Roof replacement is a complex process that requires you to make lots of important decisions and that can come with many pitfalls that you should know about. here are some of the most common mistakes made by building owners when replacing their roofs:
- trying to reduce the costs by using old materials – saving some of the old roofing components and using those components on the new roof might be something that you see often, but it is not a good idea. There is usually a very good reason why those old roofing components need to go, which also means that there is no place for them on your new roof.
- installing a second roofing layer – in the past, you could frequently see roofs composed of two layers, the topmost, new layer being installed on top of the old one, without having removed the old components. Today, the practice is forbidden in many states due to the increased risk of roof collapse as well as of severe and premature roof damage.
- Not installing efficient ventilation – roof vents might seem simple roof components that do not need too much of your attention, but in fact, they are very important roof parts that ensure that the temperature and humidity underneath the roof are never too high. Failing to install roof vents of the right quality will lead to the appearance of condensation under the roof find it will promote thermal exchange between the building interior and the world outside the roof, energy exchange that is more than unwanted.
