What’s the best climate for copper roofs?

• <div><p>Copper roofing works well in all kinds of climates, but it’s ideal in humid climates because it naturally repels fungus, moss, and algae. This makes it one of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-roofing-materials-for-cape-cod.htm">best roofing options for Cape Cod homes</a> in the Northeast, as well as homes in the humid southern states and snowy northern states. That said, copper is vulnerable to thermal expansion. If you live in a climate that has extreme temperature changes, your contractor will need to consider this during the installation process.</p></div>

Q: Is it less costly to build rafters or buy trusses?

• <div><p>Because truss manufacturers can stockpile the necessary lumber and other materials for truss construction, and the manufacturing takes place in a single, climate-controlled location, trusses are often for sale for less than the raw material cost to construct rafters on-site. Additionally, truss installation is much faster than rafter construction, so you'll also save on labor costs.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of using natural slate for roofing?

• <div><p>Natural slate offers durability, fire resistance, low maintenance, and an unrivaled aesthetic, so it is often favored for premium architectural roofing designs.</p></div>

Q: What happens if a roof pitch is too shallow?

• <div><p>A roof pitch that&rsquo;s too shallow won&rsquo;t shed runoff as quickly, so you have an increased risk of water intrusion through the seams between your roofing materials. In colder climates, snow and ice will accumulate more easily on your roof, which can add enough weight to cause roof collapse and structural damage to your home. </p></div>

Q: What does home winterization involve?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s the reverse of home de-winterization. To winterize, you purge your plumbing system (including your water heater and all piping) of water. Some experts also recommend filling fixtures with an antifreeze solution. Other tasks involve <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-steps-winterize-your-sprinkler-system.htm">winterizing sprinklers</a>, sealing foundation vents, check weatherproofing around doors and windows, and more.</p></div>
