Though we can see them in plain sight, the inner mechanisms of a roof are not readily visible. So, it can be hard to tell when a roof is failing and in dire need of roof repair. Another mystery can be why a roof is not doing well and needs to be replaced or fixed as soon as possible. As roofing experts, we’ve encountered plenty of homes and know how to work with roofs. Consequentially, we gain knowledge almost every day about what can cause a roof to fail. If you see these occur to your roof, it’s best to get them evaluated.
1.) Faulty installation
Sometimes, it all comes to fruition at the beginning. If you pay someone who isn’t experienced or skilled to install your roof or attempt it yourself as a novice, there are bound to be some mistakes along the way. Improper technique may not cause some problems right away, but it’s bound to cause a roof to falter after some time.
2.) Neglect
Now, we know that people don’t often scale their homes to take a peek at their roofs. Understandably so – we stress that only professionals should attempt roof repair! Still, some things like water damage and damaged shingles are easy to spot. You should not neglect these apparent signs of damage. Call our roofing company when something looks “off.”
3.) Poor ventilation
Your roof must have adequate ventilation. Otherwise, the temperature can warp or damage the integrity of the roof. Over time, the shingles and other parts of your roof can deteriorate if there is not enough ventilation. Take the time to ensure that the ventilation is proper and works well enough for your home and roof.
4.) Harsh weather
Living in New England, we know all about how terrible weather can be on every person or their property. Unfortunately, severe weather isn’t something that you can shoo away. Still, you can take preventative measures to keep your roof prepared for the elements. Ask us about our snow removal or roof leak repairs so your roof can withstand any storm.
