The 3 Most Common Roofing Problems

Several factors undermine the structural integrity of your roof. Some of them are obvious factors such as neglect, while some might be a bit more subtle like accumulated roof debris. Keeping those things in mind, here are the top offenders that contribute to the most common roofing problems.

Materials

Your roof stands a better chance against deterioration and the ravages of external elements if the right materials are used. Each type of material has its benefits and setbacks, so it’s best to thoroughly examine all the pros and cons before choosing your roofing material.

Improper Installation

While some signs of shoddy workmanship can be spotted from a mile away, some forms aren’t as obvious. Unfortunately, by the time these hidden atrocities are discovered, it’s almost always too late to do anything. Usually, the ultimate solution is a complete roof replacement. Roofs that are improperly installed perform at a much lower caliber than those installed well. Only hire a roofing contractor that does not cut corners, like ImproveIT! of Atlanta. This way, you can avoid subpar workmanship and are spared from the costly troubles of premature roof failure.

Storm Damage

Storm damage is a problem experienced by the majority of homeowners, especially by residential areas often exposed to severe weather. Storm damage manifests in a lot of forms, like leakage and missing shingles. Keep in mind that your roof can still be susceptible to breakage even if it was installed properly, so take extra steps and precautions to storm-proof your roof even before the storm hits. Preparing your roof so it can withstand harsh conditions is much more cost-effective than paying for repairs.
