Q: What is the most common defect in a flat roof?

• <div><p>The most common defect in a flat roof is leaking. Flat roofs have minimal slope, so water pools more readily on a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/flat-roof-better-sloped-roof.htm">flat roof than on a sloped roof</a>, and the risk of the waterproof membrane failing increases with exposure. Tears and punctures from foot traffic and blown debris are other common problems, especially with single-ply roofing membranes like TPO and EPDM roofs.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between re-roofing and roof replacement?

• <div><p>Re-roofing is the process of placing a layer of shingles over top of existing shingles, rather than pulling out those shingles and replacing them. Compared to a full roof replacement, re-roofing typically costs less and requires less labor and time. It's not an option for everyone, though. You may need a full roof replacement if your roof already has more than one layer of shingles. A full replacement may also be necessary if your roof has extensive damage. </p></div>

Q: How do I know if my roof vent boot is leaking?

• <div><p>The easiest way to tell if your roof vent boot is leaking is to look in your attic for signs of water damage. You might see visible moisture, water spots, or mold on the roof decking around the roof vent or damaged or soggy insulation below it. If you don&rsquo;t have access to your attic or aren&rsquo;t sure if the vent boot is the issue, hire a professional to come inspect your roof and figure out the underlying issue.</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: Do metal roofs insulate better than shingle roofs?

• <div><p>Asphalt roofs provide better insulation than metal roofs, but that doesn&rsquo;t always mean that asphalt roofs are better for reducing heating and cooling bills. In hotter climates, metal roofs will usually be better for home efficiency because the material reflects more sunlight and reduces solar heat gain. In colder climates, asphalt roofs are sometimes superior in terms of efficiency because they introduce more solar heat gain to your home and have greater insulating capabilities. However, metal roofs installed with an air gap can provide similar levels of insulation.</p></div>
