What You Need to Know About Your Roof
If you’re like most people, you probably don’t think about your roof much until you have a leak or your start seeing a lot of your neighbors getting their roofs replaced. It’s not a very enjoyable thing to spend money on. Your roof does, however, still need to be maintained and cared for just like the other areas of your home. Especially since it takes a beating from all types of temperature ranges, UV rays, ice, wind, hail, etc. 24/7, 365 days each year. This is why it’s so important to have maintenance and regular inspections to avoid bigger issues like leaks, attic mold and interior damage.
The Roofing System
It’s easy to look at your roof and think, “it’s shingles,” but your roof is much more than that. Typically there are a minimum of 10 components (or different products) that go into completing a full roof system. These are all installed together to form a complete roofing system (see diagram below). The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. All of these components are required by shingle manufacturers and are installed by all reputable roofing companies. To simply replace parts of this system at a time can often be detrimental to your roof and will likely not restore it to its original condition.
