Understanding Why Some Roofs Fail Prematurely

A new roof can provide many benefits; however, there are many homeowners who have gone through the process of a replacement only to discover that the new roof has failed in some manner too soon. There are a few reasons this can happen. Dior Construction, the leading residential roofing contractor in our area, discusses the most common culprits:

  • Faulty Installation – Good materials won’t do much good if your contractor makes mistakes. Incorrect installation can cause roof failure. This is why it’s important to choose a contractor that’s certified by the manufacturer of the product you choose. Certified contractors like us have undergone rigorous training and education to make sure we won’t make any mistakes during installation.

  • Poor Materials – Quality materials make up the other side of the coin. Even though roof replacements can cost a considerable amount, you can’t afford to use low-quality materials. After all, your roof is responsible for keeping your interior safe and dry. As a residential roofing services expert, we recommend that you do your research and study the various performance features of your new roofing system. Ask a reputable contractor for advice on the best roofing system for your area, as well.

  • Lack of Attic Ventilation – Poor attic ventilation can degrade your roof’s performance and decrease its service life. This is because during summer, improper ventilation contributes to heat and moisture build-up in your attic, and this can damage your roof. A properly balanced ventilation system will protect your roof because it helps regulate the temperature in your attic.
