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: Is a roof replacement just shingles?

• <div><p>A roof replacement will usually include removal of your old roof, shingle replacement, and a new roof underlayment, but it may only include adding new shingles if you&rsquo;re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/problems-with-two-layer-shingles.htm">layering new shingles over the old shingles</a>. If you have signs of roof leaks or your roofer finds water damage to the roof decking underneath your old roof, it can also include replacement of the OSB or plywood decking that lays over your rafters and supports the roofing material above. </p></div>

Q: What questions should I ask a roofing contractor?

• <div><p>Before hiring a roofing contractor, it's wise to ask several key questions. Inquire if they are licensed for roof replacement and repair and if they hold any special certifications. Ask if they will be completing all the work themselves or subcontracting parts of it. It's also important to understand the project timeline, whether they will remove the old roof or place new shingles on top, and how they will handle cleanup after the project is complete. Finally, ask about warranties for both work and materials, what recourse you have if issues like leaks arise, and if they can provide customer references.</p></div>

Q: How do I secure my roof decorations for Christmas?

• <div><p>You can secure roof decorations like inflatables and other Christmas decor by tying a rope or attacking bungee cords to your roof clips. Depending on the pitch of your roof, you can use sandbags for extra support. Like with Christmas lights, avoid using staples or duct tape. </p></div>

Q: How do I know if my roof has storm damage?

• <div><p>If your roof has storm damage, there will be some telltale signs. These include missing, loose, or damaged shingles. You may notice cracks or dents on the metal parts of your roof, like flashing, gutters, or metal panels. Water leaks are another big indicator. So are visible signs of impact. Rather than climb up on your roof to check, hire a professional to inspect the area safely.</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."

"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."
