Q: How far apart should roof tiles be?

• <div><p>Gaps between tiles are necessary to help with weatherproofing, allow for thermal expansion, and increase wind resistance. In general, a small gap no larger than 3 millimeters wide will encourage proper drainage and limit cracking. Beyond that, tiles should overlap a minimum of 3 inches, except at the eaves where they should extend to the center of the gutter.</p></div>

Q: Can I keep my old roof if I build a second story?

• <div><p>Sometimes. Professionals may be able to remove the old roof and re-attach it when completed, depending on your blueprints. That can help you save money. But this method is not without its risks. Larger roofs may crack during the transportation process. And if the roof is old or has problems, it may be better to replace it entirely. Keeping the old roof isn&rsquo;t always possible if you are making significant alterations to the roofline. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to frame a roof?

• <div><p>Framing a roof can take from several days to a week or more, depending on the size and complexity of the roof, the number of people working on the framing, weather conditions, and more. Roof framing is often the final step of framing a house, although in some cases, the roof may be framed before the interior of the home in order to offer more protection from the elements.</p></div>

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: Who installs green roofs?

• <div><p>When <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-choosing-roofing-contractor.htm">choosing a roofer</a> to install a green roof, look for someone with experience who specializes in green roofs. Rather than looking for a standard roofing contractor, you'll want to find a company that specifically offers green roofs. That company will have people on staff, such as a landscape architect, who understand the types of plants that thrive on rooftops.</p></div>

No complaints other than it was a little more expensive than I had predicted. Had a utility sink removed and the water pipes capped. Effective and timely work.
