Q: What temperature is too cold to replace a roof?

• <div><p>In most cases, below 40 degrees Fahrenheit is too cold to replace a roof. The cold affects the shingles, making it more difficult to adhere them to your roof. It also becomes dangerous for contractors to get up on your roof in the cold weather, as there can be ice and slush causing surfaces to become slippery.</p></div>

Q: Does flashing go over or under shingles?

• <div><p>Generally, roof flashing is installed under the shingles to create a watertight seal and prevent moisture from seeping in and causing damage. However, the exact placement can depend on the type of flashing. For instance, with step flashing, the shingles and flashing overlap each other, meaning the flashing is technically both over and under the shingles. Flashing also typically goes beneath the house siding and is often not visible from the ground.</p></div>

Q: Does Trex warp?

• <div><p>Unlike wood decks, Trex decking doesn&rsquo;t warp. That&rsquo;s one of the key benefits of installing this decking material. Over time, common issues with these decks include hard water stains, mold or mildew growth, and stains from food spills. Thankfully, with proper cleaning, you can get rid of most stains and mold.</p></div>

Q: What size staples are best for roof shingles?

• <div><p><b>16-gauge galvanized steel staples</b> with a minimum crown of <b>15/16 inches</b> or <b>24 millimeters</b> are occasionally used to install shingles. However, most shingle manufacturers or residential building codes don&rsquo;t recommend staples as a roofing fastener. Roofing nails are preferred in most cases, especially in areas that get a lot of heavy wind.</p></div>

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>

"I?ve lived in this house for ten years and realized I?d never actually had the roof professionally inspected. I called Apple Roofing for a maintenance check, and I am so glad I did because they found a cracked flashing around my chimney that was just starting to seep. Instead of trying to upsell me on a whole new roof, they gave me an honest, affordable repair plan to stop the leak at its source. It?s refreshing to find a company in Central Nebraska that values integrity over a quick buck. They explained exactly why the freeze-thaw cycle was causing the issue and gave me tips on what to look for next winter. Truly a knowledgeable and trustworthy team!"
