"Ordered and paid for custom awning that was to take 5 weeks. Its now been 16 weeks and still waiting. Owner is at best noncommunicable and at worst, rude. I'm now wondering if this is a scam and not a real business."

Chimney Caps questions, answered by experts

The most crucial roof-strengthening method is achievable by following proper construction methods and guidelines from the start. To strengthen an existing roof, framers and DIYers can add hurricane ties or straps to the structure, sister rafters and other framing or truss members, or install additional fasteners or adhesives where necessary.

No, gable vents are necessary in cold weather. Hot air rises, and heating your home around the clock during winter months creates condensation in the attic. Mold thrives on this moisture, and shutting the gable vent can cause a massive mold and mildew outbreak. The vent needs to stay open so it dries the attic out and doesn't give mold a chance to grow.

To cap off a chimney flue, start by measuring its width, length, and diameter, if it’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. 

Rain shouldn’t come in through your ridge vents unless your vents are damaged or the rain is accompanied by very high winds. Most ridge vents use flashing or baffling to keep out rain, snow, and debris. If your ridge vent isn’t baffled, rain is more likely to enter your attic, so ridge vents with baffles are a better choice in areas with regular rainfall.

Torch down roofs have a relatively short lifespan of between 10 and 15 years, although one with up to three layers may last as long as 20 years. This is on the low end of the normal lifespan of a roof. For reference, most wood or asphalt shingles last between 20 and 30 years, while high-quality asphalt shingles can last up to 50 years.

With torch down roofing, expect a 12-year warranty for one-ply systems and a 15-year warranty for two-play systems.
