How long do thatched roofs last?

• <div><p>Thatched <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-roof-last.htm">roofs last</a> for between 30 and 50 years in most cases, which is longer than most asphalt roofs. However, getting that life span from your thatched roof requires more maintenance than you’d need for most other materials, including fireproofing, brushing, cleaning, and rethatching as the material gets worn down. You’ll also need routine inspections to ensure you’re not at risk of leaks.</p></div>

Q: What is the life expectancy of roofing felt?

• <div><p>Roofing felt is the most common type of roof underlayment, likely because it has been around the longest. It&rsquo;s called roofing felt because it is often made of felt soaked in asphalt. Depending on the type of roofing a home has, roofing felt comes in different thicknesses. </p><p>If properly installed and maintained, roofing felt should last between 10 and 25 years. </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. 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.</p></div>

Q: How do you strengthen roof framing?

• <div><p>The most crucial roof-strengthening method is achievable by following proper construction methods and guidelines from the start. To strengthen an existing roof, framers and DIYers can add hurricane ties or straps to the structure, sister rafters and other framing or truss members, or install additional fasteners or adhesives where necessary. </p></div>

Q: How much does a square of shingles weigh?

• <div><p>A square of shingles covers 100 square feet and usually ranges from 150 to 240 pounds. It all depends on the material and type of shingle.</p></div>

Used new logs for two seasons. The gas logs (insert) were less efficient than the ones they took out. The fan was very loud and annoying, even embarrassing when company was over. I could hear air coming down the flue and it also made a lot of noise. He did not cap it off or put anything in it to...

Very thorough, very professional. Ran a number of tests to see what was causing the coolant to leak, and replaced the radiator cap (I know little about cars). They tested it further, but only charged me for cost of parts and labor. I will definitely use them again!
