Q: What happens if you don’t stagger shingles?

• <div><p>Asphalt shingles have varying thicknesses across the length, so failing to stagger shingles from one row to the next will leave you with bulges and bumps if the thicker sections stack on top of each other. Not only is this unappealing, but it increases the risk of water intrusion. Stagger each new row by 6 inches to avoid this issue.</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 long do shingles last?

• <div><p>How long shingles last depends on the type of shingles you have on your roof. Asphalt shingles normally last anywhere from 15 to 30 years, metal shingles can last anywhere from 15 to 100 years, and tile shingles can last anywhere from 50 to 100 years or more.</p></div>

Q: What is the formula for measuring a roof?

• <div><p>The common formula for measuring a roof is length x width equals square footage. Professional roofers measure the length and width of your roof, including dormers, and determine its pitch and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/roof-rafters-size.htm">rafter sizes</a>.

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>
