Q: What is the difference between 15lb. and 30lb. felt, and which will my roof need?
A: Most standard pitched roofs only need a 15lb. felt for proper underlayment. 30lb. is used for many specialty applications such as: low pitch roofs, steep roofs (pitches over 7 on twelve), flat areas to be roofed with roll roofing, and new construction.

Q: How long do most jobs take?
A: Most homes can be completed in one day. Larger jobs may require a day and a half, and we always allow 2 days for steep roof.

Roofs should never be stapled unless over an open soffit area.
