Roof Installation Problems

The first sign of roof installation is sagging structural issues with the plywood and the home's rafters. Also, look for missing or brittle shingles when inspecting the condition of the roof. All are signs of poor expertise from the contractor. Most local roofing companies would suggest replacing the roof immediately. Redesigning the appearance could cost less than fixing portions of the roof.

Improper Roof Ventilation

Roofs become brittle after extreme weather conditions. Usually, the shingles curl or warp because of improper ventilation. If you notice a few shingles that fall under this category, a roofing contractor can make the necessary repairs before the condition worsens. But if the damage is too severe to save the shingles, then it is time to replace the roof.

Deciding when to repair or replace your roof is a delicate financial decision. However, annual visual roof inspections to confirm the condition of the shingles and structure will help to protect your home. Taking a closer look could save you money from a lengthy renovation project.
