Q: How long does roof replacement take?

• <div><p>A roof replacement can take anywhere from one to 14 days. For most homes, a full replacement that includes tearing off old materials takes about one to two days, though the average project can last up to 12 days. The exact timeline depends on several factors, including the roof's size and complexity, the type of roofing material, the crew size, and weather conditions. Certain materials take longer to install; for example, metal roofs can take seven to 14 days because the material is more difficult to work with than asphalt shingles, wood, or tile. A re-roofing project, where new shingles are installed over old ones, can take half the time or less. It's also important to factor in the time needed to obtain necessary permits. A professional roofing contractor will typically complete the job faster than a DIY approach.</p></div>

Q: Can you have a thatched roof in the U.S.?

• <div><p>Yes, thatched roofs are legal in most areas in the U.S., but you should always check your local building codes to ensure there are no restrictions in your particular area before installing one. Even where they are legal, you&rsquo;ll usually need to apply fireproofing to the roof to keep it up to code. Keep in mind that a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-new-roof-increase-home-value.htm">new roof might not increase home value</a> as much if you choose a thatched roof, as they aren&rsquo;t common in the U.S. and might not be as desirable to many home buyers.</p></div>

Q: Is a tile roof better than shingles?

• <div><p>Tile and shingle roofs both have their pros and cons. In general, tile roofs are a larger upfront investment. In some cases, they can cost twice as much as shingles, but they last much longer and generally hold their value better than shingle roofs. Shingle roofs, on the other hand, are budget-friendly and quicker to install.</p></div>

Q: How does chimney removal impact the value of my home?

• <div><p>Replacing older chimneys or fireplaces, like wood-burning stoves, with something more eco-friendly can actually increase the value of your home. Some homeowners opt to remove chimneys as they pursue LEED certification, which may also increase the value of your home. But in general, many potential buyers actually look for operational fireplaces in homes, so removing a chimney and fireplace could decrease your home&rsquo;s value by up to $5,000.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material for roof decking?

• <div><p>The best material to sheath a roof will depend on your budget and if you require the strength of more robust materials. For most homes, the added strength is unnecessary, and oriented strand board, or OSB, makes sense. It&rsquo;s inexpensive and robust enough for most roof types. Another popular but slightly more expensive option is plywood.</p></div>

"The provider requested OK from Choice Warranty and he was denied. It rained last night and rain came into my home. It could have been avoided if Choice had just approved what I requested. Now, the damage will be greater than necessary. I blame Choice home warranty for my home damage. Now it will cost mote than a simple tarp could have prevented until I could get money to repair roof. The provider was great and tried his best to get something done to my roof but Choice Warranty was horrible and no help. They get a "zero" from me"
