Q: How long does a cedar shake roof last?

• <div><p>When installed and maintained properly, a cedar shake roof should last up to 60 years. Severe weather and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/10-things-check-your-roof-after-high-winds.htm">high winds will damage your roof</a>, reducing its life span. Expect a shorter life span if the roofer didn't use top-grade material, didn&rsquo;t have cedar shake expertise, didn&rsquo;t create the proper ventilation, or didn&rsquo;t use the correct fasteners. Keeping up with maintenance will help it last longer. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to get roof inspections on a regular basis to help spot repairs before they become major issues.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of flat roofing?

• <div><p>Flat roofs are cost-effective, offer usable space, and are easy to maintain. Foam and single-ply materials provide excellent insulation and durability.</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: Can verbal agreements or handshakes be binding for roofing projects?

• <div><p>Technically speaking, yes, verbal agreements and &ldquo;handshake deals&rdquo; can be legally binding contracts that will hold up in court, but the suing party will need to be able to prove that the parties entered into the contract. Even though verbal and handshake deals can be binding, it&rsquo;s risky to rely on these types of agreements for anything, including roofing projects. Always aim to get your contract in writing, and make sure it includes all terms and that you don&rsquo;t agree to additional terms that don&rsquo;t appear in the contract.</p></div>

Q: How do you cap off a chimney flue?

• <div><p>To cap off a chimney flue, start by measuring its width, length, and diameter, if it&rsquo;s circular. Purchase a cap that fits the flue, and decide whether you want a temporary or permanent model. Then, slide or insert the cap onto the flue and secure it with a screwdriver. Be sure to avoid over-tightening the screws to prevent chimney damage. </p></div>

"Fantastic contractor. Talked to the owner on Tuesday while they were doing a roof on house around corner from my house. He came by couple hours later to look at my house to give estimate. We agreed on price and next morning crew arrived and they stripped and reroofed my 2 story house in 2 days. Impressive how fast and efficient they were. Price was unbeatable. They finished and cleaned up like they were never there. Can't say enough positive about them. Don't even waste your time talking to other roofing contractors, this is the company you will want to use for sure."
