Why Is Proper Roof Installation Necessary

proper roof replacement

A careless roof installation job can have costly and far-reaching repercussions. Leaky roofs have consequences beyond the cost of roof repairs or premature replacement. Water damage is one of the most pervasive of all damage types, often necessitating the removal and replacement of drywall and flooring, expensive mold remediation services and the replacement of destroyed personal property.

 

At Billy Harris Roofing, we’ve been installing, maintaining and replacing roofs for over half a century and have earned a reputation in Northern Texas for providing dependable and personalized roofing services.

 

Your Roof Is Your Home’s Most Important Asset

 

The differences between a properly installed roof and an improper one can be dramatic in terms of livability, asset protection and long-term maintenance and repair costs. Roofs aren’t often top of mind for the average homeowner, and they shouldn’t have to be a constant point of concern.

 

If you’ve had leaks in the past and feel the need to investigate every room’s ceiling when it rains to see if new water damage is developing, there’s obviously a problem.

 

What a Roof Should Do

 

Protect Against Interior Damage

Your roof is your home’s primary defense against harsh weather conditions, which Northern Texas is prone to get hit with hard and often. Rain, snow, hail, wind and unrelenting UV rays can gradually degrade even the most durable roofs, but the rate of decline can be accelerated for roofs that weren’t installed correctly.

 

Improperly installed roofs often suffer water leaks that can damage your home’s key structural components as well as your interior living spaces. Hiring experienced roofing professionals can ensure that not just your home’s interior, but other critical components like your insulation and electrical wiring, have adequate protection from the sometimes brutal DFW weather.

 

Preserve Energy Efficiency

A properly secured roof will ensure that you aren’t spending more than you need to on your HVAC usage, getting maximum benefit for minimum cost. It’s not uncommon for low-quality roof installation to create drafts, leading to homeowners increasing their heating and cooling costs and growing frustrated at their inability to better seal their home. Homeowners can minimize energy inefficiency and surging utility bills by contacting qualified roofing professionals for an inspection.

 

At Billy Harris Roofing, we couple our impressive expertise with a customer-dedicated mindset – with our five-year labor warranty, if you notice an issue even years after installation, we’ll address it promptly and at no additional cost.

 

Safeguard Indoor Air Quality

A properly installed roof involves having well-positioned and secured vents that can effectively circulate the air in your attic. This helps lower the possibility of mold and mildew growth and ensures your indoor air quality stays optimal. An improperly installed roof can contribute to air circulation issues inside your home, increasing the risk of mold and mildew growth and putting you and your home’s occupants’ health at risk.

 

Enhance Curb Appeal

Having a rundown or low-quality roof can significantly hinder your ability to secure a good deal for your home. As one of the most visible parts of your home, an old, damaged or ugly roof can discourage home shoppers who may otherwise be interested in purchasing your house. A properly installed roof in good repair not only highlights your home’s structural soundness to potential buyers, but it also enhances curb appeal.

 

Reduces the Frequency of Replacement

A botched roof installation will cut your roof’s lifespan short. What’s the point of investing in roof replacement if the roof only lasts 15 years instead of 30? Two low-quality roof replacements will cost more than a single reliable and properly installed roof. Plus, with a properly installed roof using high-quality shingles, you won’t have to deal with interior water damage or frequent claims that can drive up your home insurance rates. 

 

At Billy Harris Roofing, we have the knowledge and resources to maximize your roofs’ lifespans and optimize the value of every roofing customer’s investments.
