Verifying the Quality of Your Roof Installation

Introduction

Fasto Roofing in Mason, OH, is committed to ensuring high-quality roof installations. Checking the quality of your roof installation is crucial to avoid problems that could lead to costly repairs. Here are several ways to inspect and verify the quality of your new roof.

Visual Inspection

• Shingles: Ensure shingles look even and uniform across the entire roof. Uneven spots may indicate improper installation.

• Nailing: Check that there is an overhang of about an inch to an inch and a half. With drip edge flashing, the overhang should be about half an inch to three-quarters of an inch. Nails should be well anchored, evenly placed, and set at the proper depth.

Flashing Inspection

• Flashing Locations: Inspect the areas around vents, chimneys, and skylights for galvanized metal flashing.

• Condition: Ensure the flashing is not rusted, peeling, or buckled. Damaged flashing needs replacement to prevent water infiltration.

Job Site Clean Up

• Worksite Management: Contractors should maintain a clean work site. Excess materials should be properly disposed of to prevent creating an unsafe environment for your family and pets.
