Are trusses better than rafters?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/rafters-vs-trusses.htm">Trusses and rafters</a> each have advantages and disadvantages, so one isn’t necessarily better than the other. For example, trusses are more affordable and often come in prefabricated kits, so they’re easier to build than rafters. However, rafters are available in a variety of designs, so it’s easier to find one that fits your style preferences. Plus, if you want to build an attic at some point down the line, it’s far easier to do that with rafters rather than trusses.</p></div>

Q: Can I keep my old roof if I build a second story?

• <div><p>Sometimes. Professionals may be able to remove the old roof and re-attach it when completed, depending on your blueprints. That can help you save money. But this method is not without its risks. Larger roofs may crack during the transportation process. And if the roof is old or has problems, it may be better to replace it entirely. Keeping the old roof isn&rsquo;t always possible if you are making significant alterations to the roofline. </p></div>

Q: Do you have to remove shingles before installing a metal roof?

• <div><p>In most cases and locations, roofs with a single layer of asphalt roofing shingles won't require roof removal before installing a metal roof. However, underlayment may be necessary on roofs with moderate shingle damage. Heavily damaged roofs or ones with multiple shingle layers will most likely require removal before a metal roof can go on.</p></div>

Q: What are common roofing issues?

• <div><p>Common problems include loose or missing shingles, leaks, and weather damage. Regular inspections help prevent major repairs.</p></div>

Q: What steps should I take after selecting a roofer for my project?

• <div><p>After you've chosen the best roofer for you, schedule an inspection and review the final contract. Your roofing company should be able to provide options for scheduling the work and a potential timeline for obtaining the permits and starting the job. Remember to always request everything in writing before work begins.</p></div>

My experience was great. The work was done timely and cleaned up after themselves. They told me upfront the job would be difficult and they might not be able to get the concrete back to original level. They did great. It is not 100% but I was able to see why. During the process of working...
