Q: What size staples are best for roof shingles?

• <div><p><b>16-gauge galvanized steel staples</b> with a minimum crown of <b>15/16 inches</b> or <b>24 millimeters</b> are occasionally used to install shingles. However, most shingle manufacturers or residential building codes don&rsquo;t recommend staples as a roofing fastener. Roofing nails are preferred in most cases, especially in areas that get a lot of heavy wind.</p></div>

Q: Which is better for my shed, a flat roof or a sloped roof?

• <div><p>Whether you should choose a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/flat-roof-better-sloped-roof.htm">flat roof or a sloped roof</a> depends on your particular situation. Flat roofs tend to be less expensive to install. However, sloped roofs have longer lifespans and stand up better to heavy snow and other inclement weather.</p><p>Keep in mind that even a flat roof needs to have a slight slope, usually around 1/2 inch for every foot. If it is completely flat, water will pool and cause damage, either from weight or leakage or rot.</p></div>

Q: How long do rubber shingles last?

• <div><p>Rubber shingles last for around 30 years, on average, and some can last for and include warranties for up to 50 years. Rubber roof shingles are more expensive than asphalt shingles, but they can last up to twice as long, meaning they provide more value in the long run. Just keep in mind that rubber roofs often require more maintenance than asphalt shingle roofs, including routine cleaning to avoid mold growth. Ask the roofer <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-find-out-who-installed-my-roof.htm">who installed your roof</a> for an estimate for routine cleaning, if necessary.</p></div>

Q: Does insurance cover soft spots on the roof?

• <div><p>Homeowners insurance does not usually cover roof soft spot repair. Since this damage is usually caused by wear and tear and often found on aging roofs, your insurance claim will likely be rejected. If a soft spot develops due to damage from a storm, repairs may be covered, but in general, expect to pay out of pocket for soft spot repairs. </p></div>

Q: Can I negotiate the terms of the roofing estimate with the contractor?

• <div><p>Whether or not the terms of your roofing estimate are negotiable depends on the contractor. Some professional roofers will be willing to budge on labor fees to some extent, while others will simply walk away from the potential work rather than lower their fees. In most cases, it&rsquo;s best not to negotiate the terms, as lower labor charges could lead to your contractor cutting corners. Material costs aren&rsquo;t negotiable, but you could purchase them yourself to try to save on delivery fees and markups.</p></div>

A.L Portland Roofing installed a new metal roof for me, and I couldn’t be happier! The crew was professional, on time, and very detail-oriented. The roof looks beautiful and solid, and I know it’s built to last. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for quality and reliability.
