A little knowledge can help homeowners see through roofing myths. Separating fact from fiction prevents future problems and costly decisions. As the area’s premier roofer, Nuss Construction Company debunks some common myths and misconceptions about roofing.
Roof Maintenance Is a Waste of Time and Money
You have invested your time, money and hard work into your home – including your roof. It pays to have a regular roof maintenance program or at least an inspection. Doing so will protect your home and investment. It’s better to stick to a maintenance schedule than have burgeoning roof issues get worse down the road.
No Missing Shingles Means My Roof Is Fine
Just because you don’t see any damage on your roof doesn’t mean it’s not there. From the ground, it’s difficult to see any damage, especially towards the very top of your roof. Don’t wait for a leak in your home to get your roof inspected by a professional. Home improvement experts can spot any signs of roofing damage early in the process.
Flashing Needs Installation Only With a New Roof
This myth is one of the more accepted ones. Flashing is the metal material designed to divert water from any openings on your roof. As a general rule of thumb, your roof’s flashing should undergo inspection for damage about every six months.
All Shingles Are the Same So Buy the Cheapest Kind
Not all shingles are created equal. You have a wide range of choices from wood to asphalt and even metal. Each option has its own pros and cons, so it’s crucial do a thorough comparison to find the best fit for your home.
The price isn’t always an adequate indicator of the quality. Some cheap ones can be great and reliable while other expensive ones may not be the best either. To find the best shingle for your home, consult Nuss Construction Company. We can help you find the perfect type of shingle and even carry out your bathroom remodeling project.
