Q: What is a good slope for a shed roof?

• <div><p>The most common slope, or roof pitch, for a shed is 4:12 or four inches of height for every horizontal foot. For areas that experience heavy snow loads, a steeper roof of 6:12 or 9:12 is best. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a gable vent and a ridge vent?

• <div><p>Gable vents are more common in older homes built before the 1970s. Homes built after this era use ridge vents or soffits, but you can sometimes find homes with <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-using-ridge-vents-should-gable-vents-be-sealed.htm">both gable and ridge vents</a>. Gable vents can have a purely aesthetic purpose, while ridge vents hide in the roof shingles so air can flow under the roof while keeping the attic dry.</p></div>

Q: How long do architectural shingles last and when should they be replaced?

• <div><p>Architectural shingles typically last between 20 and 30 years, though most homeowners should plan on replacing them every 20 to 25 years. While some manufacturers offer warranties for 30 to 50 years, especially for extreme weather, achieving such a long lifespan is rare. The actual lifespan can be shorter in areas prone to strong winds, hailstorms, or other extreme weather. It is recommended to replace your roof before it reaches the end of its life to reduce the risk of roof failure, leaks, and costly property damage. Scheduling regular roof inspections will help you determine your roof's remaining life and identify the best timeline for replacement.</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 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>

They did an exceptional job. My attic was really tight and they got in there and got everything done and they air sealed it cheaper than other guys were just going to do the insulation. They cleaned up after. They were also very personable. I'm very happy with their work.

"J. A. Kay Roofing was excellent to work with. Honest, fast and they did an incredible job. Once the roof was complete they cleaned up everything and you would have never even known they were there except we had a new roof! Highly recommend!"

The finished product as seen at the completion of the job. This roof will come with a 30 year material warranty from the manufacturer.

The ridge is especially thick, not only providing impact resistance but also a very fancy looking roof.

These new shingles will last for many years to come.
