Not all asphalt roofs are made the same, and if you’re not careful, you may end up with a failing one soon after installation. If you want a roof that lasts, here are some things that our residential roofing services providers at Renovation Team suggest that you avoid.
Poor-Quality Shingles
The type of materials you choose for every home improvement project you embark on will determine how long your results will last. Poorly made asphalt shingles may possibly look nice right after application; however, disintegration may be noticeable within only one or two years. Such shingles hold up weakly against extreme heat or cold. They break or get damaged more easily. They lose color much more quickly, too.
Shoddy Installation Work
Spending for materials of even the best quality in the entire world will mean nothing if they are not properly installed. Lack of expertise on the part of your roofer can also cause your roof to fail sooner than you expect. At the Renovation Team, we take pride in being a certified home improvement contractor that is able to provide manufacturer warranties as well as guarantees on our workmanship for every project we do.
Inadequate Maintenance
Your roof needs to be in top condition at all times and ready to protect your home under any weather condition. Request roofing inspections after severe weather occurrences as well as storm or hail damage assessments when necessary. On a regular basis, keep your entire roofing system free of debris and water. Remember that your gutters need to be cleaned out regularly, too.
