Example of a Gambrel Roof Here at Above and Beyond Roofing all we think about is roofs, but for many people that is one of the last things they think about when buying or building a house.  There are so many different roof styles for you to consider when designing and building a new house.  Although many people move into homes that are already built and have to just accept the roof shape, it is still something to consider when looking at buying a house.

Above and Beyond Roofing, your  Lake Ozark Roofing Business , has over 15 years experience and over the years we have had a lot of questions - typically, these questions and concerns are very similar. Last week we started this two-part blog series to help answer some of these questions.  Be sure to check our part one of our  Frequently Asked Questions about Your Roof .

Unless it's an overlay (recover), there should be felt separating the roofing materials and the deck. Typically, this is done to save money - however, it is highly frowned upon by the National Roofing Contractor's Association.
