How to Spot a Poorly Installed Roofing System

If you’re unfortunate enough to have worked with an inexperienced roof installer, you’re likely to discover errors in their workmanship later on. But how exactly will you be able to tell? Here are some of the signs that you can watch out for:

Improper Shingle Placement

When asphalt roof shingles are correctly installed, their rows appear flat and even. But if they look raised and bumpy, the contractor may not have taken the time to do things the right way. This will never be an issue when you work with WaynCo Roofing, LLC. Our certified roof technicians will lay every part of your roof with care and caution, adhering to stringent manufacturer specifications. This allows for a shingle roofing system that will remain sturdy and watertight no matter the season.

Incorrect Shingle Nailing

Some contractors aren’t above taking shortcuts in roof installation. In some cases, they don’t use the right number of nails, or they may even fail to nail the shingles properly. Because of this, the roofing material becomes more susceptible to water intrusion or blow-offs. At WaynCo Roofing, LLC, we make sure that the correct number of nails are used. We don’t take shortcuts — you can count on us to attach the shingles firmly to your roof using manufacturer-specified methods and techniques. The result? An asphalt shingle roofing system that is impervious to the harshest elements.

The success of your new roof installation will depend on your choice of roofing contractor. That’s why you should work with one that has the necessary training and experience. In the Charlotte Metro area, the choice is simple:  WaynCo Roofing, LLC. We’re not just fully licensed, bonded and insured — we also have more than 30 years of experience, ensuring that your project will be completed to the highest standards.
