Q: What are the three types of rafters?

• <div><p>The principal, common, and auxiliary rafters are the most frequently used types of rafters. Principal rafters are large and typically appear toward the edges of the roof. Common rafters are smaller than principal rafters. Some people may use a mix of common and principal rafters. The auxiliary rafter is not common, but it provides extra reinforcement for a principal rafter on a large building.</p></div>

Q: Does flashing go over or under shingles?

• <div><p>Generally, roof flashing is installed under the shingles to create a watertight seal and prevent moisture from seeping in and causing damage. However, the exact placement can depend on the type of flashing. For instance, with step flashing, the shingles and flashing overlap each other, meaning the flashing is technically both over and under the shingles. Flashing also typically goes beneath the house siding and is often not visible from the ground.</p></div>

Q: Is torch down roofing the same as rolled roofing?

• <div><p>Generally, the term &ldquo;rolled roofing&rdquo; refers to MSR (mineral surface roll) roofing. This type of roofing is similar to asphalt shingles but comes in a roll that&rsquo;s unraveled and installed over your roof deck. There are many types of rolled roofing, including TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen roofing (aka torch down roofing).</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a hip and ridge on a roof?

• <div><p>The ridge is the horizontal line where two sloping roof sections meet at the top, forming the highest point of the roof. A hip, on the other hand, is the external angle formed where two roof sections meet and slope downward toward the walls, typically at a lower angle than the ridge. The ridge runs horizontally along the peak and the hip runs diagonally from the peak to the roof's edges.</p></div>
