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: Do all bay windows need a roof?

• <div><p>If the bay window extends beyond your existing roofline, you must add a roof or a small &ldquo;skirt&rdquo; to divert storm water and prevent water damage. The window roof can match your existing house roof, or be finished with copper or other decorative materials. Most bay windows have a roof with complete flashing regardless of their placement to prevent leaks into the home.</p></div>

Q: Should you close or cover gable vents in the winter?

• <div><p>No, you should not close or cover your gable vents in the winter. While it might seem logical to block cold air, heating your home creates hot air that rises and can cause condensation in the attic. If the vents are covered, this moisture becomes trapped, creating an ideal environment for mold and mildew. Keeping the gable vents open ensures proper ventilation, which helps dry out the attic, maintain even temperatures, and prevent moisture-related damage.</p></div>

Q: What is a good roof slope for snow?

• <div><p>The most common slope range for roofs on houses in snowy areas is between <b>4/12 and 6/12</b>, or <b>50%</b>. A roof with a slope of less than <b>10%</b>, or roughly a<b> 2/12 pitch</b>, won&rsquo;t be effective at shedding snow. However, roofs that are too steep can allow large amounts of snow to build up and fall all at once, creating a hazard for those on the ground. </p></div>

Q: Can you replace drip edge without removing shingles?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s possible to replace drip edge flashing without removing shingles, but it&rsquo;s not a good idea. You&rsquo;ll have to lift the bottom shingles up to remove the old drip edge, install the new material, and then lay the lifted roofing material over the new drip edge. Bending roof shingles can cause damage, and if you have ongoing issues with roof leaks that prompt drip edge replacement, it&rsquo;s a good idea to consider a roof and drip edge replacement to avoid ongoing issues.</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.

"Kenney, Chuck, William and Jeff took off my metal roof and replaced it with shingles. They worked in the rain, snow and sleet, came every morning at 7:00 am and worked till dark. They all worked very hard never complained and Kenney always answered any questions we had. They job was BIG and messy but I can't say enough good things abut this Company. Kenney won't take advantage of anyone. He and his crew are very trust worthy.. Thanks for coming to our aid. The roof looks great!"
