Q: What’s the difference between wood shakes and shingles?

• <div><p>While the terms are often used interchangeably, wood shakes and wood shingles have notable differences, primarily in their manufacturing and appearance. Wood shingles are machine-cut on both sides, resulting in a smooth, thin, and uniform product. In contrast, wood shakes are typically hand-split or sawed on only one side, giving them a more textured, natural, and rustic appearance. Due to these manufacturing differences, shakes are generally thicker, heavier, and less uniform than shingles. They are also more expensive. Homeowners seeking a more rustic aesthetic often choose shakes, while those preferring a more uniform look may opt for shingles. Both are installed in an overlapping pattern to create a durable, weather-resistant roof.</p></div>

Q: Is a cool roof worth it?

• <div><p>A cool roof can be worth it in the right climate. Cool roofs are excellent at reflecting solar heat away from your home, so if you live in a warm or hot climate, they can be a great roofing choice. Some cool roofing materials are even eligible for tax credits. However, they cost more than traditional roofing and don&rsquo;t retain heat as well as traditional roofing, so they&rsquo;re not ideal if you live in a cold climate.</p></div>

Q: What type of roofing is the least expensive?

• <div><p>Asphalt shingles are the least-expensive roofing material. They cost around <b>$10,000 </b>for a 1,600-square-foot home compared to <b>$16,500 </b>for metal roofing or<b> $25,000</b> for slate shingles.</p></div>

Q: How long does a tar and gravel roof last?

• <div><p>Tar and gravel roofs last an average of 30 years, which is longer than the average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-flat-roofs-last.htm">lifespan of many other flat roofs</a>. The gravel on top of the waterproof membrane helps protect the roof from UV damage and physical damage, so if you keep your roof drains clear and carry out annual roof inspections to catch issues early, you could see up to 40 years of useful life from your roof.</p></div>

Q: How much does a gable roof cost?

• <div><p>A gable <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-roof-replacement-cost.htm">roof costs</a> between $13,000 and $30,000, depending on the size of your roof, the materials you use, and the type of gable roof you install. If you&rsquo;re building a gable roof for new construction or as part of a major home remodel, your pricing will also depend on the type of roof trusses you use, how accessible your property is, and some other factors.</p></div>

Super great carpenter! Did a great job with whatever I asked and he stands behind his bids and his job. He came back and checked things over a year later and made sure everything was still up to par.

"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"
