Improper Nail Usage

When installing a roof, using the appropriate type and size of nails is paramount. Improper nail usage can lead to serious long-term issues; too short or poorly secured nails could fail to hold shingles in place properly during high winds or storms, leading to their detachment from their base layers of the roof and potentially leading to leakage or other forms of water damage. Once damaged or lost shingles become loose or fall off altogether, leaks or water damage become much more likely.

Incorrect Flashing

Flashing provides a critical protective barrier, keeping rainwater away from vulnerable roof areas such as joints and transitions. When installed improperly or damaged, water may leak through and find its way into your home, causing mold growth, wood rot, structural damage, and reduced insulation effectiveness leading to energy efficiency issues. If flashing installation or repair is inadequate or compromised by leakage from outside sources, water may find its way inside, leading to mold growth, wood rot, structural issues, and energy inefficiency issues in your attic insulation system.

Improper Shingle Placement

Proper placement of roof shingles is crucial for its integrity. If they are misaligned or overlap poorly, gaps will form between them that allow water penetration through, leading to leakage or water damage. Furthermore, poorly placed shingles may result in an uneven roof surface which causes water to pool on top and accelerate deterioration over time.

Improper Gutter Installation

Gutters play an essential role in keeping water away from your roof and foundation, which means incorrect installation can cause significant water accumulation on the roof, damaging its shingles, fascia, and soffit. Clogged or misaligning gutters may also overflow, leading to erosion around its foundation and compromising its stability, potentially leading to costly repairs.
