Frequently asked questions about the Roof Fixo blog
What kind of guides are on the Roof Fixo blog?
The blog currently has four practical guides: tracing a roof leak to flashing, vents or shingles, deciding between repair and replacement in Maryland, sizing gutters for Maryland homes, and checking a roof after a storm in Anne Arundel County. Each guide links to the service pages where the full information lives.
Are blog guides a substitute for an inspection?
No, guides help you describe what you are seeing and understand the options, but an inspection that checks your roof slope by slope is what decides the scope for your home. Call 410-755-8629 to discuss an inspection for your address.
How often are new guides added?
Guides are added when a new topic is researched and written for Severna Park and Central Maryland homes, rather than on a fixed schedule, so the blog index always lists the guides that are actually published.
Can I use a blog guide for a different town?
Yes, the guides cover Maryland roofing and exterior problems generally, but town pages cover the local problems for your town, so read both for the most accurate picture for your home.
How do I ask a question about a guide?
Call 410-755-8629 and mention the guide title and the part you have a question about, so the answer can be specific to your home, rather than general.
