"I hired Shane for a roof replacement on a duplex in the west side of Springfield. He was professional and courteous with excellent communication skills. He kept me informed about the job every step of the way with photo and video documentation. He worked with me when issues arose. He was quick to respond after the job was over with my questions and to check for damage after the storm. His prices were the best too. As a property investor I have worked with many contractors and Shane stands out as one of the best I have ever worked with"

Roofing questions, answered by experts

Generally, roof flashing is installed under the shingles to create a watertight seal and prevent moisture from seeping in and causing damage. However, the exact placement can depend on the type of flashing. For instance, with step flashing, the shingles and flashing overlap each other, meaning the flashing is technically both over and under the shingles. Flashing also typically goes beneath the house siding and is often not visible from the ground.

The roof overhang, also known as the eaves, does count as part of the roof’s square footage because it must be covered with the roofing material. The overhang is one of the reasons why you can’t base your roof's square footage on the square footage of the house. The roof square footage must also account for the pitch of the roof as well as the eaves.

DIY is not recommended, as slate requires specialized handling and proper underlayment installation for durability.

The minimum recommended slope for a porch roof is 1/4:12, which means 1/4-inch of rise every 12 inches of run. Slopes of 3:12 and 4:12 are more common and provide faster drainage for runoff. Make sure to choose a pitch that’s appropriate both for the climate in your area and the type of roof material you install. Hire a roofer if you need help determining what the right roof pitch is.

Sometimes, a local authority won’t approve a request for a roofing permit. This may be because of incomplete documentation, unclear project plans, processing delays, or insufficient communication. There may also be discrepancies with building codes.
