Q: Can you replace a roof in the winter?

• <div><p>You can replace a roof in the winter, though it&rsquo;s not the most popular time to do so. The biggest drawback of winter roofing work is the weather. Snow and ice make for dangerous, slippery working conditions. Plus, shingles can only be installed in temperatures above 40 to 45 degrees. </p><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-best-time-install-roof.htm">best time to replace a roof </a>is in the spring or fall when the weather is mild. However, you can likely save some money by booking the job in the winter off-season, when roofers have more availability. </p></div>

Q: How do you cap off a chimney flue?

• <div><p>To cap off a chimney flue, start by measuring its width, length, and diameter, if it&rsquo;s circular. Purchase a cap that fits the flue, and decide whether you want a temporary or permanent model. Then, slide or insert the cap onto the flue and secure it with a screwdriver. Be sure to avoid over-tightening the screws to prevent chimney damage. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a gable vent and a ridge vent?

• <div><p>Gable vents are more common in older homes built before the 1970s. Homes built after this era use ridge vents or soffits, but you can sometimes find homes with <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-using-ridge-vents-should-gable-vents-be-sealed.htm">both gable and ridge vents</a>. Gable vents can have a purely aesthetic purpose, while ridge vents hide in the roof shingles so air can flow under the roof while keeping the attic dry.</p></div>

Q: How much weight can a gable roof hold?

• <div><p>A standard roof can hold a live load of about 20 pounds per square foot. However, gable roofs often have steeper-than-average slopes, so calculating their weight capacity can be challenging. If the slope of your gable roof is greater than 4:12, the live load needs to be decreased to allow for a larger dead load. Ask your roofer exactly how much weight your roof can support.</p></div>

Q: How far up do you put snow guards on a metal roof?

• <div><p>The placement of snow guards depends on the individual roof, but typically snow guards are placed between 12 and 18 inches from the eaves, though they can be placed as close as six inches and as far as 24 inches from the eaves. A roofing professional can assess the roof and potential snow loads to determine the best placement.</p></div>
