Q: How serious is a roof leak?

• <div><p>Roof leaks develop quickly and can cause serious damage to your house and in extreme cases, quite nearly ruin it. Roof leaks have been known to affect even the foundations of a home, so taking care of any issues as soon as they pop up&mdash;or even before&mdash;is of the utmost importance.</p></div>

Q: Can verbal agreements or handshakes be binding for roofing projects?

• <div><p>Technically speaking, yes, verbal agreements and &ldquo;handshake deals&rdquo; can be legally binding contracts that will hold up in court, but the suing party will need to be able to prove that the parties entered into the contract. Even though verbal and handshake deals can be binding, it&rsquo;s risky to rely on these types of agreements for anything, including roofing projects. Always aim to get your contract in writing, and make sure it includes all terms and that you don&rsquo;t agree to additional terms that don&rsquo;t appear in the contract.</p></div>

Q: How long should a tile roof last?

• <div><p>A well-maintained tile roof can last anywhere from 40 to over 100 years, with its exact lifespan depending on the material and level of care. Proper maintenance, which includes keeping the roof clean, free of debris, and performing routine repairs for any cracked tiles, is crucial for longevity. The lifespan varies significantly by tile type:</p><ul><li><p>Clay, terracotta, and slate tiles are highly durable and can last over 100 years.</p></li><li><p>Concrete tiles typically last from 30 to 100 years.</p></li><li><p>Metal tile roofs generally last between 40 and 70 years.</p></li><li><p>Composite tile roofs have a lifespan of 20 to 50 years.</p></li></ul><p>Be aware that maintenance for a tile roof can sometimes be more expensive than for an asphalt roof.</p></div>

Q: Are icicles on a roof a sign of poor insulation or another problem?

• <div><p>While a few icicles on your roof are standard, a large accumulation can be a sign of a bigger problem, such as poor insulation. This is particularly true if you are also dealing with ice dams. If you have numerous large icicles, it is recommended to have a roofing contractor diagnose potential insulation issues and create a plan to solve them.</p></div>

Q: Do you need permission to raise your roof?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;re going to need a permit for nearly every roof-raising project. This is a very important step, as the work you&rsquo;re doing has serious safety considerations. Professionals are the ones to handle this type of work&mdash;including sourcing the permits&mdash;as they have the expertise required to perform the work safely. Insurance and warranty are usually voided if you do this work without a permit, and you may even be required to halt construction and tear it down as a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/common-problems-when-you-dont-pull-permit.htm">penalty for working without a building permit</a>. </p></div>

Very pleased with the results. Kenny added a covered patio, replaced the siding and put a metal roof on my 100+ year old house. The difference is amazing. He is the kind of guy you are hoping to find when you need a contractor.

"The provider requested OK from Choice Warranty and he was denied. It rained last night and rain came into my home. It could have been avoided if Choice had just approved what I requested. Now, the damage will be greater than necessary. I blame Choice home warranty for my home damage. Now it will cost mote than a simple tarp could have prevented until I could get money to repair roof. The provider was great and tried his best to get something done to my roof but Choice Warranty was horrible and no help. They get a "zero" from me"
