Chimney Caps questions, answered by experts

A roof replacement will usually include removal of your old roof, shingle replacement, and a new roof underlayment, but it may only include adding new shingles if you’re layering new shingles over the old shingles. If you have signs of roof leaks or your roofer finds water damage to the roof decking underneath your old roof, it can also include replacement of the OSB or plywood decking that lays over your rafters and supports the roofing material above.

Technically a flat roof can be raised but it’s extremely expensive and there would not be much of a point. Most homeowners raise the roof in their homes to access the space between their existing ceiling and the roof but flat roofs don’t have this space. Therefore, you can raise a flat roof, but it involves heavy structural modification.

A chimney liner is typically easier to install by pushing it down through the chimney with the help of a rope. Depending on your fireplace and the type of liner, installing it by pushing it up through the chimney could work, but operating from the top down is usually the best option.

The recommended spacing for furring strips is 12 to 24 inches apart. Proper furring strip spacing allows for good airflow, improved drainage, noise reduction, and better energy efficiency. Furring strip spacing can vary based on the roof’s pitch and the type of metal roof, so consult the manufacturer or your roofer for the correct spacing.

There are several pros and cons of flat roofs. One disadvantage of flat roofs is that you lose potential attic space because it's flat. Flat roofs tend to pool water and because they lack an angle, any leak in the roof—usually due to a bad seal—has the potential to let in a lot of water. They don’t work well in climates with snow. Flat roofs are also structurally weaker than sloped roofs.
