The Roof Inspection Checklist Every Homeowner Needs 4
Protect Your Home & Avoid Costly Mistakes
A solid and reliable roof is more than just shingles—it’s your home’s first line of defence against weather, leaks, and costly damage. But how do you know if your roof is built to last?
At Clean Comfort Home Improvements, we’ve seen too many poor roofing jobs, leading to expensive repairs and home damage. That’s why we’re breaking down:
The most common roofing shortcuts contractors take
Roofing Shortcuts That Could Cost You Thousands
Some contractors cut corners to save money—but this leads to serious problems in just a few years. Here’s what to watch out for:
-
Flimsy Flashing – Think of flashing as your roof’s raincoat. If poorly installed, it lets water seep in, causing leaks and structural damage.
-
Cheap Underlayment – This hidden protective layer beneath your shingles prevents rot and mold. Inferior materials = early failure.
-
Low-Quality Materials – Some companies use bargain shingles and weak fasteners. A cheap roof today = costly repairs later.
-
Misaligned Shingles – Uneven rows not only look bad—they’re vulnerable to wind damage.
-
Poor Ventilation – Without proper airflow, moisture builds up, leading to mold, ice dams, and higher energy bills.
-
Messy Worksites – A contractor who doesn’t clean up likely doesn’t care about details.
