthly.</p></div>

Q: Does paint damage shingles?

• <div><p>You can damage your shingles if you use the wrong type of paint on them. You should always use acrylic latex paint specifically formulated for shingles. Other types of paint may trap moisture, which can cause bigger problems like rot and mildew. Considering that <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-roof-replacement-cost.htm">roof replacement costs</a> $9,100 on average, it&rsquo;s definitely best to avoid making this mistake.</p><p>Besides using the right paint, remember that painting your shingles will require increased maintenance.</p></div>

Q: How many squares is a 2,000 square foot roof?

• <div><p>The formula for calculating how many squares of roofing you need is pretty easy. Take the total amount of square footage and divide it by 100. With this formula in mind, a 2,000-square-foot roof would require 20 squares of roofing material to adequately cover it.</p></div>
