Q: How long do architectural shingles last and how often should they be replaced?

• <div><p>Architectural shingles typically last between 20 and 30 years. While some manufacturers provide warranties for 30 to 50 years, particularly for extreme weather, achieving such a long lifespan is uncommon. The actual life of your shingles can be shorter if you live in an area prone to strong winds, hailstorms, or other severe weather. To avoid the risk of roof failure and costly water damage from leaks, it is recommended to replace your roof before it reaches the end of its expected life. Scheduling regular roof inspections every few years is a good way to assess your roof's condition and determine the best timeline for replacement.</p></div>

Q: How much damage does a roof need to be replaced?

• <div><p>In general, you should consider <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-roof-replacement-cost.htm">replacing your roof</a> if more than 30% of it is damaged. This includes several missing shingles, large spots of granule loss, extreme curling or cracking, structural damage to the roof's decking, or multiple areas of leaks. All of these issues could indicate compromised structural integrity that requires roof replacement. </p></div>

Q: How much snow can a roof handle?

• <div><p>A roof's ability to handle snow depends on its strength and the snow's weight, as wet snow is much heavier than dry, fluffy snow. While designs in snowy regions often allow for 35 to 50 pounds per square foot, a general guideline is that a typical roof can withstand about four feet of fresh snow, two feet of packed snow, or just one inch of ice. Factors like the roof's age, slope, and support structure also affect its capacity; newer, sloped roofs generally hold more weight than older, flat ones. Ice and ice dams add significant, dangerous weight. Because capacity varies, it is best to contact a professional roofing contractor or the original builder to determine the maximum snow load for your specific home.</p></div>

Q: Does a new roof add value to a home?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-new-roof-increase-home-value.htm">a new roof will add value to your home</a>, often providing a return on investment (ROI) of between <b>60% and 70%</b>. Not only will a new roof boost curb appeal, but savvy homebuyers will also know that a new roof means they won&rsquo;t have to worry about roof leaks and related damage for years after closing. They&rsquo;ll also know that they&rsquo;ll save money by potentially having decades before they need to worry about paying for repairs or replacement.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between wood shakes and shingles?

• <div><p>While the terms are often used interchangeably, wood shakes and wood shingles have notable differences, primarily in their manufacturing and appearance. Wood shingles are machine-cut on both sides, resulting in a smooth, thin, and uniform product. In contrast, wood shakes are typically hand-split or sawed on only one side, giving them a more textured, natural, and rustic appearance. Due to these manufacturing differences, shakes are generally thicker, heavier, and less uniform than shingles. They are also more expensive. Homeowners seeking a more rustic aesthetic often choose shakes, while those preferring a more uniform look may opt for shingles. Both are installed in an overlapping pattern to create a durable, weather-resistant roof.</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."
