Q: What’s the difference between a roof estimate and a roof inspection?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-need-roofing-estimate-or-inspection.htm">Roofing estimates and inspections</a> are not the same thing. Roofing inspections (whether done with a drone or by the traditional method) help you find any damage or defects on a roof. You will pay a set fee for a roofing inspection and use it to get certification or to determine whether repair or replacement is necessary. Beware of unsolicited contractors coming to your home and offering a so-called <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/free-roof-inspection.htm">free roof inspection</a>&mdash;these are often scams.</p><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-tips-get-best-roofing-estimate.htm">Roofing estimates</a>, on the other hand, are typically free and offered by a roofing company hoping to earn your business. Some roofing estimates are performed with drones, while other companies will still opt to send people up onto the roof. Either way, the estimate is for roof repair or replacement costs the company wants you to hire them for. </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>

Q: What is the best material for roof decking?

• <div><p>The best material to sheath a roof will depend on your budget and if you require the strength of more robust materials. For most homes, the added strength is unnecessary, and oriented strand board, or OSB, makes sense. It&rsquo;s inexpensive and robust enough for most roof types. Another popular but slightly more expensive option is plywood.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between cedar shakes and cedar shingles?

• <div><p>Though cedar shakes often get confused with shingles, there are a few key differences between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wood-shake-vs-shingle.htm">wood shakes and wood shingles.</a> For one, cedar shingle prices are lower, although shingles are less durable than wood shakes. Cedar shakes are thicker than shingles (shingles range from about 3/8 to 1/2 inches thick, compared to 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick for shakes). Wood shakes are handmade, while shingles are usually machine-made. Also, wood shakes work better on steeper roofs than shingles do. While the cost of cedar shingles is more budget-friendly, there are many great reasons to choose shakes.</p></div>

Q: Can I repair the roof myself?

• <div><p>Roof work is dangerous and exacting, and a misstep could lead to even more costly repairs, so we do not recommend DIYing. If you are dead set on giving it a go, practice safety measures. Wear a harness, only work during mild weather, and have a partner to help. Potentially DIY-friendly jobs include patching up small leaks, sealing areas around the chimney, and replacing a few shingles.</p></div>

"Deep East Texas Roofing did an excellent job installing the metal roof and wall sections for my shop. The results were exactly what I wanted and it actually looks better than I expected. Each crew member knew what he was to do next and how to do it right. Their work exhibited strong attention to detail and precision and they did a good job of cleaning up the job site.

"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."
