I have never attempted roofing before. Is there anything I need to know before starting? I plan to use a Timberland shingle like our house.

Lays304 asked:


Well, I am looking for a cheap way on building a solar panel, instead of buying by the manufacturing stores. I would like to stay in the budget up to 1,000 dollars. I want to have Solar Energy for my house because the sun is always shining. Is there a way I can make the Light power some of my house? What would I need? How much time would it take?
Where can I get the items I need?

PrachiDesai36 asked:


I have picked some steel roofing out and I was wondering what price range I should expect to get. I have two very simple gable roofs one is 17sq. and the other one is 8 sq. I am planning on going over existing shingles, so no removal is needed. I am going to purchase all the materials at a local steel supplier.

lee w asked:


Does anyone have any intelligent tips on what may make a new house roof cheaper? Eg: type of materials, pitch (is one pitch cheaper than others??), style (gable v skillion??)
And any other tips to make construction cheaper would be great too. Cheers.

eve asked:


I have a metal roof on my porch and live in Florida. It gets so hot that I can’t even use the porch. I’m planning to paint it white. I went to Home Depot and there are several brands and types of roofing paint available. Do any of you have recommendations (or warnings) about what kind of paint to buy? I hope to lower the temperature at least 5 degrees.
Thanks Bandit, but I’m hoping to hear from someone with personal or professional experience with this kind of product, not a link.

iswaswill asked:


My neighbor installed her metal roofing on her new garage, 10′ from my house, using strapping that was nailed to the roof rafters with no plywood backer. Now the temperature changes make the stuff pop when the temperature increases or decreases and I get to listen to that. It sounds like somebody is remotely locking and unlocking a car door and louder! What can I do about it?
