Q: What is a good slope for a shed roof?

• <div><p>The most common slope, or roof pitch, for a shed is 4:12 or four inches of height for every horizontal foot. For areas that experience heavy snow loads, a steeper roof of 6:12 or 9:12 is best. </p></div>

Q: How do I verify if a roofer is licensed and insured?

• <div><p>Verify that your roof is licensed and insured by visiting your state's contractor's licensing association. Most states have a database to double-check your contractor's name and address against the information provided. The contractor should also display both their license and insurance on their website with links to the related agencies.</p></div>

Q: Are metal roofs noisy?

• <div><p>Metal roofs have a reputation for being noisy, but with proper installation and adequate insulation, they are not significantly noisier than shingle roofs. The type of metal used can affect the sound level; for instance, steel roofs are typically noisier than slate or asphalt tiles but quieter than aluminum. While some people find the sound of rain on a metal roof pleasant, you can take steps to reduce the noise. Installing a thicker underlayment, adding insulation between the roof and the house, or using acoustic tiles can effectively muffle the sound. The gauge (thickness) of the metal roofing can also contribute to sound dampening.</p></div>

Q: Is it more inexpensive to build or buy roof trusses?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re building the roof trusses yourself, which isn&rsquo;t recommended, it will be more affordable than buying pre-built trusses. Trusses cost more because they use the same amount of material, but you&rsquo;ll also be paying for the labor, as well as the delivery to your home. However, if you&rsquo;re having a contractor build the roof for you, then trusses will be less expensive, as the labor <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/roof-framing-cost.htm">costs to build roof framing</a> on-site will cost more. </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>

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.
