The most important part of your home is your roof
Roof failures occur for a number of different reasons. The main reasons are poor design, installation errors, age of roof, and flashing defects. The most common types of failures are noticed in roof leaks. These are normally discovered when discoloration or staining appears on a ceiling or wall in your home. A roof inspection to determine the cause of the failure is vital in deciding whether a repair or replacement is necessary to resolve problem. In either scenario, providing a permanent solution to the issue is necessary to eliminate the roof leak from reoccurring.
