Q: Do you need to use underlayment under metal roofing?

• <div><p>Yes, an underlayment is required for metal roofs, especially when installed over an indoor residential living space. This underlayment acts as a protective barrier between the metal roofing and the roof deck. Common materials include tar, asphalt felt, or woven synthetic polymers. Depending on local building codes, existing shingles in good condition may also suffice. A quality underlayment is crucial as it provides protection against water intrusion, improves energy efficiency through insulation, helps absorb sound, and ultimately extends the lifespan of your roof.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to walk on an asbestos roof?

• <div><p>Walking on an asbestos roof can pose a risk. Asbestos roofing materials can become brittle over time, increasing the chances of them breaking or releasing fibers when stepped on. Additionally, walking on an asbestos roof without proper precautions can cause further damage to the material. If possible, avoid touching an asbestos roof in any way and consult with a professional about removing and replacing the roof. </p></div>

Q: How long does a cedar shake roof last?

• <div><p>When installed and maintained properly, a cedar shake roof should last up to 60 years. Severe weather and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/10-things-check-your-roof-after-high-winds.htm">high winds will damage your roof</a>, reducing its life span. Expect a shorter life span if the roofer didn't use top-grade material, didn&rsquo;t have cedar shake expertise, didn&rsquo;t create the proper ventilation, or didn&rsquo;t use the correct fasteners. Keeping up with maintenance will help it last longer. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to get roof inspections on a regular basis to help spot repairs before they become major issues.</p></div>

Q: Can you have a thatched roof in the U.S.?

• <div><p>Yes, thatched roofs are legal in most areas in the U.S., but you should always check your local building codes to ensure there are no restrictions in your particular area before installing one. Even where they are legal, you&rsquo;ll usually need to apply fireproofing to the roof to keep it up to code. Keep in mind that a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-new-roof-increase-home-value.htm">new roof might not increase home value</a> as much if you choose a thatched roof, as they aren&rsquo;t common in the U.S. and might not be as desirable to many home buyers.</p></div>

Q: Can you move a chimney?

• <div><p>Moving a chimney is possible, but it is a very complex process that requires professional expertise, knowledge of building codes, and safety protocols. Most homeowners find it easier to remove the fireplace and build a new fireplace and chimney in the new location of your home. Talk to your chimney pro about all your options, their costs, and pros and cons. </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.
