Q: Why is a thatched roof so expensive?

• <div><p>Thatched roofs are expensive for two main reasons: high labor costs and low supply of available roofers. The labor is more intensive for a thatched roof than other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/roof-materials.htm">roof materials</a>, so your contractor will work longer and charge more for the installation. There are also few professionals with the specialized skills and experience to install thatched roofs. Since the supply of available professionals is low, the cost of compensation is high.</p></div>

Q: How long after rain can a roof be installed?

• <div><p>You should plan on waiting as long as it takes for the roof deck to dry out completely if it gets wet. In most cases, this will take about 24 hours, but it could take longer if you have shading on your roof or cloudy weather after the rainfall that prevents the sun from drying the material.</p></div>

Q: Can you put a second layer over architectural shingles?

• <div><p>In some cases, yes, you can put a second roof layer over architectural shingles, but it depends on your home&rsquo;s structural stability and the local building codes where you live. Architectural shingles are thicker and heavier than standard asphalt shingles, so you may need structural reinforcement or a structural engineer&rsquo;s inspection before proceeding. Additionally, some building departments don&rsquo;t allow for two roof layers, regardless of the roof type. You should ask a professional if ripping the old roof off before installing the new one is the best option for you.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material for roof decking?

• <div><p>The best material to sheath a roof will depend on your budget and if you require the strength of more robust materials. For most homes, the added strength is unnecessary, and oriented strand board, or OSB, makes sense. It&rsquo;s inexpensive and robust enough for most roof types. Another popular but slightly more expensive option is plywood.</p></div>

Q: Can hail damage cause roof leaks?

• <div><p>Yes, hail damage to your roof can definitely cause <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-signs-leaky-roof.htm">water leaks in your roof</a>. This is because hailstones can break, chip, crack, or split shingles of all types, exposing underlayment. This underlayment doesn&rsquo;t offer as much protection against water, so when it becomes compromised, water can penetrate and leak deeper into your home.</p></div>
