Should there be a gap between the roof and the wall?

• <div><p>There should be small gaps between your roof and the walls of your home, and other buildings. These small gaps let building materials shift, expand, and contract with weather and other outside forces, and they prevent moisture from wicking down walls from roofing and gutter systems. Without these strategic gaps, your home’s exterior and its finishes can sustain water damage, decay, peel, delaminate, and crack. However, there is a fine line between a smart gap and a problematic gap—all gaps should be small, intentional, and covered or filled in with foam insulation to prevent pests from using them as access points.</p></div>

What time of year is the best to replace a roof?

• <div><p>Fall is usually considered the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-best-time-install-roof.htm">best time of year to replace a roof</a>, as the temperatures are moderate, and having your living space exposed to the outdoors won’t cause extreme temperatures inside. Spring could also work, but the higher risk of rainfall makes fall the best time of year overall. You can opt for a replacement in the summer or spring to avoid peak demand and potentially save some money, though.</p></div>

Q: How long does a roll roof last?

• <div><p>Roll roofs don&rsquo;t last as long as traditional roofs, like those made of asphalt shingles. A roll roof typically lasts between five and 15 years, whereas a shingled roof will last between 20 and 50 years. Modified bitumen roofs are similar in look to rolled roofing but have a 12 to 15 year warranty.</p></div>

Q: Does a chimney liner have to go down or up when fitting?

• <div><p>A chimney liner is typically easier to install by pushing it down through the chimney with the help of a rope. Depending on your fireplace and the type of liner, installing it by pushing it up through the chimney could work, but operating from the top down is usually the best option.</p></div>

Q: Do roofers cover my roof during bad weather?

• <div><p>Roofing replacements and repairs expose the interior of your home to the elements. Failing to protect these areas during inclement weather can cause extensive damage and job delays. Have a conversation with your pro to learn their plans to use tarps, plastic sheeting, or other waterproofing methods to keep your home safe. Also, ask whether your pro will inspect your home during rain or snow to ensure the covering works.</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...
