Q: What are the benefits of wood shake roofing?

• <div><p>Wood shake roofs are durable, energy-efficient, and offer a natural aesthetic. Composite options provide similar looks with less maintenance.</p></div>

Q: Should you close or cover gable vents in the winter?

• <div><p>No, you should not close or cover your gable vents in the winter. While it might seem logical to block cold air, heating your home creates hot air that rises and can cause condensation in the attic. If the vents are covered, this moisture becomes trapped, creating an ideal environment for mold and mildew. Keeping the gable vents open ensures proper ventilation, which helps dry out the attic, maintain even temperatures, and prevent moisture-related damage.</p></div>

Q: Can you add flashing to an existing roof?

• <div><p>Depending on the condition of your roof, you may be able to add flashing to it. If you&rsquo;re looking for a way to maintain its integrity while saving some money, you should ask a roofing pro if this is an option. Keep in mind that if your roof is in poor shape, a full replacement may be necessary before flashing is installed. </p></div>

Q: What does wind damage to shingles look like?

• <div><p>Shingle damage comes in many forms, and the damage usually depends on the wind speed and the shape of the roof before the winds. Typically, when shingles are damaged by wind, they become torn, creased, or detached from the roof. Some might go missing entirely. More extensive roof damage might occur if a tree branch or other debris has fallen onto the roof as a result of the windstorm.</p></div>

Q: How much weight can a gable roof hold?

• <div><p>A standard roof can hold a live load of about 20 pounds per square foot. However, gable roofs often have steeper-than-average slopes, so calculating their weight capacity can be challenging. If the slope of your gable roof is greater than 4:12, the live load needs to be decreased to allow for a larger dead load. Ask your roofer exactly how much weight your roof can support.</p></div>

Jacob and his team of professionals came out to evaluate the concerns of my tree. He insured me that the job will get done without any issues. Jacob performed a crown reduction on my elm trees and the cleanup was spotless afterwards. I would use them again as well as recommend them to others.
