Q: How long does a tar and gravel roof last?

• <div><p>Tar and gravel roofs last an average of 30 years, which is longer than the average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-flat-roofs-last.htm">lifespan of many other flat roofs</a>. The gravel on top of the waterproof membrane helps protect the roof from UV damage and physical damage, so if you keep your roof drains clear and carry out annual roof inspections to catch issues early, you could see up to 40 years of useful life from your roof.</p></div>

Q: How long does spray foam roofing last?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-spray-foam-roof-lasts.htm">spray foam roof lasts</a> 20 to 30 years if installed and maintained correctly. Spray foam roofs should be recoated every 10 to 15 years to maintain the UV protection and waterproof surface of the foam material. The longevity of spray foam roofing will depend on the thickness and density of the foam, the protective coating, and how well it&rsquo;s maintained.</p></div>

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: Should you close or cover gable vents in the winter?

• <div><p>No, you should not close or cover your gable vents in the winter. While it might seem logical to block cold air, heating your home creates hot air that rises and can cause condensation in the attic. If the vents are covered, this moisture becomes trapped, creating an ideal environment for mold and mildew. Keeping the gable vents open ensures proper ventilation, which helps dry out the attic, maintain even temperatures, and prevent moisture-related damage.</p></div>

Q: Will insurance cover a roof with two layers of shingles?

• <div><p>Many insurance policies will not cover a roof with two layers of shingles. An additional layer of shingles increases the risk of various kinds of damage, and insurers typically won&rsquo;t pay claims on a roof with an overlay. Adding a layer of shingles may even jeopardize your insurance coverage entirely, so check your policy to ensure you stay within coverage guidelines. </p></div>

Everything has been very easy so far. She gave me all of my options and helped me build my dream package for my home. I would definitely work with her again in the future!"
