Q: Does a metal roof over shingles require an underlayment?

• <div><p>Underlayment is used between existing shingles and a new metal roof to prevent friction and wear from the shingle granules on the underside of the metal. The underlayment also helps prevent water intrusion and allows expansion and contraction without wearing away at the roofing material.</p></div>

Q: Why is a thatched roof so expensive?

• <div><p>Thatched roofs are expensive for two main reasons: high labor costs and low supply of available roofers. The labor is more intensive for a thatched roof than other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/roof-materials.htm">roof materials</a>, so your contractor will work longer and charge more for the installation. There are also few professionals with the specialized skills and experience to install thatched roofs. Since the supply of available professionals is low, the cost of compensation is high.</p></div>

Q: Do tile roofs keep a house cooler?

• <div><p>Yes, clay and concrete tile roofs will keep your home cooler in the summer for two reasons. First, the material has low heat conductivity, so heat transfer from the sunlight and the outside air to your home will be very slow. Additionally, tile roofs have air gaps between the tiles and the roof decking, which helps further insulate your structure from heat gain. Light-colored tile is especially energy-efficient and will minimize how much outside heat transfers into your home.</p></div>

Q: Is it okay to put a new roof over an old one?

• <div><p>Whether replacing the entire roof or just installing roof shingle replacements in small areas, always pull up the old roof shingles. While you can technically put new roof shingles (but not other roof materials) over old shingles, this can add weight strain to the roof and prevent the new shingles from securing properly to the roof.</p></div>

Q: How waterproof is roof underlayment?

• <div><p>The level of underlayment&rsquo;s water resistance will depend on the type of underlayment. The most popular underlayment, felt, is water-resistant, but it can&rsquo;t withstand long direct exposure to rain or the elements. </p><p>Synthetic underlayment is more waterproof, but asphalt is the only fully waterproof type of underlayment.</p></div>
