3 Causes of Premature Roof Failure

By Stacy Mellete

Installing a new roof can improve your home’s appearance, weather resistance and energy efficiency. However, many homeowners have gone through a roof replacement only to discover that their new roof has failed in some way.


There are a few reasons this can happen. Affordable Roofing Systems, the area’s trusted roofing Company St. Petersburg Florida, explains more:

3 Causes of Premature Roof Failure

Inadequate Attic Ventilation

The status of your attic can affect your new roof’s condition. For example, a properly balanced ventilation system will keep your new roof healthy because it will help regulate your attic’s temperature. Poor attic ventilation can allow heat and moisture to build up in your attic during summer. Given enough time, this excess heat can damage your roof and decrease its life span.

Mistakes During Installation

Mistakes during the roof installation can lead to early roof failure even if you bought high-quality roofing shingles. This is why it’s important to choose the right roofing company for your project. As a roof repairs Tampa FL and installation expert, we recommend hiring a company that’s licensed, insured, and manufacturer-certified. Manufacturer certifications and licenses show that a roofer knows the proper way to install your roof. Insurance will protect you in case they make mistakes during installation.

Poor-Quality Materials

A roof replacement will affect your home’s appearance and performance for many years. You shouldn’t skimp on the materials. Ask your contractor about the best quality roofing options you can get for your budget. If the contractor is manufacturer-certified they will be able to provide plenty of information regarding the products they offer. Affordable Roofing Systems is a GAF Master Elite® contractor, and we can answer all of your questions regarding our GAF shingles.
