Q: What is the best pitch for a porch roof?

• <div><p>The minimum recommended slope for a porch roof is 1/4:12, which means 1/4-inch of rise every 12 inches of run. Slopes of 3:12 and 4:12 are more common and provide faster drainage for runoff. Make sure to choose a pitch that&rsquo;s appropriate both for the climate in your area and the type of roof material you install. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-choosing-roofing-contractor.htm">Hire a roofer</a> if you need help determining what the right roof pitch is. </p></div>

Q: Can I put a metal roof over asphalt shingles?

• <div><p>You can technically install a metal roof over asphalt shingles, but it isn&rsquo;t a good idea. This is because you&rsquo;re essentially creating a moisture barrier under the metal, which can easily&mdash;and often does&mdash;lead to significant mold damage. Removing an asphalt roof isn&rsquo;t terribly expensive, and some roofing companies might cut you a serious labor and disposal discount if you add it to a new install. </p></div>

Q: Should there be a gap between the roof and the wall?

• <div><p>There should be small gaps between your roof and the walls of your home, and other buildings. These small gaps let building materials shift, expand, and contract with weather and other outside forces, and they prevent moisture from wicking down walls from roofing and gutter systems. Without these strategic gaps, your home&rsquo;s exterior and its finishes can sustain water damage, decay, peel, delaminate, and crack. However, there is a fine line between a smart gap and a problematic gap&mdash;all gaps should be small, intentional, and covered or filled in with foam insulation to prevent pests from using them as access points.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a roof estimate and a roof inspection?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-need-roofing-estimate-or-inspection.htm">Roofing estimates and inspections</a> are not the same thing. Roofing inspections (whether done with a drone or by the traditional method) help you find any damage or defects on a roof. You will pay a set fee for a roofing inspection and use it to get certification or to determine whether repair or replacement is necessary. Beware of unsolicited contractors coming to your home and offering a so-called <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/free-roof-inspection.htm">free roof inspection</a>&mdash;these are often scams.</p><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-tips-get-best-roofing-estimate.htm">Roofing estimates</a>, on the other hand, are typically free and offered by a roofing company hoping to earn your business. Some roofing estimates are performed with drones, while other companies will still opt to send people up onto the roof. Either way, the estimate is for roof repair or replacement costs the company wants you to hire them for. </p></div>

Q: Is it normal for a roofing estimate to change after the initial assessment?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible for a roofing estimate to change after the initial assessment, but in most cases, it shouldn&rsquo;t. There&rsquo;s always the risk that something unexpected will happen that causes prices to go up, like discontinued materials or your roofer discovering previously hidden damage to your decking when ripping off the old roof. However, experienced roofers should account for these circumstances in their initial estimates. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/i-was-wondering-if-i-was-obligated-roofers-contract.htm">Roofing contracts are binding</a>, so always check your contract for language about how and why your numbers could change. </p></div>

"After doing research and talking with the Roof Maxx dealer in our area, we decided to have our house and garage roofs treated with Roof Maxx. Financially, it made sense to do what we can to maintain the asphalt shingles on our roofs with Roof Maxx plant based oil treatment. Environmentally it made sense because shingles that last longer donâ t become more waste dumped into landfills. In addition, the roof inspection and repair of loose shingles, made us feel that our roof would be in excellent shape going forward. Scheduling appointments with the Roof Maxx dealer in our area was easy. Customer service was excellent. Emplyees took time to answer questions and explain the process. Everyone we talked to was professional and knowledgeable about the Roof Maxx product. All in all our experience with Roof Maxx was overwhelmingly positive."
