Q: How do you prevent wind damage to your roof?

• <div><p>The best way to prevent wind damage to your roof, especially if you live in an area prone to hurricanes, tropical storms, or tornadoes, is to invest in a roofing product with high wind resistance. Look for the ASTM D3161 and ASTM D7158 ratings to see the specific wind speeds your roofing product can withstand. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/impact-resistant-roof.htm">Impact-resistant shingles</a> have the highest wind resistance ratings and will give you the best chance of avoiding wind damage.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install a drip edge on an existing roof?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-cost-drip-edge-install-roof.htm#:~:text=Installing%20drip%20edge%20costs%20about,whether%20you%20hire%20a%20pro.">cost to install a drip edge on an existing roof</a> runs about $1 to $3 per linear foot, which comes out to between $150 and $1,000, with an average cost of $575. These are just averages; the total project price can vary depending on the type of drip edge chosen and whether you hire a professional for the installation. Factors like roof size, complexity, and labor rates also play a role in determining the final cost.</p></div>

Q: What is a flat roof suitable for?

• <div><p>Flat roofs are a solid option for people who want extra outdoor space. Flat roofs are very common in other parts of the world and only recently has the U.S. started to see the benefit in the increased space. Flat roofs are also easier to maintain and pose much less of a safety risk, which allows for more DIY work for handy homeowners. Some people also build green or living roofs that grow plant life. </p></div>

Q: Why shouldn't you put solar panels on your roof?

• <div><p>A few disadvantages of installing solar panels on your roof include the high up-front costs and the potential for increased property taxes. Installing solar panels can increase the home&rsquo;s value, which in turn can mean higher taxes. Depending on your area, you should check with your local tax offices for more information. Another potential pitfall is roof leaks from a poor installation, but this shouldn&rsquo;t be an issue if you hire a reputable company.</p></div>

Q: Can you negotiate roofing payment terms with a contractor?

• <div><p>You can negotiate roofing payment terms with a contractor, but if you&rsquo;re working with a reliable, trustworthy roofing contractor, the quote they gave you is probably fair. It&rsquo;s often not worth haggling over the cost of the job unless you feel it is particularly unfair. If you do, get quotes from other roofing companies to compare prices. </p></div>

"I was very impressed with the efficiency of JL construction. I had a lot of damage to the north side of my roof, two porches, and garage they had to raise the roof, tear out and put in new roof rafters, put in new roof, and then shingles. I also had inside work to do. They were done in a timely manner with excellent work I have four bids for the job. JL Construction’s bid was closest to the insurance appraiser. Plus the other 3 bids were only for Roof . I would recommend JL construction to anyone looking for a contractor who does everything?"
