Why does the roof make one loud bang after the sun goes down?

Our answer

Roof materials contract after sunset; have a roofer inspect fasteners if the bang is unusually loud, repeated or accompanied by leaks.

Why this approach makes sense

Materials, cleaning instructions and equipment design vary. Pick a reversible approach that fits the exact surface or appliance.

Before you try it

Check the model instructions and test on a small area before committing to a permanent change.
