Q: Does algae hurt roof shingles?

• <div><p>While spotting a bit of algae on your roof may not bother you at first glance, it is certainly bothering your roof shingles. The presence of algae can cause decay and shorten the lifespan of your roof&rsquo;s shingles, which can lead to much bigger problems down the road. While this issue may seem cosmetic at first glance, it goes much deeper than that.</p></div>

Q: What is the life expectancy of roof underlayment?

• <div><p>Roof underlayment usually lasts as long as the roofing material that covers it, as it&rsquo;s not directly exposed to the elements. In most cases, roofing companies will replace the underlayment each time they install a new roof. In some cases, particularly with slate, clay, or certain metal roofs that can last 50 to 100 years, your underlayment may require replacement within that timeframe, especially if you start to notice roof leaks.</p></div>

Q: What happens if a roof is not vented?

• <div><p>If a roof is not vented, trapped air and moisture have nowhere to go and will cause moisture to build up in the attic. When moisture builds up, it can cause mold and mildew, leaks, and rot. It will make the space hot and stuffy, which can result in higher energy bills as the HVAC system works overtime to regulate the temperature.</p></div>

Q: How long does a tar and gravel roof last?

• <div><p>Tar and gravel roofs last an average of 30 years, which is longer than the average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-flat-roofs-last.htm">lifespan of many other flat roofs</a>. The gravel on top of the waterproof membrane helps protect the roof from UV damage and physical damage, so if you keep your roof drains clear and carry out annual roof inspections to catch issues early, you could see up to 40 years of useful life from your roof.</p></div>

Q: Which roof color is the most energy-efficient?

• <div><p>White is the most energy-efficient color for roofs because solar energy reflects off white surfaces the best. Silver is also a good choice.</p></div>

"Excellent. Dave Brisco and his crew were easy to work with. They were able to start the work soon after I signed the contract. I went to their office and selected the roofing material and color. My old roof was removed and all scrap was cleaned up and removed. The new roof was installed and, again, all debris was removed. I also had three skylights replaced. I highly recommend Brisco Roofing."
