Roofing Facts
Problems caused by lousy artistry include shingles that were not overhanging the edge of the eave enough to allow water to exit the roof to the gutter; this mistake is the most damaging and the easiest to prevent if the shingles do not overhang 1/2 “the exiting water will go straight to the wood in your eave causing rotten trim and soffit damage, especially with homes with short overhangs, the damage to your structural components of the house will cause havoc that has to be repaired.
Installers sometimes nail shingles too deeply or right through them. This is caused by the nail gun’s depth setting being incorrect. It is mainly seen in homes with missing or loose shingles.
Flashing is as important as, or even more important than, the shingle itself because it is difficult to reach and correct after installation. Even when old shingles are removed, some flashing is difficult to install due to the small spaces in which it works. This is why some Fort Worth roofers leave the flashing as is and install shingles to complete the job. The problem will often not surface before their labor warranty runs out.
