Can I use my home’s square footage to order roofing materials?

• <div><p>No, you can’t use your home’s square footage. You have to calculate your roof’s square footage, and then you may have to convert your square footage measurement to correspond with how the roofing material is measured. For instance, some roofing is sold in “squares,” which equals the total square footage of the roof divided by 100. Shingles are sold in bundles that may not correspond to the number of squares you need. Metal roofing is sold as sheets, so determine the amount of square feet each panel will cover and then divide the total square footage by the coverage area.</p></div>

• <div><p>Most manufacturers&rsquo; warranties do not cover wind damage to roof shingles, but some companies include a wind warranty rider in their warranty offer. You can purchase this rider to protect yourself, your wallet, and your roof from any damage that might occur from wind. Be sure to read all the fine print and understand any limitations of the warranty.</p></div>

Q: What qualifies as a cool roof?

I waited for a hard rain to see if the roof had been repaired and we had a hard rain on yesterday and my roof is still leaking. I just spoke to someone at Prime Roofing and they are supposed to get someone out on tomorrow. I gave a grade of F related to quality because my roof is still leaking.

I left a message at 7:50 and they responded about 8:10. They couldn't respond immediately but they had someone out there by 11. They were quick to diagnose the problem and fix it. I like that they call 30 minutes in advanced to make sure someone is there.
