Q: Does a capped chimney need to be vented?

• <div><p>Yes, capped chimneys should still be vented. Failing to vent a chimney will result in condensation buildup inside the chimney, which commonly results in mold growth. If mold begins to grow in a chimney, it frequently goes undetected and spreads quickly through the home. Mold and moisture can damage the structural integrity of your home, and exposure to mold can cause discomfort and illness in residents. </p></div>

Q: What time of year is the least expensive to replace a roof?

• <div><p>Winter is the least expensive time of year to replace a roof due to decreased demand. However, it&rsquo;s not an ideal time to replace your roof, as there are numerous factors that can inhibit the work, including shorter days, snow and ice, and cold temperatures.</p></div>

Q: Is a drip edge necessary on a roof?

• <div><p>Yes, because it prevents water damage, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/8-common-problems-can-lead-pest-infestations.htm">deters pests</a> from accessing the roof decking, protects the roof from wind damage, and lengthens the roof's life. Plus, building codes require it. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to shingle a roof?

• <div><p>Stripping existing shingles and installing a new shingle roof takes a professional one to two days, and sometimes up to three days for larger roofs. Additional safety measures necessary for steep roofs can extend the timeframe even further, as do added measures, like replacing roof decking or reinforcing your roof structure to support heavier materials like slate or clay. </p></div>

Q: Does insurance cover soft spots on the roof?

• <div><p>Homeowners insurance does not usually cover roof soft spot repair. Since this damage is usually caused by wear and tear and often found on aging roofs, your insurance claim will likely be rejected. If a soft spot develops due to damage from a storm, repairs may be covered, but in general, expect to pay out of pocket for soft spot repairs. </p></div>
