"Excellent! Crew arrived, started working stopped for lunch and left late, but roof on house and carport were 95% done. Came back next day trimmed up a couple things and cleaned up really well. We are very happy with the roof and the gutters will complete the job. Well done!"

"SlopePro was the right choice. John and Alden were very knowledgeable and professional. We trusted the expert advice they gave us about our roofing needs. While many roofers would try to replace the roof for a quick profit, SlopePro explained the reasons to consider other options. The integrity of this company is very high."

"I recently had a fantastic experience with Repair Pro for a much-needed roof repair, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. ​From the very first call, their professionalism shone through. I was worried about a sudden leak, and the team at Repair Pro was incredibly responsive. They scheduled an inspection quickly, and the technician was right on time, courteous, and extremely thorough. ​They clearly explained the damage (a few missing shingles and resulting water penetration), showed me pictures, and gave me a clear, fair quote with no pressure for unnecessary extras. ​The repair work itself was completed efficiently and meticulously. The crew was respectful of my property, took care to protect the landscaping, and performed a very thorough cleanup—you couldn't even tell they had been there, aside from the brand-new, perfectly matched shingles on my roof! ​Most importantly, the repair has held up perfectly through the last few heavy rainfalls. It’s a huge relief to know the issue w"

Roofing questions, answered by experts

Gable vents are more common in older homes built before the 1970s. Homes built after this era use ridge vents or soffits, but you can sometimes find homes with both gable and ridge vents. Gable vents can have a purely aesthetic purpose, while ridge vents hide in the roof shingles so air can flow under the roof while keeping the attic dry.

Properly maintained roof decking can last between 20 and 30 years on average, though it varies based on a few factors. Mainly, the quality of roof decking materials and environmental conditions have the most impact on longevity. You can extend its lifespan by regularly inspecting your roof and making repairs as necessary.

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:

  • Thickness: 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.

  • Spacing: 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.

Framing a roof can take from several days to a week or more, depending on the size and complexity of the roof, the number of people working on the framing, weather conditions, and more. Roof framing is often the final step of framing a house, although in some cases, the roof may be framed before the interior of the home in order to offer more protection from the elements.

During the framing process, builders connect the roof to the walls with materials, including metal connectors, plywood panels, and wood blocks. These roof-to-wall connections are important and provide weatherproofing, noise and temperature insulation, protection against pests, and home integrity. The type of connector and method used will vary, depending on your home’s construction and needs, and each has pros and cons in terms of cost, noise insulation, longevity, and reliability. Talk with your home or roofing contractor about the best connectors for your roof and walls, and what they recommend for your home.
