Q: How tall is a standard Cape Cod house?

• <div><p>Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they&rsquo;re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings. </p></div>

Q: Can you add a roof over existing shake or shingles?

• <div><p>While you technically can add a roof over shakes or shingles, it&rsquo;s not a good idea. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-questions-ask-installing-roof-overlay.htm">Roofing over existing roofing</a> creates a moisture barrier underneath the new roof and since the trapped material is wood, you can expect a moisture problem. While you could get away with installing a new roof over asphalt or steel, wooden roofs should be removed, new underlayment installed, and the new roof installed over that. Also, the extra weight would add strain to your roof structure.</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 life expectancy of roof underlayment?

• <div><p>Roof underlayment usually lasts as long as the roofing material that covers it, as it&rsquo;s not directly exposed to the elements. In most cases, roofing companies will replace the underlayment each time they install a new roof. In some cases, particularly with slate, clay, or certain metal roofs that can last 50 to 100 years, your underlayment may require replacement within that timeframe, especially if you start to notice roof leaks.</p></div>

Q: What happens if roof tiles fall off?

• <div><p>Underlayment exists under your tile roof. It helps protect your home by acting as a secondary water barrier. Often, when roof tiles fall off, underlayment that's in good condition can temporarily keep water from getting into the home. However, immediate replacement of missing tiles is crucial to avoid additional roof damage. </p></div>

Was very happy with the job The only complaint is I wished they wouldn’t have dropped the main tree trunk on top of other limbs, but this is most likely my fault because I asked them to just drop the tree and leave clean up to me

" 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+.
