Roofing questions, answered by experts

Roof flashing is usually installed under the shingles. This strategy allows for a watertight seal and prevents moisture from seeping in and causing damage.

It’s not customary or expected that you tip your roofer or their crew. It’s entirely up to you if you’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’re doing an exceptional job, tipping can be a nice gesture but don’t feel like you have to.

Walking on any roofing material is dangerous, so you should avoid it if you can, but if the need arises, you should know that you can walk on a concrete tile roof without damaging it. Try to step on the bottom portions of the tile that are supported by the lower layer, and distribute your weight evenly across both feet and hands, if possible.

It’s possible to walk on a clay tile roof, but you run the risk of breaking or cracking the tiles if you’re not careful, so it’s best not to walk on it if you can avoid it. If you or a contractor needs roof access, be sure to distribute your weight evenly and step on the portions of tile that are also supported underneath, which depends on your tile design. Walking on any roofing material is inherently dangerous, so wear rubber-soled shoes and use safety equipment if you need to access your roof.

You can use silicone caulk around the upper lip of your roof vent boot to seal it temporarily, or you can slide a repair sleeve over the roof vent and old vent boot to stop air and water leaks temporarily. However, these aren’t permanent solutions, so you should always hire a professional to come out and replace the roof vent boot for a long-lasting fix and peace of mind.
