Q: Does algae hurt roof shingles?

• <div><p>While spotting a bit of algae on your roof may not bother you at first glance, it is certainly bothering your roof shingles. The presence of algae can cause decay and shorten the lifespan of your roof&rsquo;s shingles, which can lead to much bigger problems down the road. While this issue may seem cosmetic at first glance, it goes much deeper than that.</p></div>

Q: What is the easiest roof to build?

• <div><p>The easiest type of roof to build is a shed-style or lean-to roof, which features a single sloping plane from one side of the building to the other. Unlike a gable roof with two sides meeting in the middle, a shed roof's single slope makes the construction process more straightforward. The rafters are typically single pieces of wood that span the distance, often without the need for additional supports.</p></div>

Q: Does shingle warranty cover wind damage?

• <div><p>Most manufacturers&rsquo; warranties do not cover wind damage to roof shingles, but some companies include a wind warranty rider in their warranty offer. You can purchase this rider to protect yourself, your wallet, and your roof from any damage that might occur from wind. Be sure to read all the fine print and understand any limitations of the warranty.</p></div>

Q: How much snow can a roof handle?

• <div><p>A roof's ability to handle snow depends on its strength and the snow's weight, as wet snow is much heavier than dry, fluffy snow. While designs in snowy regions often allow for 35 to 50 pounds per square foot, a general guideline is that a typical roof can withstand about four feet of fresh snow, two feet of packed snow, or just one inch of ice. Factors like the roof's age, slope, and support structure also affect its capacity; newer, sloped roofs generally hold more weight than older, flat ones. Ice and ice dams add significant, dangerous weight. Because capacity varies, it is best to contact a professional roofing contractor or the original builder to determine the maximum snow load for your specific home.</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>

Josh helped me build 3 cabins to use as AirBnBs and did an outstanding job. He did everything from start to finish: framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, tile, flooring, trim…etc. He is reliable, hard working and trustworthy. If he still lived in my area, he is the first guy I’d call when I...

"I had several bids from different companies and a fairly restrictive time frame. Vantage Point Exteriors was able to meet that time frame. Originally, I was only going to repaint and replace the roof and ended up getting everything taken care of instead once it became clear that for just a bit more I could get it all taken care of at one time. My home looks great and I do not have to worry about these items for a long awhile.

"The provider requested OK from Choice Warranty and he was denied. It rained last night and rain came into my home. It could have been avoided if Choice had just approved what I requested. Now, the damage will be greater than necessary. I blame Choice home warranty for my home damage. Now it will cost mote than a simple tarp could have prevented until I could get money to repair roof. The provider was great and tried his best to get something done to my roof but Choice Warranty was horrible and no help. They get a "zero" from me"
