Q: Is torch down roofing the same as rolled roofing?

• <div><p>Generally, the term &ldquo;rolled roofing&rdquo; refers to MSR (mineral surface roll) roofing.

Q: What are some disadvantages of a wooden shake roof?

• <div><p>Wooden roofs require regular maintenance, are prone to rot and mold, and are frequently the target of insect infestations. Natural wood is also excellent at absorbing and storing moisture&mdash;not a positive. In climates where the weather shifts dramatically, the wood can also crack, split, or warp.</p></div>

Q: How do you seal a roof vent boot?

• <div><p>You can use silicone caulk around the upper lip of your roof vent boot to seal it temporarily, or you can slide a repair sleeve over the roof vent and old vent boot to stop air and water leaks temporarily. However, these aren&rsquo;t permanent solutions, so you should always hire a professional to come out and replace the roof vent boot for a long-lasting fix and peace of mind.</p></div>

Q: Does Trex warp?

• <div><p>Unlike wood decks, Trex decking doesn&rsquo;t warp. That&rsquo;s one of the key benefits of installing this decking material. Over time, common issues with these decks include hard water stains, mold or mildew growth, and stains from food spills. Thankfully, with proper cleaning, you can get rid of most stains and mold.</p></div>
