A properly installed asphalt shingle roof requires careful attention to detail during the installation process to ensure that it will last for years without issue. In this post, professional roofing contractor Empire Roofing & more discusses the hallmarks of a properly installed asphalt shingle roof.
Properly Installed Flashing
Flashing is an essential component of any roof system. It protects against water penetration into valleys, chimneys or vents on your roof’s surface. Properly installed flashing should have no gaps between pieces and lay flat against the surface with no buckling or warping.
Uniform Appearance
Uniformity is a sign of a professional installation by a roofing services provider. Look for straight lines along the edges and proper spacing between each tile. Anything out of place can lead to leaks, water damage and premature roof aging.
Proper Nailing
Asphalt shingles require secure nailing at regular intervals along their length to provide stability from wind uplift. Nails that are too short or too far apart can lead to blow-offs from high winds and other hazards.
