Q: How serious is a roof leak?

• <div><p>Roof leaks develop quickly and can cause serious damage to your house and in extreme cases, quite nearly ruin it. Roof leaks have been known to affect even the foundations of a home, so taking care of any issues as soon as they pop up&mdash;or even before&mdash;is of the utmost importance.</p></div>

Q: How long does a shingle roof last?

• <div><p>Shingle roofing can last anywhere from 15 to 50 years, depending on the type and quality of shingle, your local climate, and how well you maintain your roof. If you live in an area that sees extreme weather, like strong winds, hail storms, or hurricanes, the average life span of a shingle roof will often be on the shorter end, especially if you choose a more affordable roof shingle that isn&rsquo;t designed to persist through extreme weather. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a hip and ridge on a roof?

• <div><p>The ridge is the horizontal line where two sloping roof sections meet at the top, forming the highest point of the roof. A hip, on the other hand, is the external angle formed where two roof sections meet and slope downward toward the walls, typically at a lower angle than the ridge. The ridge runs horizontally along the peak and the hip runs diagonally from the peak to the roof's edges.</p></div>

Q: Should there be a gap between the roof and the wall?

• <div><p>There should be small gaps between your roof and the walls of your home, and other buildings. These small gaps let building materials shift, expand, and contract with weather and other outside forces, and they prevent moisture from wicking down walls from roofing and gutter systems. Without these strategic gaps, your home&rsquo;s exterior and its finishes can sustain water damage, decay, peel, delaminate, and crack. However, there is a fine line between a smart gap and a problematic gap&mdash;all gaps should be small, intentional, and covered or filled in with foam insulation to prevent pests from using them as access points.</p></div>

Q: Does shoveling your roof prevent ice dams?

• <div><p>Removing snow from your roof can help prevent ice dams, but the best thing to do is address insulation issues in your attic. If you do decide to remove the snow manually, you should always use a roof rake rather than a shovel. You shouldn&rsquo;t climb your snowy roof in any circumstance, and roof rake allows you to remove the snow from the ground or a ladder. For the best results, remove snow as soon as possible after it falls.</p></div>
