Q: Can you put new shingles over old shingles?

• <div><p>You can put new shingles over old shingles, but most municipalities only allow for two layers of shingles before you have to rip off the old roof and start fresh. In some areas, only a single layer of shingles is allowed due to the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-a-bundle-of-shingles-weigh.htm">weight a bundle of shingles</a> adds to your structure. In most cases, it&rsquo;s a good idea to remove your old shingles before you install new shingles, especially if you suspect that a roof leak may have compromised the decking underneath.</p></div>

Q: What is the warranty on algae-resistant shingles?

• <div><p>The warranty for algae-resistant shingles varies by manufacturer, but the industry standard is 25 years for overall shingle durability and lifespan and between 10 and 15 years for algae resistance. Some products come with longer warranties for discoloration of up to 30 years. Check warranty coverage for the shingle and algae protection before deciding on a roofing product.</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: Why do asphalt shingles blister?

• <div><p>Asphalt shingles blister when air gets trapped between building materials, either within the layers of the shingle itself or in adhesives on the undersides of the shingles. As the roof heats up in direct sunlight, the trapped gas expands and creates a bubble in the roof. Eventually, the bubble can pop, leaving an exposed area of decking and underlayment.</p></div>

Q: Will solar panels put holes in my roof?

• <div><p>Installing solar panels involves drilling small holes in your roof to secure the solar panel mounting brackets. These brackets hold the solar panels in place and must withstand strong weather conditions so they&rsquo;re secured into your roof. However, holes and screws are sealed to prevent leaking and further damage.</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.
