Q: How big does hail need to be to damage a roof?

• <div><p>In general, hailstones need to be at least one inch in diameter to cause damage to a roof. Smaller hailstones can also cause damage, but usually only if accompanied by strong winds or striking aging roofs in poor condition. Obviously, the larger the hail, the more potential for damage.</p></div>

Q: How do you hang Christmas lights on a roof without gutters?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have gutters, you can hang <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-hang-christmas-lights-tile-roof.htm">Christmas lights on your tile roof</a> or shingles with the right kind of roof clips. Again, you should avoid using nails or staples, as they could damage your roof&rsquo;s material. Adhesive light-hanging clips are best for hanging lights on a roof.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Does shoveling your roof prevent ice dams?

• <div><p>Removing snow from your roof can help prevent ice dams, but the best thing to do is address insulation issues in your attic. If you do decide to remove the snow manually, you should always use a roof rake rather than a shovel. You shouldn&rsquo;t climb your snowy roof in any circumstance, and roof rake allows you to remove the snow from the ground or a ladder. For the best results, remove snow as soon as possible after it falls.</p></div>

Q: What is the best roofing material for garages?

• <div><p>If you're looking for a dependable and affordable option for garage roofing, asphalt shingles offer a durable way to blend a detached garage in with the surrounding residential aesthetic. If you're looking for a more durable and protective option because you're storing expensive equipment in your garage, consider metal roofs that perform well against snow, ice, hail, and heavy rains.</p></div>

Q: Can you put new shingles over old shingles?

• <div><p>You can put new shingles over old shingles, but most municipalities only allow for two layers of shingles before you have to rip off the old roof and start fresh. In some areas, only a single layer of shingles is allowed due to the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-a-bundle-of-shingles-weigh.htm">weight a bundle of shingles</a> adds to your structure. In most cases, it&rsquo;s a good idea to remove your old shingles before you install new shingles, especially if you suspect that a roof leak may have compromised the decking underneath.</p></div>

I am writing this review because we based our selection of builders off of what we read on this site. Sadly, what we experienced is NOT what former customers had experience. Our 16 X 23 addition started in Feb of 2024 and so did the draws of money. We were promised completion would be done...
