Q: What are some disadvantages of a flat roof?

• <div><p>There are several<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-of-flat-roofs.htm"> pros and cons of flat roofs</a>. One disadvantage of flat roofs is that you lose potential attic space because it's flat. Flat roofs tend to pool water and because they lack an angle, any leak in the roof&mdash;usually due to a bad seal&mdash;has the potential to let in a lot of water. They don&rsquo;t work well in climates with snow. Flat roofs are also structurally weaker than sloped roofs.</p></div>

Q: Is torch down roofing the same as rolled roofing?

• <div><p>Generally, the term &ldquo;rolled roofing&rdquo; refers to MSR (mineral surface roll) roofing. This type of roofing is similar to asphalt shingles but comes in a roll that&rsquo;s unraveled and installed over your roof deck. There are many types of rolled roofing, including TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen roofing (aka torch down roofing).</p></div>

Q: What are the recommended thickness and spacing for furring strips on a metal roof?

• <div><p>The proper specifications for furring strips can vary, so you should always consult the roofing manufacturer's guidelines or your roofer. However, general recommendations are as follows:</p><ul><li><p><b>Thickness:</b> Furring strips are typically 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick, meaning standard 1-by or 2-by lumber works well. In areas with extreme winds, a thinner strip may be preferred to limit how much air can get under the roof and cause uplift. A thicker strip can add slightly more insulation but will also increase installation costs.</p></li><li><p><b>Spacing:</b> The recommended spacing for furring strips is between 12 and 24 inches apart on center. Proper spacing is crucial for ensuring good airflow, adequate drainage, noise reduction, and better energy efficiency. The ideal spacing can depend on the roof's pitch and the specific type of metal roofing being installed.</p></li></ul></div>

Q: How much hail damage do you need to replace a roof?

• <div><p>The amount of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-hail-damage-to-replace-roof.htm">hail damage that warrants a roof replacement</a> depends on the size of the hail. In many cases, a roof replacement is needed if your roof gets hail that is 1 inch or larger in diameter. You may also need to replace a roof due to hail damage if you notice several dents in the shingles or there are seven to 10 hail impact marks within a 10x10 foot area on your roof. </p></div>

Q: Who installs green roofs?

• <div><p>When <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-choosing-roofing-contractor.htm">choosing a roofer</a> to install a green roof, look for someone with experience who specializes in green roofs. Rather than looking for a standard roofing contractor, you'll want to find a company that specifically offers green roofs. That company will have people on staff, such as a landscape architect, who understand the types of plants that thrive on rooftops.</p></div>

" I love my new metal roof. It looks fabulous. I have had so many positive comments about it from my neighbors.
My initial contact was with their Sales rep who was extremely friendly and on time for the appointment. I loved working with him because he keep me well informed with everything that would be happening during the new roof installation,
My only issue with Roofing Inc. had to do with the staff who installed the roof. They were very friendly and cleaned up after themselves, but they did not communicate when they would be at my house and why they weren't at my house in the middle of the installation. If this
group would have communicated better then I would be giving this company an A+.
