Q: What is the life expectancy of roofing felt?

• <div><p>Roofing felt is the most common type of roof underlayment, likely because it has been around the longest. It&rsquo;s called roofing felt because it is often made of felt soaked in asphalt. Depending on the type of roofing a home has, roofing felt comes in different thicknesses. </p><p>If properly installed and maintained, roofing felt should last between 10 and 25 years. </p></div>

Q: Do all roofs need overhang?

• <div><p>No, there&rsquo;s no specific building code that requires a roof overhang. However, installing your roof with the standard 2-inch overhang is good practice, as it helps direct runoff away from your fascia boards and roof decking and into your gutters. Some overhang is especially important in areas that see heavy rainfall and snowfall, as the risk of water getting under the roofing material and causing water damage is much higher.</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 difficult is it to remove a chimney?

• <div><p>Yes, removing a chimney is a difficult and major undertaking. Chimneys often provide structural support to a home, so if it's a load-bearing structure, you'll need to take extra precautions to maintain your home's integrity. A project of this complexity typically requires a structural engineer, a masonry contractor, and a demolition crew. The removal process may involve taking the chimney out brick by brick from inside the walls. The cost for chimney removal can range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the job's complexity. Due to the difficulty and cost, some homeowners opt to remove the fireplace and seal the chimney at the top and bottom, sometimes also removing the visible exterior portion at the roofline.</p></div>

Q: Can you replace just a few shingles?

• <div><p>Asphalt shingles, wooden shakes, and slate or clay roofing tiles are often replaceable without having to replace the entire roof. It's possible to replace just a few shingles or tiles without much trouble in the case of wind damage or other minor problems. DIYers can perform the task in some situations. However, professional repair is always the best bet when it comes to roofing. </p></div>
