What materials are needed for roofing a house?

• <div><p>Once framing is complete, you will need the following materials to roof a house:</p><ul><li><p>Wood sheathing</p></li><li><p>Drip edge, a.k.a metal flashing</p></li><li><p>Underlayment for waterproofing</p></li><li><p>Roof covering, like metal or asphalt shingles</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

What credit score is needed for a roof?

• <div><p>If you choose to get a personal loan to finance a roof, you will want to aim for a “good” or “excellent” credit score for the best rates. That means a credit score of 690 or more. If you aren’t sure of your credit score, you can request one free credit report per year from each of the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Many banks also provide free credit reports monthly.</p></div>

Q: What is the life expectancy of a roof?

• <div><p>The average life span of an asphalt-shingled roof is <b>25 to 30 years</b>. Some roofing materials, like slate, wood, copper, and clay, can last 50 years or more when properly installed and maintained. Regular inspections and maintenance can extend the life of your roof and prevent costly damage, such as cleaning gutters and replacing damaged shingles.</p></div>

Q: How much weight can a gable roof hold?

• <div><p>A standard roof can hold a live load of about 20 pounds per square foot. However, gable roofs often have steeper-than-average slopes, so calculating their weight capacity can be challenging. If the slope of your gable roof is greater than 4:12, the live load needs to be decreased to allow for a larger dead load. Ask your roofer exactly how much weight your roof can support.</p></div>

Q: Is it customary to tip a roofer or crew?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not customary or expected that you tip your roofer or their crew. It&rsquo;s entirely up to you if you&rsquo;d like to give them a little extra money for their work. One way you can show appreciation is by picking up coffee or breakfast for the crew. If you feel like they&rsquo;re doing an exceptional job, tipping can be a nice gesture but don&rsquo;t feel like you have to.</p></div>

Our experience with Chimney King was a very good one. They were prompt, courteous, and clean. They explained what was needed and how they were doing it. They were able to keep all of the dirt to the outside of the house and there was very little to clean in the fireplace. Our professional...

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...
