- 8How to install drip edge on an existing roofInstalling a drip edge on an existing shingle roof requires finding reliable instructional videos, as many homes are built without one. Homeowners trying to add this flashing before putting up gutters often have to search for the correct method to retrofit it properly.
- 6Is underlayment required under slate, tile, or thatch roofs?Slate, tile, and thatch materials are not completely waterproof on their own and allow moisture to pass through joints and gaps. Underlayment serves as the actual primary waterproof barrier beneath these outer coverings, while the outer material functions mainly as UV protection.

This friction makes it difficult to enforce quality control without facing pushback over whether parts like rotors or collars actually need fixing.
