HardRock Fact of the Day:
Improper shingle installation causes serious issues like exposed nails, leaks, and voided warranties.
Common Signs of Bad Installation
Nail placement errors: Driving nails too low or outside the reinforced strip causes leaks and reduces wind resistance. Contradictory, not driving the nails in far enough will cause nailpops.
Incorrect pitch matching: Installing standard shingles on low-slope or flat areas violates building codes and manufacturer guidelines.
Flashing mistakes: Badly installed drip edges or valleys let water run behind materials and rot the wood underneath.
Risks and Consequences
Roof leaks: Water finds gaps through exposed fasteners or poor underlayment layers.
Wind blow-offs: Improperly fastened shingles fail during heavy storms.
Voided protection: Manufacturers and insurance companies can deny claims due to bad workmanship.
Choose a professional company that has the knowledge and workmanship you can trust so you don’t have to worry about issues like these.
