Q: What is the formula for measuring a roof?

• <div><p>The common formula for measuring a roof is length x width equals square footage. Professional roofers measure the length and width of your roof, including dormers, and determine its pitch and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/roof-rafters-size.htm">rafter sizes</a>. If a roof surface is a triangle, they&rsquo;ll divide that square footage by two, then add up the square footage of each surface to get the total for the roof.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a gable vent and a ridge vent?

• <div><p>Gable vents are more common in older homes built before the 1970s. Homes built after this era use ridge vents or soffits, but you can sometimes find homes with <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-using-ridge-vents-should-gable-vents-be-sealed.htm">both gable and ridge vents</a>. Gable vents can have a purely aesthetic purpose, while ridge vents hide in the roof shingles so air can flow under the roof while keeping the attic dry.</p></div>

Q: Is replacing the roof a good investment?

• <div><p>Yes, replacing a roof is always a good investment if the current one is in poor condition. Not only will it preserve the structural integrity of the home, but it can also add value at the time of sale. The average return on investment for a new roof is between 48% and 61%. Prospective buyers are also more likely to purchase a home with a recently replaced roof since that means they won&rsquo;t need to worry about that expense in the near future. </p></div>

Q: What is the best pitch for a porch roof?

• <div><p>The minimum recommended slope for a porch roof is 1/4:12, which means 1/4-inch of rise every 12 inches of run. Slopes of 3:12 and 4:12 are more common and provide faster drainage for runoff. Make sure to choose a pitch that&rsquo;s appropriate both for the climate in your area and the type of roof material you install. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-choosing-roofing-contractor.htm">Hire a roofer</a> if you need help determining what the right roof pitch is. </p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of wood shake roofing?

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.
