Do heated roof cables prevent ice damming?

• <div><p>Yes, and they do it exceptionally well. Heated roof cables have two purposes: melting snow and preventing ice buildup. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-causes-ice-dams.htm">Ice damming</a> <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-prevent-ice-dams.htm">happens when ice forms on the roof</a> (usually where the roof meets the gutter) and melts stubbornly slowly, causing moisture to enter the roof itself and, therefore, the home. </p></div>

Q: Is bleach or vinegar better to kill moss?

• <div><p>Bleach and vinegar can both kill moss effectively. However, if you&rsquo;d rather use a non-chemical option that&rsquo;s better for the environment, vinegar is the choice. Depending on the paver material you use, vinegar and bleach can also stain or discolor the surface. When unsure, test and use the option that doesn&rsquo;t react with your paver material. </p></div>

Q: What should I do if wet paint drips on my roof?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-steps-painting-your-homes-exterior.htm">painting your home</a> or monitoring a job as it&rsquo;s being completed, squash the issue ASAP if you notice paint is getting onto the roof. Keeping it clean is one of the keys to extending your roof&rsquo;s life.</p><p>Removing latex paint before it dries is much easier and lowers the risk of damaging your shingles (more on that below). Simply spray the spot with a hose for one to two minutes to clear away the drying paint. In general, this is a good way to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-roof-cleaning-methods-ugly-stains.htm">remove ugly stains from your roof</a> without using chemicals.</p></div>

Q: What is a flat roof suitable for?

• <div><p>Flat roofs are a solid option for people who want extra outdoor space. Flat roofs are very common in other parts of the world and only recently has the U.S. started to see the benefit in the increased space. Flat roofs are also easier to maintain and pose much less of a safety risk, which allows for more DIY work for handy homeowners. Some people also build green or living roofs that grow plant life. </p></div>

Q: How much maintenance do tile roofs need?

• <div><p>Clay tile roofs require minimal maintenance, as they stand up very well to the elements and often won&rsquo;t fade in direct sunlight. They also don&rsquo;t need sealing. Concrete tiles are also relatively low maintenance, but you will need more maintenance than with clay. You&rsquo;ll need to seal concrete every few years to improve water resistance, and the color will fade a bit more quickly than with clay.</p></div>
