Can you put new shingles over old shingles?

• <div><p>You can put new shingles over old shingles, but most municipalities only allow for two layers of shingles before you have to rip off the old roof and start fresh. In some areas, only a single layer of shingles is allowed due to the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-a-bundle-of-shingles-weigh.htm">weight a bundle of shingles</a> adds to your structure. In most cases, it’s a good idea to remove your old shingles before you install new shingles, especially if you suspect that a roof leak may have compromised the decking underneath.</p></div>

How long can you leave a tarp on a roof?

• <div><p>You can leave a tarp of a roof for up to 90 days if installed correctly. Tarping a roof is only a temporary measure and should not be a substitute for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-your-roof-need-repairs.htm">roofing repair or replacement</a>.</p></div>

Q: How long does a roof last?

• <div><p>The materials that make up your roof will determine <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-roof-last.htm">how long your roof will last</a>. Typical three-tab shingles generally have a life span of about 20 years, while architectural shingles can last up to 30 years under proper maintenance. Metal roofing materials have longer expected life spans, starting at around 40 years. They can sometimes last up to 100. Slate roofs can last 150 years or longer with proper care. </p></div>

Q: Do services include chimney cap installation?

• <div><p>Yes, many chimney professionals offer cap installations to prevent debris buildup and animal entry.</p></div>

Q: What is the disadvantage of clay tile roofing?

• <div><p>Clay tile roofing is more susceptible to damage from impact than something like a metal roof or even asphalt shingles, so they aren&rsquo;t ideal in areas that see frequent windblown debris or hail. Clay tile roofs are also an average of $8,000 more expensive than asphalt shingle roofs, so up-front cost is an important consideration to make before committing.</p></div>

Tommy Rains was fantastic in his prompt response to our call, and his effective and humane removal of squirrels from our chimney. He did an excellent job repairing the chimney top where it was damaged. We really appreciated his knowledge and service, and whole-heartedly recommend him!

As expected, they did an excellent job. They were prompt, dependable, worked efficiently, and were knowledgeable about fireplace construction. They thoroughly cleaned the fireplace and chimney and made sure to clean behind the damper. We will definitely have them clean our fireplace again.
