Q: How do you check if a roofing company is legit?

• <div><p>The best way to check if a roofing company is legit is by asking the roofer for their license number. They should have no issue providing you with this information if they&rsquo;re legitimate. You can also look to see if they have an online presence, read reviews, and ask contractors you&rsquo;ve worked with before if they know the roofing company.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best underlayment for a metal roof?

• <div><p>Just like when you&rsquo;re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/proper-installation-asphalt-roof-shingles.htm">shingling a roof</a>, you can install felt underlayment under a metal roof, but a synthetic underlayment like adhered ice and water shield is the best option. These use adhesives rather than mechanical fasteners, so you have fewer penetrations going through your roof deck and a lower risk of leaks. Ice and water shield is also easier to install because you don&rsquo;t need additional tools or fasteners to attach it to the roof deck. </p></div>

Q: How long should a shed roof last?

• <div><p>Most shed roofs can last between 15 and 30 years, although some roofing materials like slate and clay tile can last for 50 to 100 years. Choosing durable, waterproof roofing materials that can stand up to weather and the elements will help your shed roof last for years to come. Besides the noticeable signs that your shed roof needs to be replaced, it might also be worth replacing if it&rsquo;s near the end of its life span.</p></div>

Q: Can rain come in through ridge vents?

• <div><p>Rain shouldn&rsquo;t come in through your ridge vents unless your vents are damaged or the rain is accompanied by very high winds. Most ridge vents use flashing or baffling to keep out rain, snow, and debris. If your ridge vent isn&rsquo;t baffled, rain is more likely to enter your attic, so ridge vents with baffles are a better choice in areas with regular rainfall.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material for roof decking?

• <div><p>The best material to sheath a roof will depend on your budget and if you require the strength of more robust materials. For most homes, the added strength is unnecessary, and oriented strand board, or OSB, makes sense. It&rsquo;s inexpensive and robust enough for most roof types. Another popular but slightly more expensive option is plywood.</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.
