Q: What is the most common defect in a flat roof?

• <div><p>The most common defect in a flat roof is leaking. Flat roofs have minimal slope, so water pools more readily on a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/flat-roof-better-sloped-roof.htm">flat roof than on a sloped roof</a>, and the risk of the waterproof membrane failing increases with exposure. Tears and punctures from foot traffic and blown debris are other common problems, especially with single-ply roofing membranes like TPO and EPDM roofs.</p></div>

Q: Do metal roofs insulate better than shingle roofs?

• <div><p>Asphalt roofs provide better insulation than metal roofs, but that doesn&rsquo;t always mean that asphalt roofs are better for reducing heating and cooling bills. In hotter climates, metal roofs will usually be better for home efficiency because the material reflects more sunlight and reduces solar heat gain. In colder climates, asphalt roofs are sometimes superior in terms of efficiency because they introduce more solar heat gain to your home and have greater insulating capabilities. However, metal roofs installed with an air gap can provide similar levels of insulation.</p></div>

Q: Can a roof blister cause a leak?

• <div><p>Yes, a roof blister can cause a leak if it gets to the point where it pops. Prior to popping, a roof blister is just an aesthetic issue, but once it pops, you&rsquo;re left with a small hole in the shingle. Water from rain and snow can easily get inside this hole and interact with your underlayment, roof decking, and the building material below.</p></div>

Q: How many snow guards do I need on my roof?

• <div><p>The number of snow guards you&rsquo;ll need on your roof depends on factors like the type of roof you have, its slope, the orientation of your home, and the snow load in your area. A local roofing professional or the snow guard manufacturer can help you determine the ideal amount.</p></div>

Q: Do metal roofs make your house hot?

• <div><p>No, a metal roof will not make your house hot. In fact, metal roofs help keep your home cooler by reflecting heat instead of absorbing and transmitting it inside. Metal also has high thermal conductivity, which means it gains and loses heat quickly. While the sun may heat the metal, the roof rapidly transfers that heat back into the air rather than retaining it. This reflective property can lead to energy cost savings of up to 40%, as your cooling system won't need to work as hard to maintain a consistent indoor temperature.</p></div>

"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"
