Q: How much should you pay a roofer upfront?

• <div><p>Ideally, you shouldn&rsquo;t <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-pay-roofing-contractor-front.htm">pay your roofer upfront</a> unless you&rsquo;re special-ordering materials. However, anything between 10% and 15% of the project&rsquo;s cost is reasonable to pay upfront. Avoid making a final payment until after the roof gets completed.</p></div>

Q: What are the recommended thickness and spacing for furring strips on a metal roof?

• <div><p>The proper specifications for furring strips can vary, so you should always consult the roofing manufacturer's guidelines or your roofer. However, general recommendations are as follows:</p><ul><li><p><b>Thickness:</b> Furring strips are typically 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick, meaning standard 1-by or 2-by lumber works well. In areas with extreme winds, a thinner strip may be preferred to limit how much air can get under the roof and cause uplift. A thicker strip can add slightly more insulation but will also increase installation costs.</p></li><li><p><b>Spacing:</b> The recommended spacing for furring strips is between 12 and 24 inches apart on center. Proper spacing is crucial for ensuring good airflow, adequate drainage, noise reduction, and better energy efficiency. The ideal spacing can depend on the roof's pitch and the specific type of metal roofing being installed.</p></li></ul></div>

Q: Should you replace a roof before moving?

• <div><p>You only need to replace a roof before moving if it&rsquo;s extremely old or has more than just a couple minor damages. For instance, leaks, uplifted shingles, or obvious holes are issues no one wants to deal with right when they move in, and will automatically repel potential buyers that might have otherwise been interested. </p></div>

Q: Do all houses have eaves?

• <div><p>Some homes, like those with flat roofs, may not have eaves at all. Some contemporary-style homes also lack eaves, although many may have abbreviated eaves to divert water and protect the walls and foundation. Homes without eaves often have specific <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choose-right-gutters-your-home.htm">types of gutters</a> affixed directly to the edge of the roof to provide adequate drainage.</p></div>

Q: Does insurance cover a roof tarp?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-get-know-your-homeowners-insurance.htm">Homeowners insurance</a> may cover the cost to tarp a roof if the type of damage falls within your coverage. For example, roof damage caused by a natural disaster may fall within your plan, and the cost of a temporary tarp may be incorporated. In general, however, simply tarping your roof for renovations will often not fall under insurance coverage. </p></div>
