Installing Roofing Shingles

Installing Roofing Shingles Requires Experience and Training

Installation of roofing shingles should be left to the professionals. Lack of knowledge and experience could result in property damage, having to reroof or worse—a personal injury.

Common mistakes to look for when installing roof shingles:

  • Lack of waterproofing, which will cause leaks that can damage structure
  • Improper alignment of shingles resulting in inadequate leak protection and an uneven look
  • Improper/inadequate nailing of shingles causing leaks around the nails or the shingles to break or fall off easily
  • Reusing damaged flashing and soil stacks around the chimney
  • Failure to hang shingles over the eaves resulting in damage to deck and fascia
  • Non-compliance with approved procedures and safety codes compromising safety of workers and occupants

A good quality and properly installed roof should last for a minimum of 20 years. If you're looking for optimized performance and durability ensure that the contractor you hire is reliable and experienced.

Extend Lifespan by Installing Quality Roofing Shingles

Your roof has several important functions:

  • Protection from weather, pests and intruders
  • Preservation of structural integrity and value of your home
  • Preventing temperature fluctuations
  • Ensuring proper air flow

Improper installation can causes leaks, higher heating and cooling bills and poor indoor air quality. It is not only the quality of roofing materials but also the workmanship that impacts the performance and durability.
