Does shoveling your roof prevent ice dams?

• <div><p>Removing snow from your roof can help prevent ice dams, but the best thing to do is address insulation issues in your attic. If you do decide to remove the snow manually, you should always use a roof rake rather than a shovel. You shouldn’t climb your snowy roof in any circumstance, and roof rake allows you to remove the snow from the ground or a ladder. For the best results, remove snow as soon as possible after it falls.</p></div>

Q: Can roof cleaning cause leaks?

• <div><p>An improper DIY roof cleaning could cause leaks by damaging the roofing material. Things like using too much water pressure on the shingles or applying a harsh cleaning solution could cause damage. If you do enough damage, you could harm the ability of the shingles or other roof materials to keep water out of your home.</p></div>

Q: Can you walk on a stone-coated steel roof?

• <div><p>Sticky shoes help, but you shouldn't be walking on the steel roof&mdash; let the pros do that. it's dangerous enough to walk on asphalt shingled roofs which have quite a bit of texture. Stone coating adds a lot of grip, but it still doesn't lock your foot down, so if you absolutely have to be on the roof, make sure you&rsquo;re secured in another way, like with the harness and rope.</p></div>

Q: Is it necessary to put wood stripping under a metal roof?

• <div><p>It is not always necessary to put <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/it-necessary-or-important-put-wood-stripping-under-metal-roof.htm">wood stripping (also called furring strips) under a metal roof</a>, but some metal roofs require stripping to work efficiently. For example, you must use furring strips when installing metal over shingles in order to connect the shingles to the metal roofing. These strips are made of metal or wood. They create thermal breaks and provide a solid frame to which you can attach the metal roofing. A lack of wood stripping can cause condensation issues under certain roofs, so use the roofing manufacturer&rsquo;s specifications as your guide.</p></div>

Q: How do different elements influence the cost of installing roof heating cables?

• <div><p>Costs depend on cable length, roof pitch, labor, and whether additional electrical work is needed.</p></div>

I believe that their objective is to use scare tactics in an attempt to take advantage of people and pressure them into spending HUGE amounts of money necessarily. I have a 10' wide, 30+ foot tall, solid rock masonry chimney (as in it is constructed of solid rock). It is also lined with a clay...

This was not a good experience. The "$50 house call" advertised on the website, I found out only after the technician had arrived, applies only to a simple "get this snake out of my kitchen" call. The charge for setting & baiting two live traps for a 5-day period was an outrageous $200 (one...
