YOUR ROOF - Mistakes You May Be Making

Having a solid roof over your head means you need to take care of it, however sometimes we can do things with the best of intentions not realizing they are harmful.
With that in mind, lets talk about some of the roofing myths out there and learn the correct way to take care of yours.

1. Cleaning Your Roof With a Pressure Washer

Cleaning your roof can help enhance its appearance and prevent mold from growing. Many people will use a pressure washer to do the job but this can actually damage the surface of your roof. Next time you clean your roof, opt for a hose instead.

2. Over-Insulating Your Home

Insulation is good, too much can be bad however. If your home has an attic, too much insulation won’t allow the room to ventilate properly which can cause mold to grow and other issues.

3. Not Regularly Checking Your Roof

Just because you don’t see any leaks doesn’t mean there aren’t issues with your roof. Take the time to inspect your roof so you can handle small repairs when needed.

4. Not Checking Your Attic

If you only inspect the outside of your home, you may be missing out on some obvious signs that your roof needs to be replaced. Always check your attic to look for signs of mold growth or excessive humidity.

5. Roofing Over Shingles

No matter what you do, do not simply put new shingles over old ones. You’re only making things worse. Old shingles need to be removed and replaced by new ones for a proper seal.
