Take a walk down the 2024 memory lane with us

By Emma Peterson. 

As we look towards 2025, let’s take a quick look back at what was top of mind for home and building owners in 2024! 

Here at AskARoofer, our goal is to find the answers to any roofing-related questions you have! In the last year, we are proud to have built a community and space for everyone, whether you need advice on how to choose a specific product/material or you need general information to level up your roofing knowledge. Before we hit the ground running in 2025, let’s take a moment to look back at the top content of 2024.

Q&A - Keeping out unwanted houseguests sent in by Sylvia from Florida 

In addition to our more traditional articles, we want to make sure that you and your concerns are at the core of the AskARoofer conversation. To do this, we work with roofing experts and industry leaders to find answers to all the questions you submit! In 2024 we had dozens of questions come in and conversations between you and our experts started, but our top-viewed one came from Sylvia, who asked for advice about keeping pests out of their roof’s gooseneck vent. Not one, but two of our experts (Erica Reed from Elite Construction Solutions and Bridgit Wilson of Cardinal Roofing) shared some advice with them. Check out the answer to Sylvia’s question and other common problems on our Questions and Answers page!
