It’s not always plain sailing in home improvement, especially when it involves a large project like roof installation. There’s always the risk that you’ve hired an unreliable contractor for the job, resulting in workmanship that’s far from satisfactory. The premier roof maintenance company in the area, STARR Roofing & Gutters, shares how you can tell if a roof is poorly installed.
- The roof appears uneven.
Correct shingle placement is crucial in roof installation. If the newly installed shingles appear uniform and seamless, then the contractor has done a good job. But if the shingles look uneven in places, the contractor has likely installed the material over wet underlayment, allowing for the bumpy and rippling effect on the roof surface.
A trusted roof and gutter installation expert like STARR Roofing & Gutters will never make such an amateur mistake. We know better than to install roofing materials over wet underlayment. Plus, we make sure every row of shingles is cut, applied, and layered accordingly. The result is a lovely, seamless, and watertight roof system that’s installed to stringent manufacturer certifications.
- The shingles are slightly different colors.
There are contractors who aren’t above cutting corners on a roofing job, installing lower-quality (but closely-resembling) shingles along with the ones you ordered. This results in what’s called a ‘rainbow roof’, where the color of the shingles doesn’t appear to be consistent because the materials used are actually different. The inconsistency becomes glaring later on as the lower quality shingles start wearing down faster, making an unsightly patchwork of your roof.
This won’t be an issue when you work with STARR Roofing & Gutters. We use only top-tier roof materials as a GAF® Certified Roofing Contractor – and you can always count on us to use matching shingles for your new roof. We have always been committed to complete client satisfaction, which we continue to achieve by never cutting corners and making costly mistakes. Roof installation done right the first time – that’s what we do.
