What is the proper spacing for roof trusses?

• <div><p>Building code allows 24-inch on-center spacing for roof trusses. However, you can install them on 12- or 16-inch centers to handle large loads or other exceptional circumstances. In cases such as covering a wide span or supporting <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/budget-friendly-roofing-alternatives.htm">alternative roofing materials,</a> where a structural engineer needs to evaluate or create a design for your trusses, the plans will indicate the spacing. </p></div>

What time of year is the best to replace a roof?

• <div><p>Fall is usually considered the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-best-time-install-roof.htm">best time of year to replace a roof</a>, as the temperatures are moderate, and having your living space exposed to the outdoors won’t cause extreme temperatures inside. Spring could also work, but the higher risk of rainfall makes fall the best time of year overall. You can opt for a replacement in the summer or spring to avoid peak demand and potentially save some money, though.</p></div>

How long does a TPO roof last?

• <div><p>TPO roofing can last anywhere from 15 to 30 years, or an average of 22 years, but you can extend its life expectancy through proper <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-can-i-do-maintain-my-roof.htm">roof maintenance.</a> For the best chance at realizing the longest life span possible, keep tree branches trimmed so they’re not in contact with the roofing material. Inspect your roof regularly and repair any damage immediately.</p></div>

Q: How long do torch down roofs last?

• <div><p>Torch down roofs have a relatively short lifespan of between 10 and 15 years, although one with up to three layers may last as long as 20 years. This is on the low end of the normal lifespan of a roof. For reference, most wood or asphalt shingles last between 20 and 30 years, while high-quality asphalt shingles can last up to 50 years.</p><p>With torch down roofing, expect a 12-year warranty for one-ply systems and a 15-year warranty for two-play systems.</p></div>

Q: How big does hail need to be to damage a roof?

• <div><p>In general, hailstones need to be at least one inch in diameter to cause damage to a roof. Smaller hailstones can also cause damage, but usually only if accompanied by strong winds or striking aging roofs in poor condition. Obviously, the larger the hail, the more potential for damage.</p></div>

They were good and did a great job. They were here when they said that they would be here and cleaned up all the mess after they finished the job. We have a high roof but they did not mind going up on that roof. The price was reasonable; they were the best and cheapest.
