Why roof’s fail?
We can’t even count the number of times we have heard someone say “Installing a roof is easy.” failing roofs are typcially caused by a roofer taking shortcuts installing the roof
Perhaps that’s why such a large percentage of roofing buyers say they are VERY unhappy with their roofer within 10 years of their roof’s installation.
More than 70% of the roofs we are called out to repair were installed by someone else less than 10 years ago. That’s a crime in our book. These are 30-year, sometimes 50-year roofs failing in less than 10 years. In one eight month period alone, we replaced four roofs that were installed by other companies less than 8 years earlier. Three were less than 3 years old.
What’s worse is that each of those was covered by a “Workmanship” guarantee. But the roofer claimed that the leaking wasn’t a “workmanship” problem, so they did not cover it.
Its all about proper installation. And, sadly, most roofs we see were not installed the way the manufacturer designed them to be installed.
