You can leave a tarp of a roof for up to 90 days if installed correctly. Tarping a roof is only a temporary measure and should not be a substitute for roofing repair or replacement.

Unlike wood decks, Trex decking doesn’t warp. That’s one of the key benefits of installing this decking material. Over time, common issues with these decks include hard water stains, mold or mildew growth, and stains from food spills. Thankfully, with proper cleaning, you can get rid of most stains and mold.

Here are a few examples of questions to ask a roofer before hiring them:

• Do you have a license for roof replacement and repair?

• Do you hold any special certifications?

• Will you be completing all of the work or subcontracting portions of it?

• How long will the replacement take?

• Are you removing my old roof or placing new shingles on top?

• Do you provide a warranty for the work or the materials?

• What recourse do I have if I run into leaks or other issues?

• Do you have customer references I could call?

Building code allows 24-inch on-center spacing for roof trusses. However, you can install them on 12- or 16-inch centers to handle large loads or other exceptional circumstances. In cases such as covering a wide span or supporting alternative roofing materials, where a structural engineer needs to evaluate or create a design for your trusses, the plans will indicate the spacing.
