Q: Should unused chimneys be capped?

• <div><p>Yes, you should cap unused chimneys to prevent damage caused by invasive critters, downdrafts, and moisture build-up. This method of capping a locked-off chimney will properly secure the structure and help maintain its integrity for years to come. Consult a chimney professional about the best type of chimney or flue cap to add to your chimney.</p></div>

Q: Do roofers need to be licensed?

• <div><p>Many states require roofers to be licensed, and some states don&rsquo;t mandate licensing. You can use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to check if a roofing company holds the proper licensing for your area. A licensed roofing contractor will provide reliable roof installation service, leading to a reduced risk of leaks in the future, which can be expensive to repair. Paying more for a licensed roofer upfront often means paying less over time.</p></div>

Q: How long do new roofs last?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-roof-last.htm">new roof will last</a> anywhere from 15 to 150 years, depending on the type of roof you install. Asphalt shingle roofs have the shortest lifespan of 15 to 30 years. Metal roofs usually last for 30 to 60 years, but some materials can fall outside of that range. Clay and concrete roofs can last for 50 to 100 years, and slate roofs have the longest lifespan of 60 to 150 years.</p><p></p></div>

Q: Is it necessary to put wood stripping under a metal roof?

• <div><p>It is not always necessary to put <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/it-necessary-or-important-put-wood-stripping-under-metal-roof.htm">wood stripping (also called furring strips) under a metal roof</a>, but some metal roofs require stripping to work efficiently. For example, you must use furring strips when installing metal over shingles in order to connect the shingles to the metal roofing. These strips are made of metal or wood. They create thermal breaks and provide a solid frame to which you can attach the metal roofing. A lack of wood stripping can cause condensation issues under certain roofs, so use the roofing manufacturer&rsquo;s specifications as your guide.</p></div>

Q: Can rain come in through ridge vents?

• <div><p>Rain shouldn&rsquo;t come in through your ridge vents unless your vents are damaged or the rain is accompanied by very high winds. Most ridge vents use flashing or baffling to keep out rain, snow, and debris. If your ridge vent isn&rsquo;t baffled, rain is more likely to enter your attic, so ridge vents with baffles are a better choice in areas with regular rainfall.</p></div>
