Q: What’s the difference between a mansard roof and a gambrel roof?

• <div><p>A gambrel roof and a mansard roof are similar in that they are both hipped roofs, meaning they have double slopes&mdash;one steep and one more gradual above the steep slope. The difference is that a gambrel roof has a double slope on only two sides of the structure, whereas a mansard roof has a double slope on all four sides.</p></div>

Q: What are the recommended thickness and spacing for furring strips on a metal roof?

• <div><p>The proper specifications for furring strips can vary, so you should always consult the roofing manufacturer's guidelines or your roofer. However, general recommendations are as follows:</p><ul><li><p><b>Thickness:</b> Furring strips are typically 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick, meaning standard 1-by or 2-by lumber works well. In areas with extreme winds, a thinner strip may be preferred to limit how much air can get under the roof and cause uplift. A thicker strip can add slightly more insulation but will also increase installation costs.</p></li><li><p><b>Spacing:</b> The recommended spacing for furring strips is between 12 and 24 inches apart on center. Proper spacing is crucial for ensuring good airflow, adequate drainage, noise reduction, and better energy efficiency. The ideal spacing can depend on the roof's pitch and the specific type of metal roofing being installed.</p></li></ul></div>

Q: Can a roof blister cause a leak?

• <div><p>Yes, a roof blister can cause a leak if it gets to the point where it pops. Prior to popping, a roof blister is just an aesthetic issue, but once it pops, you&rsquo;re left with a small hole in the shingle. Water from rain and snow can easily get inside this hole and interact with your underlayment, roof decking, and the building material below.</p></div>

Q: Do I need gable vents if I have a ridge vent?

• <div><p>No, you do not need gable vents if you have a ridge vent. In fact, gable vents would actually interrupt the process that ridge vents are set to conduct. You would be better off to decide between the two depending on your home&rsquo;s needs.</p></div>

Q: What happens if a roof pitch is too shallow?

• <div><p>A roof pitch that&rsquo;s too shallow won&rsquo;t shed runoff as quickly, so you have an increased risk of water intrusion through the seams between your roofing materials. In colder climates, snow and ice will accumulate more easily on your roof, which can add enough weight to cause roof collapse and structural damage to your home. </p></div>

We hired Cody to take care of removing some old buildings and a lot of mesquite. He did an amazing job! He is very honest and his communication is like no other. He kept us updated every day that he worked. If you need demo work, or brush clearing, I would highly recommend Cody!
