Q: What are the four types of roof decking?

• <div><p>The four types of roof sheathing are plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), planks, and tone-and-groove boards. The overwhelming majority of homes use the first two (especially OSB) and the other two are not often seen outside of special use cases. Methods of sheathing include solid sheathing, open sheathing where there are gaps, and plank sheathing. Most roofs are solid sheathing.</p></div>

Q: What size staples are best for roof shingles?

• <div><p><b>16-gauge galvanized steel staples</b> with a minimum crown of <b>15/16 inches</b> or <b>24 millimeters</b> are occasionally used to install shingles. However, most shingle manufacturers or residential building codes don&rsquo;t recommend staples as a roofing fastener. Roofing nails are preferred in most cases, especially in areas that get a lot of heavy wind.</p></div>

Q: Can I negotiate the terms of the roofing estimate with the contractor?

• <div><p>Whether or not the terms of your roofing estimate are negotiable depends on the contractor. Some professional roofers will be willing to budge on labor fees to some extent, while others will simply walk away from the potential work rather than lower their fees. In most cases, it&rsquo;s best not to negotiate the terms, as lower labor charges could lead to your contractor cutting corners. Material costs aren&rsquo;t negotiable, but you could purchase them yourself to try to save on delivery fees and markups.</p></div>

Q: Do gable vents let water in?

• <div><p>Yes, gable vents can let water in. That being said, this usually only occurs during extreme conditions like heavy rainfall. You can prevent water from entering through gable vents by adding a screen that traps the water before it can enter.</p></div>

Q: How do you prevent wind damage to your roof?

• <div><p>The best way to prevent wind damage to your roof, especially if you live in an area prone to hurricanes, tropical storms, or tornadoes, is to invest in a roofing product with high wind resistance. Look for the ASTM D3161 and ASTM D7158 ratings to see the specific wind speeds your roofing product can withstand. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/impact-resistant-roof.htm">Impact-resistant shingles</a> have the highest wind resistance ratings and will give you the best chance of avoiding wind damage.</p></div>

"We hired The Other Guys Construction for drywall and painting services in our baby's nursery, and we are so glad we did! I am very OCD and meticulous, so home repairs are always very stressful for me, but I was so impressed by the job they did and how nice they were to work with. We ran into a situation after we had already paid where I noticed some spots that needed touchups (the room has very bad lighting), and they were kind enough to come back and fix it free of charge. That said a lot to us about the way they do business... they take pride in their work and have a lot of integrity as a company. We will definitely be utilizing their services again and recommending them to all of our friends."
