Q: How do I apply for a roofing permit?

• <div><p>To apply for a roofing permit, contact your local building authority. You may visit their office in person or contact them via phone or email. For more information on how to start the process, visit their website. </p></div>

Q: Do gutter guards void a roof warranty?

• <div><p>The installation may have been done correctly. However, improperly installed gutter guards can easily damage your shingles. Also, cheap gutter guards rarely come with installation fixtures. In the worst cases, they simply ask you to nail the guards in, which would sabotage your roof&rsquo;s water resistance and thus void the warranty. To be sure, always check with your home warranty provider before making any modifications.</p></div>

Q: Why do copper roofs turn green?

• <div><p>The green coloration that develops on copper roofs is called a &ldquo;patina,&rdquo; and it&rsquo;s a result of mild oxidation on the surface. The oxidation process is not harmful to your roof. In fact, the surface corrosion acts as a protective layer and won&rsquo;t spread to the core of your copper roof materials. The discoloration will progress much more quickly in damp or humid climates than it will in dry climates. If you don&rsquo;t like the green color, you can seal your roof to preserve the shiny, rose-gold look.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t stagger shingles?

• <div><p>Asphalt shingles have varying thicknesses across the length, so failing to stagger shingles from one row to the next will leave you with bulges and bumps if the thicker sections stack on top of each other. Not only is this unappealing, but it increases the risk of water intrusion. Stagger each new row by 6 inches to avoid this issue.</p></div>

Q: What is the best pitch for a porch roof?

• <div><p>The minimum recommended slope for a porch roof is 1/4:12, which means 1/4-inch of rise every 12 inches of run. Slopes of 3:12 and 4:12 are more common and provide faster drainage for runoff. Make sure to choose a pitch that&rsquo;s appropriate both for the climate in your area and the type of roof material you install. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-choosing-roofing-contractor.htm">Hire a roofer</a> if you need help determining what the right roof pitch is. </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.
