Q: Can you add a drip edge to an existing roof?

• <div><p>Yes, but it won't be as effective as installing it as part of a new roof because it won't be as water-resistant. However, a drip edge installed after the fact is better than no drip edge at all.</p></div>

Q: Why do asphalt shingles blister?

• <div><p>Asphalt shingles blister when air gets trapped between building materials, either within the layers of the shingle itself or in adhesives on the undersides of the shingles. As the roof heats up in direct sunlight, the trapped gas expands and creates a bubble in the roof. Eventually, the bubble can pop, leaving an exposed area of decking and underlayment.</p></div>

Q: Are furring strips necessary for a metal roof and why?

• <div><p>Furring strips (also called wood stripping) are not always necessary for a metal roof installation, but they are highly recommended and may be required by local building codes or the roofing manufacturer's specifications. There are several key reasons to use them:</p><ul><li><p><b>Energy Efficiency:</b> Furring strips, made of wood or metal, create an air gap between the metal panels and the roof deck. This acts as a thermal break, reducing heat transfer into your home and improving overall energy efficiency.</p></li><li><p><b>Moisture and Condensation Control:</b> The air gap allows for better airflow, which helps prevent moisture buildup and condensation under the metal panels.</p></li><li><p><b>Structural Support:</b> They provide a solid, even frame to which you can attach the metal roofing panels.</p></li></ul><p>It is especially important to use furring strips when installing a metal roof over existing shingles. Without them, the roof surface can be uneven, and you will experience greater solar heat gain.</p></div>

Q: Can verbal agreements or handshakes be binding for roofing projects?

• <div><p>Technically speaking, yes, verbal agreements and &ldquo;handshake deals&rdquo; can be legally binding contracts that will hold up in court, but the suing party will need to be able to prove that the parties entered into the contract. Even though verbal and handshake deals can be binding, it&rsquo;s risky to rely on these types of agreements for anything, including roofing projects. Always aim to get your contract in writing, and make sure it includes all terms and that you don&rsquo;t agree to additional terms that don&rsquo;t appear in the contract.</p></div>

Q: How many times can you overlay a roof?

• <div><p>You can only overlay a roof once. Any additional layers of shingles will add too much weight and may also violate building codes. Once your roof has had an overlay, you&rsquo;ll need to have a full roof replacement, including a tear-off of all existing roofing materials, when it&rsquo;s time for a new roof. </p></div>
