Q: Does torch down roofing installation come with liability?

• <div><p>More and more insurance companies are writing torch down applications out of their liability insurance for contractors. If torch down is covered, they generally require a worker to stay on site for two hours after the last flame is extinguished.</p><p>For this reason, cold application modified bitumen&mdash;also known as &ldquo;peel and stick&rdquo;&mdash;is becoming more popular, and torch down is decreasing in popularity. Modified bitumen is taking its place, as it uses both hot and cold applications.</p></div>

Q: How much damage does a roof need to be replaced?

• <div><p>In general, you should consider <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-roof-replacement-cost.htm">replacing your roof</a> if more than 30% of it is damaged. This includes several missing shingles, large spots of granule loss, extreme curling or cracking, structural damage to the roof's decking, or multiple areas of leaks. All of these issues could indicate compromised structural integrity that requires roof replacement. </p></div>

Q: How long will a green roof last?

• <div><p>Green roofs are incredibly long-lasting. Some have life spans of up to 40 or 50 years. Since the roofs help to protect the rest of your home's roofing system, they can also extend the life of your existing roof.</p><p>Regular maintenance and inspections will help you get the most out of your green roof and ensure it lasts as long as possible.</p></div>

Q: Do tile roofs keep a house cooler?

• <div><p>Yes, clay and concrete tile roofs will keep your home cooler in the summer for two reasons. First, the material has low heat conductivity, so heat transfer from the sunlight and the outside air to your home will be very slow. Additionally, tile roofs have air gaps between the tiles and the roof decking, which helps further insulate your structure from heat gain. Light-colored tile is especially energy-efficient and will minimize how much outside heat transfers into your home.</p></div>

Q: Do metal roofs make your house hot?

• <div><p>No, a metal roof will not make your house hot. In fact, metal roofs help keep your home cooler by reflecting heat instead of absorbing and transmitting it inside. Metal also has high thermal conductivity, which means it gains and loses heat quickly. While the sun may heat the metal, the roof rapidly transfers that heat back into the air rather than retaining it. This reflective property can lead to energy cost savings of up to 40%, as your cooling system won't need to work as hard to maintain a consistent indoor temperature.</p></div>
