Ensuring Your New Roof Won’t Fail

New roof installations could be a nightmare scenario for any homeowner to experience if the roof was to fail only a couple of years after installation. At ACCL Roofer we know that a new roof is one of the biggest investments you can make in your home and you will want to make it last as long as possible! – Below we have provided 4 tips on how to prevent your roof from failing.

1. Using High Quality Roofing Materials

By using the highest quality of roofing materials, you will help your roof last a long time as well as keep it protected from all elements. When considering what types of materials to use for your roof you should take into account factors such as:

• Weight: Roofs are designed to carry out a certain amount of weight. If you plan on exceeding this amount you will need to strengthen your roofs substructure.
• Lifespan: Depending on the types of materials you use for your roof your roofs lifespan will vary. Typically, laminate shingles last about 25-35 years. Click here to view the different types of shingles.
• Durability: You roof needs to be durable to protect against the elements such as snow, rain, sleet, and high winds.

2. Proper Installation

In order to get the best results and performance from your roofing materials they will need to be professionally installed from a licensed roofing company.

3. Attic Ventilation

Your attic needs to be well ventilated to prevent moisture and heat from damaging insulation and shingles. Throughout the different weather seasons our roofs deal with winds, thaws, ice dams, and overheating! Therefore, installing a good attic ventilation system can help your roof last longer.

4. Waterproofing your skylights and chimney using flashings

Flashings are a material that is installed around potential weak spots such as vents, skylights, and chimneys to prevent and keep water from seeping through.

Following these 4 guidelines can help you ensure your new roof won’t fail a few years after installation.
