Best roofers near Albany, TX

Q: When should you not use a metal roof?

• <div><p>You should avoid choosing a metal roof if your home has a weak structural support system, as metal roofs can be heavier than roofs made of other materials. If you're in a region prone to frequent hailstorms or high winds, you also need to be aware that denting may occur.</p></div>

Q: How much overhang should shingles have?

• <div><p>Yes, shingles should overhang the drip edge, typically between 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch. An overhang shorter than 1/2-inch can allow wind-driven rain to get under the shingles and damage the roof deck or fascia. Conversely, an overhang longer than 3/4-inch increases the risk of shingles getting caught by strong winds, which can lead to roof uplift. Always check your local building code for exact overhang requirements in your area.</p></div>

Q: Which is better: a metal or shingle roof?

• <div><p>Whether a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/are-metal-roofs-better-shingles.htm">metal or shingle roof is better </a>for you depends on your preferences. Standing seam metal roofs require little to no maintenance, but if you install a screw-down metal roof where the fasteners are exposed, the gaskets on the fasteners will dry rot and need to be replaced. Generally, screw-down metal roofs need to be re-screwed every 15 to 20 years.</p><p>Metal roofs are energy-efficient and have extended warranties, while asphalt shingles are less durable than most. They tend to lose color and get damaged over time, and absorb heat from the sun.</p></div>

Q: How long can you leave a tarp on a roof?

• <div><p>A properly installed, high-quality tarp can be left on a roof for up to 90 days. However, this is only a temporary measure and not a substitute for proper roof repair or replacement. Thinner tarps or those exposed to heavy wind and rain may not last the full 90 days, so it's important to monitor the tarp's condition to ensure it continues to protect your roof from the elements.</p></div>

Q: Is it more inexpensive to build or buy roof trusses?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re building the roof trusses yourself, which isn&rsquo;t recommended, it will be more affordable than buying pre-built trusses. Trusses cost more because they use the same amount of material, but you&rsquo;ll also be paying for the labor, as well as the delivery to your home. However, if you&rsquo;re having a contractor build the roof for you, then trusses will be less expensive, as the labor <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/roof-framing-cost.htm">costs to build roof framing</a> on-site will cost more. </p></div>

It was a BAD experience. We signed a contract and they changed the price twice after the fact. They changed the price once before they started. They used the excuse that the guy who did the bidding was on medication. Not my problem. I know that sounds a bit harsh, but they should never have sent...

"Rep. checked entire system. He found several wires not connected properly and fixed this. He also made recommendations regarding the attachment of the panels to the rood that would provide more stability and leakproofing. The representative appeared to know what he was doing - much better than others, including the representative who was engaged by the roofer (who replaced our rood due to hail damage) to disconnect/connect the panels."
