Warranty agreements are not all the same; however, there are certain things which are commonly frowned upon in most situations involving roof replacement and repair. Top roofing company Barnett Roofing shares these four things you should avoid to help preserve the validity of your coverage.
Poor Installation
Sourcing the best quality roofing materials can end up being a useless endeavor if they are installed poorly. You cannot expect to maximize the service life of your roof if it is not set up correctly to begin with. Once you’ve chosen which roof you want to have on your home, inquire with the manufacturer about finding certified installers in your area.
Unsanctioned Maintenance
Conducting roof repair and maintenance work requires a level of expertise which top roofers, like Barnett Roofing, can prove they have, based on their work history and credentials. Avoid hiring just anyone to maintain your roof for you as they may be unfamiliar with how your specific roof needs to be cared for and the appropriate manner with which to conduct repairs without causing issues to worsen.
DIY Upgrades
There is so much DIY information on the internet it can sometimes be tempting to install add-ons or embellish your roofing system with supposed upgrades that are outside of your roof’s intended set-up. Consult with your contractor before making any changes so you don’t end up losing your warranty on an otherwise properly built roof.
Uncertified Installer
The importance of working with a certified roofer cannot be overstated. Certifications are meant to help customers weed out factory-trained contractors from those who aren’t. Manufacturers are strict about certifications because they need to be sure that their products are being installed in a way that will allow them to reach their full potential.
