Q: Can you add flashing to an existing roof?

• <div><p>Depending on the condition of your roof, you may be able to add flashing to it. If you&rsquo;re looking for a way to maintain its integrity while saving some money, you should ask a roofing pro if this is an option. Keep in mind that if your roof is in poor shape, a full replacement may be necessary before flashing is installed. </p></div>

Q: Can you put new roof underlayment over old underlayment?

• <div><p>You shouldn&rsquo;t put a new roof underlayment over an old one for a few reasons. Old felt must be removed in order to assess the condition of your roof decking, such as rotting wood or other structural issues. Also, if your roofer doesn't install a fresh layer of felt as is required by shingle manufacturers, your warranty may be voided. Finally, old underlayment removal is often included in the cost of roof repair or replacement, so there's no real benefit to leaving it on before installing a new layer.</p></div>

Q: What happens if I don’t ventilate my roof?

• <div><p>Roof vents are an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/roofing-essentials.htm">essential part of a roof,</a> as they promote energy efficiency by keeping warm, humid air at bay.

Q: Which is better for my shed, a flat roof or a sloped roof?

• <div><p>Whether you should choose a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/flat-roof-better-sloped-roof.htm">flat roof or a sloped roof</a> depends on your particular situation. Flat roofs tend to be less expensive to install. However, sloped roofs have longer lifespans and stand up better to heavy snow and other inclement weather.</p><p>Keep in mind that even a flat roof needs to have a slight slope, usually around 1/2 inch for every foot.

Roofing questions, answered by experts

Depending on the condition of your roof, you may be able to add flashing to it. If you’re looking for a way to maintain its integrity while saving some money, you should ask a roofing pro if this is an option. Keep in mind that if your roof is in poor shape, a full replacement may be necessary before flashing is installed.

You shouldn’t put a new roof underlayment over an old one for a few reasons. Old felt must be removed in order to assess the condition of your roof decking, such as rotting wood or other structural issues. Also, if your roofer doesn't install a fresh layer of felt as is required by shingle manufacturers, your warranty may be voided. Finally, old underlayment removal is often included in the cost of roof repair or replacement, so there's no real benefit to leaving it on before installing a new layer.

Roof vents are an essential part of a roof, as they promote energy efficiency by keeping warm, humid air at bay. The roofing material, especially asphalt shingles, will not last as long as it should (about half of its manufacture life) if the attic is not ventilated. Also, going without ventilation means having a warm attic that demands more from your air conditioning system (and your wallet, once the bills come). Ridge vents and roof vents also prevent a host of other icky moisture-related problems like rot, mold, and mildew.

Once framing is complete, you will need the following materials to roof a house:

Wood sheathing
Drip edge, a.k.a metal flashing
Underlayment for waterproofing
Roof covering, like metal or asphalt shingles

Whether you should choose a flat roof or a sloped roof depends on your particular situation. Flat roofs tend to be less expensive to install. However, sloped roofs have longer lifespans and stand up better to heavy snow and other inclement weather.

Keep in mind that even a flat roof needs to have a slight slope, usually around 1/2 inch for every foot. If it is completely flat, water will pool and cause damage, either from weight or leakage or rot.
