Signs Your Roof Was Poorly Installed

A roof is properly installed when all components, accessories and materials are correctly placed using the right techniques. However, if you hired an unqualified person to do the job, this could result in poor roof installation. To help ensure your investment lasts long, work with a roof replacement company that has a reputation for excellent workmanship. 

There are several indications of faulty roof installation. Jack The Roofer shares with you some of the most common signs here so you can identify problems and take the necessary steps right away.

Uneven Appearance

If the roof is properly installed, its appearance should be uniform and even. It means the contractor laid down every part of the roof with care and expertise. If you notice that there are misaligned shingles or bumpy parts, your roof was poorly installed. Contact a professional roofer immediately because neglecting this problem can lead to more significant damage.

Incorrect Gutter Installation

Your gutters catch water runoff from your roof so it won’t go straight to the ground near your home. They protect other parts of your home from water damage. A gutter that was installed incorrectly signifies poor roof installation. Once you see this issue, have it fixed right away by experienced roofers. Otherwise, your home’s structural integrity can be compromised. 

Missing Shingles

Shingles are the most important parts of a roofing system. They protect your roof’s structural elements against rain, wind and heat. Any missing shingles are a sign of a bad roofing job. The shingles may not have been nailed properly, or the sheathing was improperly installed.

Nailing Mistake

When nailing a roof, there are proper techniques and materials that professionals should use. Incorrect use of nails is a clear indication that the roofer does not have the expertise to determine which type or size of nails should be used. Even a single nailing error can lead to serious problems like blown-off or damaged shingles.
