3 Residential Roofing Mistakes That Property Owners Make

When it comes to residential roofing systems, there are plenty of materials to choose from. When it comes to installation, maintenance, or repairs, it can also lead to common mistakes that are costlier and cause early wear-and-tear. Here are three of them that property owners make.

  1. Choosing The Cheapest Roofing System

Cost is always a factor regardless of what you buy. On one hand, you want something within your budget, but on the other you something sturdy and long-lasting. While choosing the cheapest option will certainly save you money, it will likely age out quicker.

A mid-to-high-range roofing system can also come with extended warranties that outweigh the short-term benefits of its price factor. By calling North Shore Roofing, we can inspect your roof and recommend quality roofs that offer the best benefits for a home.

  1. Failure To Understand Roofing Warranties

A new roof usually comes with either an installation or a manufacturer’s warranty. The installation warranty covers any damage incurred while technicians put a roof in place.  Poor installation can lead to costly damage as it invalidates a manufacturer’s warranty.

A manufacturer’s warranty covers material defects that lead to premature failures. It tends to last the expected lifetime of the product, usually between fifteen and fifty years. Not maintaining your roof or doing DIY repairs can also cause a warranty cancellation.

A roofing company’s installation warranty may also last only a few years while the manufacturer’s warranty has extended value. By understanding the benefits of each as well as their essentials, you’ll be able to make smart decisions regarding roof warranties.

  1. Choosing An Unqualified Roofing Contractor

You’ll find that there are lots of roofing contractors in the Greater Boston and North Shore areas. Choosing the right roofing contractor can be stressful, yet it’s also one of the most important decisions you will make. The wrong roof contractor will likely offer you the most expensive roof in the market and often fail to install it for you properly.

Choosing a contractor that does not have the right type of experience can also be problematic. Sure, you want a quality roof, but you also equally want the contractor to understand the pros and cons. During an installation process, you also need someone who can do it right without causing damage to occur. Improper practices also void a warranty.

Here are a few smart ways to gain more insights before hiring a quality roofing company.
