Q: Do you need permission to raise your roof?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;re going to need a permit for nearly every roof-raising project. This is a very important step, as the work you&rsquo;re doing has serious safety considerations. Professionals are the ones to handle this type of work&mdash;including sourcing the permits&mdash;as they have the expertise required to perform the work safely. Insurance and warranty are usually voided if you do this work without a permit, and you may even be required to halt construction and tear it down as a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/common-problems-when-you-dont-pull-permit.htm">penalty for working without a building permit</a>. </p></div>

Q: What is the lifespan of a metal roof?

• <div><p>Metal roofs can last anywhere from 20 to 100 years or more when properly installed and maintained, depending on the metal type.

Lee and his son did an absolute perfect job. We had a 3 way switch that should have enabled us to shut the hall light off from either exit door. He walked back and forth until he figured our problem out. It was never wired correctly from the beginning. I was totally impressed with their effort....

The project went very well. Everything was done correctly. I had a lot of neighbors wanting the number for Central Iowa Roofing after they saw my roof! I was so glad that they could redo my gutters and downspouts to improve the efficiency.
