Roofing mistakes can cause a lot trouble and expenses later on. Fortunately, these can be avoided by hiring reliable roofers like Perfect Exteriors of Minnesota to handle your roofing project. We are one of the top roofers in the area certified as a GAF Master Elite™. Here are roofing mistakes that we avoid.

Roofing Mistakes

No Drip Edge

As professional roofers, we know that the lack of or incorrect installation of the drip edge leads to serious problems later on. This includes premature damage to your deck and fascia boards as well as an opening for water to enter your home. To avoid damage, we make sure to cover the perimeter with a metal drip edge.

Starter Problems

The absence of the starter causes a number of aesthetic problems in your roof’s eaves and rakes. This means that each shingle that is close to the eave presents an opening for water to enter your home. When you work with Perfect Exteriors of Minnesota, you won’t have to worry about this problem. Our trained team makes sure to use the correct starter for each shingle on your residential roofing to ensure proper installation.

No Leak Barrier

The leak barrier provides extra protection for your roof’s vulnerable areas. Its expert installation is essential to ensure that it works effectively. Additionally, it protects areas of your roof with perforations due to fasteners or nails. Your roof’s valleys, vertical walls, eaves, and chimneys are ideal areas where we can install leak barriers.

Nailing Problems

When a roofer does not know the proper amount of fasteners that each shingle requires, it can lead to costly problems later on. Simple mistakes like exposed, underdriven, overdriven, and high nails can be avoided by hiring a professional roofer like us.

We have a vast experience with different kinds of roofing systems, from asphalt shingle to metal roofing. We guarantee that we use only the best products for your roof and back it with industry-leading warranties for your protection.
