Q: How often should architectural shingles be replaced?

• <div><p>You should plan on replacing architectural shingles every 20 to 25 years in most cases, although you could see up to around 30 years of useful life. Replacing your roof before it reaches the end of its life is a good idea because it reduces the risk of roof failure and roof leaks, which can contribute to extensive property damage and hefty repair costs. Your shingles&rsquo; life span can be shorter if you live in an area that sees a lot of extreme weather, so plan on getting a roof inspection done every few years to identify the best timeline for replacement.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a lawyer to review a roofing contract?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s always a good idea to have a lawyer review any legally binding contract before signing, including roofing contracts. Most contracts have straightforward language that&rsquo;s easy to understand, but getting advice from an attorney before signing could save you from being locked into a contract you don&rsquo;t want to move forward with. Having a lawyer review your contract can also help protect you if your roofing professional defaults on their side of the agreement. </p></div>

Q: Do tile roofs keep a house cooler?

• <div><p>Yes, clay and concrete tile roofs will keep your home cooler in the summer for two reasons. First, the material has low heat conductivity, so heat transfer from the sunlight and the outside air to your home will be very slow. Additionally, tile roofs have air gaps between the tiles and the roof decking, which helps further insulate your structure from heat gain. Light-colored tile is especially energy-efficient and will minimize how much outside heat transfers into your home.</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>

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.
