Andy Roofer asked:

This is undoubtedly the most frequently asked question that all homeowners have when considering replacing a roof. The answer, however, is not a definitive one. The best way to determine how long it will take to replace a roof is to ask the roofing contractor when they are giving you an estimate.

It is important to realize that not every estimate is written in stone. A roofer may estimate that a project may take two weeks to complete, but if there are conditions that arise that delay the work, it may take longer. Sometimes bad weather is a factor that can interfere with work, so it’s always advisable to be flexible in your expectations and plan for roof replacement when the weather is good.

Sometimes roofers may discover that more work needs to be done than was originally included in the estimate. This may be due to structural damage that was revealed once they began the project. These types of circumstances could delay the replacement project as well.

The best course of action is to discuss the length of the project with the roofer and to get several estimates before choosing the roofing contractor for the job. Compare the different lengths of time that each roofer provides. You should always feel comfortable with the time frame that the roofing contractor provides you with and make sure that you have enough time available to handle the project. If a roofer tells you that they believe it would take two days to complete the roofing project, and you have plans to leave town the second day of the project, you may want to reschedule. Give yourself plenty of time to complete the project in case there are emergencies, poor weather conditions or any additional work that must be completed.

Why Does a Roof Need Ventilation?

Andy Roofer asked:

Your roof serves to protect your from the moisture that is in the elements. It seems that ventilation would be the last thing that you would expect your roof to have. After all, we are trying to keep the elements out, not open up the roof and expose ourselves to the open air. However, ventilation is a vitally important aspect of your roof’s maintenance. There is a great deal of moisture that accumulates in a home. This moisture, like heat, rises and works its way to the top of your home. Without ventilation, this moisture would accumulate and cause great deterioration to the top of your home. Ventilation allows this moisture to escape.

Likewise, ventilation also helps to bring balance to the moisture that accumulates on the roof as well. Ceiling fans, vents and ridge vents all comprise part of the ventilation system and ensure that the home, attic and roof have ample air to release moisture. The roof ventilation systems consist of both intake and exhale vents. These vents ensure the balance is regulated between the roof and the attic.

If your home doesn’t have proper ventilation, you will experience a number of problems. First, moisture will accumulate and may cause various parts of your roofing system to deteriorate. You may notice that the shingles become warped or loose and may slip off. If the water damage extends to the underlayment, you may see warping or buckling of the wood underneath the roof. This can lead to structural damage and may extend into the trusses or rafters. If these structures become damaged, they may fail to support the roof. It is extremely important that your roof has ventilation according to code specifications and that you ensure that the ventilation system is working properly. The best way to ensure that your ventilation system is installed properly is to have a professional roofer do the work for you.
