Q: What is the typical lifespan of a roof?

• <div><p>A roof's lifespan can range from 15 to 200 years, with an average of 25 to 50 years, depending heavily on the material, quality of installation, maintenance, and local climate. Asphalt shingle roofs are common and typically last 15 to 30 years; three-tab shingles have a lifespan of about 20 years, while architectural shingles can last up to 30. More durable materials have longer lifespans: metal roofs last 30 to 100 years, clay and concrete can last 50 to 100 years, and slate roofs can last up to 200 years with proper care. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning gutters and replacing damaged shingles, is crucial for extending the life of any roof.</p></div>

Q: What is the proper way to lay shingles?

• <div><p>The most important thing to remember when laying shingles is to work from the bottom of the slope to the top. This leaves you with a top overlap that directs runoff from one row to the next until it reaches the eave for disposal. You should also make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions and the local building code for nailing patterns and frequency so all of your hard work stays put through varying weather conditions.</p></div>

Q: Can impact-resistant roofs lower your homeowners insurance?

• <div><p>Yes, impact-resistant roofs can lower your homeowners insurance. Some insurance companies offer discounts or reduced rates if you use Class 4 or Class 3 shingles.</p></div>

Q: How long will a green roof last?

• <div><p>Green roofs are incredibly long-lasting. Some have life spans of up to 40 or 50 years. Since the roofs help to protect the rest of your home's roofing system, they can also extend the life of your existing roof.</p><p>Regular maintenance and inspections will help you get the most out of your green roof and ensure it lasts as long as possible.</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>

"I called them on Monday to get an estimate. They where very happy to come out the same day or the next day but because of my schedule they couldn't come out until Wednesday. They came did the estimate called me to let me know what the price was and that I needed new vents for my mobile home. The next day Thursday they came out that morning and by 330pm they where finished with repairing my roof. Replacing my vents and striping the roof from the original roof. They even cleaned everything up. Super nice people and very professional. I love how pretty my new roof looks. He let me know that if anything happens call them asap and they will be right out to fix it. But that I shouldn't have any issues from here on out with my roof leaking. I appreciate how fast they came and that the estimate they gave me they stayed true to it and didn't try to raise the price. In actuality they had cut the price down from what they originally quoted me. Thanks for all your hard work."
