Q: What are some disadvantages of a wooden shake roof?

• <div><p>Wooden roofs require regular maintenance, are prone to rot and mold, and are frequently the target of insect infestations. Natural wood is also excellent at absorbing and storing moisture&mdash;not a positive. In climates where the weather shifts dramatically, the wood can also crack, split, or warp.</p></div>

Q: Do roofers use staples or nails?

• <div><p>Roofers most often use nails to fasten roofing shingles and other roofing materials. Nails have more holding power than staples and offer better weather resistance and longevity. However, it is possible to use staples instead of nails when installing a roof. Staples are less expensive, but not as high-quality.</p></div>

Q: Does torch down roofing installation come with liability?

• <div><p>More and more insurance companies are writing torch down applications out of their liability insurance for contractors. If torch down is covered, they generally require a worker to stay on site for two hours after the last flame is extinguished.</p><p>For this reason, cold application modified bitumen&mdash;also known as &ldquo;peel and stick&rdquo;&mdash;is becoming more popular, and torch down is decreasing in popularity. Modified bitumen is taking its place, as it uses both hot and cold applications.</p></div>

Q: What roof is the least suitable for solar panels?

• <div><p>The least suitable roof for solar panels is a wood shake roof. An electrical mishap with your solar panels could start a fire on the roof, so some areas don&rsquo;t allow solar panels on wood roofs. You don&rsquo;t have to let a wood roof stop you from going solar. You can replace your wood shakes with shingles. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/solar-panels-on-ground-vs-roof.htm">Installing the panels on the ground</a> is another option. </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>
