Q: Do all houses have eaves?

• <div><p>Some homes, like those with flat roofs, may not have eaves at all. Some contemporary-style homes also lack eaves, although many may have abbreviated eaves to divert water and protect the walls and foundation. Homes without eaves often have specific <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choose-right-gutters-your-home.htm">types of gutters</a> affixed directly to the edge of the roof to provide adequate drainage.</p></div>

Q: How do I secure my roof decorations for Christmas?

• <div><p>You can secure roof decorations like inflatables and other Christmas decor by tying a rope or attacking bungee cords to your roof clips. Depending on the pitch of your roof, you can use sandbags for extra support. Like with Christmas lights, avoid using staples or duct tape. </p></div>

Q: How do I know if I need new roofing underlayment?

• <div><p>There are several signs that indicate you&rsquo;ll need new underlayment. Clear signs include missing or damaged roofing and exposing the underlayment to the elements. Additionally, if you notice water damage in your home by the roof after a storm, it could indicate that your underlayment may need to be replaced. If your gutters aren&rsquo;t draining properly, it could also lead to rotting or water damage to the underlayment.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between roof blistering and hail damage?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/roof-blistering-vs-hail-damage.htm">Roof blistering and hail damage</a> are different in their physical appearance. Blistering, often caused by inadequate ventilation, low-quality material, and improper installation, looks like large, irregular bubbles popping out of your roof. Meanwhile, hail damage is usually circular or oval dents entering your roof and often follows the same path as the hail storm. </p></div>

"i am seeking other quotes and I feel like 10,000 to just add ventilation to the attic with out having to cut in the roof is to much. I was expecting $5000,00 maybe even 6000,00 but the quote was above what i expected to spend this year. if i get the same quotes from other contractors i will wait until next year so that i can be prepared to pay the cost in full. i do not want to go with wells fargo only to pay interest on top of the 10,000."
