Q: Do roofers need to come inside my home?

• <div><p>While you don&rsquo;t have to let roofers inside your home, it is proper etiquette to offer the use of your restrooms. And if it&rsquo;s a hot day, it&rsquo;s polite to invite the roofers into your house to cool off and have a chilled drink. </p></div>

Q: Do all houses have eaves?

• <div><p>Some homes, like those with flat roofs, may not have eaves at all. Some contemporary-style homes also lack eaves, although many may have abbreviated eaves to divert water and protect the walls and foundation. Homes without eaves often have specific <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choose-right-gutters-your-home.htm">types of gutters</a> affixed directly to the edge of the roof to provide adequate drainage.</p></div>

Q: What are the recommended thickness and spacing for furring strips on a metal roof?

• <div><p>The proper specifications for furring strips can vary, so you should always consult the roofing manufacturer's guidelines or your roofer. However, general recommendations are as follows:</p><ul><li><p><b>Thickness:</b> Furring strips are typically 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick, meaning standard 1-by or 2-by lumber works well. In areas with extreme winds, a thinner strip may be preferred to limit how much air can get under the roof and cause uplift. A thicker strip can add slightly more insulation but will also increase installation costs.</p></li><li><p><b>Spacing:</b> The recommended spacing for furring strips is between 12 and 24 inches apart on center. Proper spacing is crucial for ensuring good airflow, adequate drainage, noise reduction, and better energy efficiency. The ideal spacing can depend on the roof's pitch and the specific type of metal roofing being installed.</p></li></ul></div>

Q: How many squares of shingles fit in a dumpster?

• <div><p>The size of the dumpster will determine how many squares of shingles can fit in a dumpster. You can place between 4 to 20 squares of shingles in most standard containers.</p></div>

Q: How long do gable roofs last?

• <div><p>Gable roof construction can last for 100 years or more without needing structural repairs, although the lifespan depends on your climate. Since gable roofs are great at shedding rain and snow, the actual roofing material on top will last for between 20 and 100 years or more, depending on the material you choose. If you&rsquo;re unsure that your gable roof is up to par, have a roof inspector take a look.</p></div>
