Q: How can you hang Christmas lights on a roof that doesn't have gutters?

• <div><p>If your home doesn't have gutters, you can still hang Christmas lights on the roof using specialized clips. Use roof clips designed to attach to shingles or fascia. For tile roofs or the edges of the rooftop, consider using parrot clips. Adhesive light-hanging clips are also a great option. It's important to avoid using nails or staples, as they can damage your roofing material. For unique or complex installations, it's best to consult a professional Christmas light installer to find the safest and most effective solution for your home.</p></div>

Q: What is a good roof slope for snow?

• <div><p>The most common slope range for roofs on houses in snowy areas is between <b>4/12 and 6/12</b>, or <b>50%</b>. A roof with a slope of less than <b>10%</b>, or roughly a<b> 2/12 pitch</b>, won&rsquo;t be effective at shedding snow. However, roofs that are too steep can allow large amounts of snow to build up and fall all at once, creating a hazard for those on the ground. </p></div>

Q: How many squares is a 2,000 square foot roof?

• <div><p>The formula for calculating how many squares of roofing you need is pretty easy. Take the total amount of square footage and divide it by 100. With this formula in mind, a 2,000-square-foot roof would require 20 squares of roofing material to adequately cover it.</p></div>

Q: Does roof overhang count as square footage?

• <div><p>The roof overhang, also known as the eaves, does count as part of the roof&rsquo;s square footage because it must be covered with the roofing material. The overhang is one of the reasons why you can&rsquo;t base your roof's square footage on the square footage of the house. The roof square footage must also account for the pitch of the roof as well as the eaves.</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>

"Aden Delagrange and his construction crew did a great job on our porch project. They poured a new concrete pad, constructed a large pole-structure porch with standing seam metal roof, and installed a new patio french door. Through all this, Aden was very communicative and responsive to all my questions. He is easy to reach by phone. The crew is patient and spend time discussing the customer's options before beginning work. The project was completed on time and within budget. I have experience working with various contractors, and D&L impressed me with their quality of framing. Nothing was done sloppily or rushed. Everything was square, clean cut, and to our specifications. I would trust D&L to do any type of concrete, framing, or metal roofing project you may have. 5/5 stars."
