Q: How much should you pay a roofer upfront?

• <div><p>Ideally, you shouldn&rsquo;t <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-pay-roofing-contractor-front.htm">pay your roofer upfront</a> unless you&rsquo;re special-ordering materials. However, anything between 10% and 15% of the project&rsquo;s cost is reasonable to pay upfront. Avoid making a final payment until after the roof gets completed.</p></div>

Q: Is a roof overlay worth it?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re choosing between a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-new-roof-vs-overlay.htm">roof overlay and a tear-off</a>, opt for a tear-off and full roof replacement instead of a roof overlay if possible. The cost savings from an overlay can easily be eclipsed by repair costs, the effects of structural damage from the additional weight, and needing to replace your roof sooner than expected. A full replacement will last longer and is less likely to need damage repaired over time.</p></div>

Q: How long do architectural shingles last?

• <div><p>Most architectural shingles last for between 20 and 30 years in areas that see strong winds or hailstorms, and many come with manufacturer warranties for specific extreme weather that last for between 30 and 50 years, though this long of a life span is rare. Given that homeowners usually upgrade to architectural shingles in areas that come with a higher risk of roof damage, scheduling a roof inspection to determine your roof&rsquo;s remaining life is a good idea.</p></div>

Q: Are stone-coated steel roofs noisy?

• <div><p>Metal roofs have a bad reputation for being loud, even if that's not necessarily true&mdash;it's usually only thin tin or sheet metal roofs that are loud during storms. Stone coating adds a layer to the metal that severely cuts down on any noise from rain. In many ways, stone-coated steel roofs are quieter than your average, run-of-the-mill asphalt shingle roof.</p></div>

We had a emergency due to a pipe break in the slab. The plumber arrived within 2 hours and I was able to track him online. Ultimately the leak was fixed by cutting and capping the hard water line to the house but it took a while for the plumber to figure things out. He did not inspire...
