When having your roof replaced, prioritize the longevity and performance of your investment by following these two essential tips: 1. Upgrade flashings. You should get all-new flashings whenever you have your roof replaced, and they should be cleaned, primed, and painted to prevent flaking over time. Replacing your flashings will also help you avoid future leaks by providing a watertight seal around any roof penetrations. 2. Focus on ventilation. Proper airflow in the attic helps regulate temperature and moisture levels, which reduces the risk of premature shingle cracking due to excessive heat buildup (a problem known as “thermal splitting”). By installing the right amount of ventilation, you’ll reduce the likelihood of shingle damage and ensure your new roof performs optimally for years to come.

oftentimes when people get their roof
repaired it's not done properly
what happens is a lot of people don't
take the time to properly do the repair
which ends up failing and then customers
have to redo the repair and spend more
money the main thing I see with these
improper repairs is most people like to
just rely on roof cement and smear it
across the roof when using roof cement
the proper way to do it is to embed a
piece of webbing into it to make it a
permanent repair the webbing binds and
holds the roof cement together to
prevent it from cracking and gives it a
much stronger Bond repairs with roof
cement no webbing no lasting repair
