"We have been having a problem with pigeons hanging around all day on/under our solar panels. I originally had a handyman who was going to install mesh around the edges of the panels and yesterday (the day he was supposed to come) found out he didn't have insurance/license so I canceled. I then went into a Zoom meeting and heard the darn pigeons cooing and fluttering all over the roof and got so upset. I came to Angi and found Best Choice Roofing (aka Best Way) - he called me back right away and in less than an hour he was here. The first thing he did was hand me his business card with his License # on it. Very professional. He got up on the roof, then in a few minutes came down and gave me an estimate. Once I accepted, he called his team to assist and he started on the roof. They were super clean - blew out my gutters, blew everything out from under the solar panels, and made sure to blow the porch and front of my house to remove any debris. I had peace of mind that they were licensed and insured. Today I am happy to announce, I have not heard ONE PIGEON! I know this company usually does more like roofing and gutter-type projects, but I will be letting any of my neighbors with solar panels/pigeons know who to call. Great crew. Thanks so much!"

Roofing questions, answered by experts

The golden ratio for roof pitch is 1:1.62. It’s simply a standard aspect ratio that home and building designers and architects use when deciding how steep a roof should be to maintain visual appeal. The golden ratio can apply to any home or structure with a visible roof that isn't considered a flat roof.

The best material to sheath a roof will depend on your budget and if you require the strength of more robust materials. For most homes, the added strength is unnecessary, and oriented strand board, or OSB, makes sense. It’s inexpensive and robust enough for most roof types. Another popular but slightly more expensive option is plywood.

The principal, common, and auxiliary rafters are the most frequently used types of rafters. Principal rafters are large and typically appear toward the edges of the roof. Common rafters are smaller than principal rafters. Some people may use a mix of common and principal rafters. The auxiliary rafter is not common, but it provides extra reinforcement for a principal rafter on a large building.

Gable vents are more common in older homes built before the 1970s. Homes built after this era use ridge vents or soffits, but you can sometimes find homes with both gable and ridge vents. Gable vents can have a purely aesthetic purpose, while ridge vents hide in the roof shingles so air can flow under the roof while keeping the attic dry.

Roofing material costs vary depending on the type of material you choose and whether you install it yourself or hire a roofer. Shingles are the most affordable option and cost between $70 and $400 per square, metal roofing is between $100 and $1,500 per square, and concrete tile is between $300 and $1,000 per square.
