Q: Can hail damage a tar and gravel roof?

• <div><p>Hail is unlikely to damage a tar and gravel roof because the hailstones will hit the protective gravel rather than your delicate roof membrane. A tar and gravel roof is the most resilient flat roof option, which means it&rsquo;s the best one for areas that see hail, fallen tree debris, and blown debris from intense winds.</p></div>

Q: Does a metal roof over shingles require an underlayment?

• <div><p>Underlayment is used between existing shingles and a new metal roof to prevent friction and wear from the shingle granules on the underside of the metal. The underlayment also helps prevent water intrusion and allows expansion and contraction without wearing away at the roofing material.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to use underlayment under metal roofing?

• <div><p>Yes, an underlayment is required for metal roofs, especially when installed over an indoor residential living space. This underlayment acts as a protective barrier between the metal roofing and the roof deck. Common materials include tar, asphalt felt, or woven synthetic polymers. Depending on local building codes, existing shingles in good condition may also suffice. A quality underlayment is crucial as it provides protection against water intrusion, improves energy efficiency through insulation, helps absorb sound, and ultimately extends the lifespan of your roof.</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>

Q: What is the difference between cedar shakes and cedar shingles?

• <div><p>Though cedar shakes often get confused with shingles, there are a few key differences between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wood-shake-vs-shingle.htm">wood shakes and wood shingles.</a> For one, cedar shingle prices are lower, although shingles are less durable than wood shakes. Cedar shakes are thicker than shingles (shingles range from about 3/8 to 1/2 inches thick, compared to 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick for shakes). Wood shakes are handmade, while shingles are usually machine-made. Also, wood shakes work better on steeper roofs than shingles do. While the cost of cedar shingles is more budget-friendly, there are many great reasons to choose shakes.</p></div>
