The Roof Check List
Say for example you have decided to have your roof fixed, and you have already chosen a roofing contractor and already know the materials that will be used. However, you do not want to give too much attention on your roof that you will not foresee its possible effects on the other parts of your home. Like your gutters?
There are three ways for you to check if the roof you have chosen will match your gutters:
1. Be sure that the gutters will not be damaged by the ladders and other tools.
It will cost you more if the roofing contractors make you spend more money fixing the roof they damaged or destroyed. Any unnecessary push can make your gutter bend or loosen. A good roofing contractor knows how to fix your roof without destroying your gutters.
2. When finishing the roof, the building material meant to extend a 3/4 inch over your gutters. If it stops at the roof edge, rain could trickle down off the roof and squeeze behind your gutters. This may cause leaks into your attics or home’s interior, and may conjointly weaken your home wherever the gutters are attached to your roof. Additionally, water can drip or run down right next to your foundation and you wouldn't want that to happen, wouldn't you? One remedy would be to put in a drip edge that could be a snaky sheet product. The flat edge slips beneath the shingles, whereas the snaky edge fits down over the rear fringe of your gutters.
3. There may be some advantages to putting a metal roof on your home. But one of the risks of doing so is the probability of increasing the rate of the run-off water turning up onto your rain gutters, Because steel is less absorbing than roof shingles — and provides a slimmer surface to assist in discharge — the speed of water run-off from the steel roof may boost enough to add rain water into your gutters and off to the ground. Sometimes, this problem will not become obvious in stormy weather with low to average rain fall, but will be difficult during hefty downpours. Again, rain gutter baffles might do the trick; but you may have to set them up one by one.

Metal roofing is in fact much better of a decision for roofing when you factor in a raining climate. This is due to simply how highly densed metals are and solid compared to asphalt shingles mixed with gravel. They were, but metal is better in terms of protection and overall power. Its most resistant.
