Q: What is the difference between cedar shakes and cedar shingles?

• <div><p>Though cedar shakes often get confused with shingles, there are a few key differences between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wood-shake-vs-shingle.htm">wood shakes and wood shingles.</a> For one, cedar shingle prices are lower, although shingles are less durable than wood shakes. Cedar shakes are thicker than shingles (shingles range from about 3/8 to 1/2 inches thick, compared to 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick for shakes). Wood shakes are handmade, while shingles are usually machine-made. Also, wood shakes work better on steeper roofs than shingles do. While the cost of cedar shingles is more budget-friendly, there are many great reasons to choose shakes.</p></div>

Q: Is there a weight limit for walking on a roof?

• <div><p>There is a weight limit for walking on a roof, but it&rsquo;s determined by your roof structure and not the roofing material, at least in the case of a metal roof. Consider that entire teams of roofers will be on top of your home during the installation, so the weight of a single person won&rsquo;t compromise your roof. That isn&rsquo;t the case for something like a tile roof, so a high weight limit is one <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/benefits-metal-roofing.htm">benefit of a metal roof</a>.</p></div>

Q: Are chimney crowns the same thing as a chimney caps?

• <div><p>No, a chimney crown is not the same as a chimney cap. A chimney crown is a flat cement area on top of a masonry chimney. It starts where the masonry part of the chimney ends at the very top and domes upward toward the flue opening. A chimney cap sits on top of the crown over the flue. It is usually made of metal and allows smoke to escape without letting in rainwater.</p></div>

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: Do roofers remove satellite dishes?

• <div><p>Many roofers remove satellite dishes as part of their services, especially during roof repairs or replacements. However, they typically won&rsquo;t reconnect or reinstall the dish. If you no longer need the dish, roofers can dispose of it, but for reuse, you may need a satellite technician to handle reinstallation.</p></div>
