You need to work with a qualified roofing company like us if you want a proper roof installation. Noble Roofing is one of the most experienced local roofing companies in the Northern VA area. We can install, maintain, and repair roof systems from GAF, CertainTeed, and Tamko.
Here are some common rookie mistakes that we will avoid when we work on your roof:
-
Not Installing the Leak Barrier or Drip Edge – When an inexperienced contractor forgets to install these accessories, they make your home more vulnerable to water damage. The drip edge prevents wind-driven rain from entering under the edge of your roof, protecting your fascia from rot. Meanwhile, the leak barrier protects the areas of your roof from nail and fastener perforation. It also improves your roof’s water protection.
-
Mistakes When Using Nails – An inexperienced roofer can tear a shingle’s mat by driving the nail at a wrong angle. This allows moisture to enter your shingle and eventually cause a costly roof leak. You won’t have to worry about this problem when you work with us, though. As a residential and commercial roof expert, we will use the right amount of nails with just the right length.
-
Incorrect Flashing Installation – Poor flashing installation will make your roof more susceptible to water damage. The flashing protects your roof’s most vulnerable areas by preventing water from entering. It protects your roof valleys and the areas surrounding your skylights and vents. To prevent water infiltration, our trained installation crew will always use the right flashing length for the job.
-
Mismatched Shingles and Improper Shingle Installation – Rookie roofers will sometimes purchase different batches of the same color shingles from different suppliers because they want to reduce costs. This will lead to mismatched shades of color on your roof. They also sometimes install new shingles over old shingles to cut costs. This can put too much stress on your home’s framing. Noble Roofing uses only matching shingles on all of our projects and we always install shingles correctly.
