How Trim Enhances Your Home’s Exterior

It’s normal to expect your new roof to last a long time; after all, you paid a good price for it. So, after spending some serious cash on the project, having to replace the roof again only after a few years later may come as an unpleasant surprise. This unfortunate situation, however, can happen when you aren’t careful enough with all the details.

As a matter of fact, there are many factors that affect the longevity of your roof. Safe Harbor Exteriors, one of the most trusted roofers, lists the top reasons your roofing system can fail early.

Installation

While the quality of your roofing material matters, installation is an important consideration to determine the system’s performance. That’s one of the reasons working with a professional matters. The job will be easy for a licensed contractor as they are familiar with the right procedure, equipment and building codes.

Ventilation

Proper ventilation in your attic keeps your roofing system in healthy condition. It involves intaking air into and exhausting out of the area to prevent moisture formulation. Make sure your contractor checks this area to solve any issue right away.

Material Issues

Your attempt to minimize your roof replacement cost can only result in more expenses in the long run. Skimping on materials can affect the system’s quality. Paying a bit more upfront may be worth it.

Flashing

Cutting corners on flashing is one of the most common mistakes of an amateur roofer. Some of them think of the chimney flashing as a decorative component, so they use caulk to seal the pierced edges. The material used to secure the opening can break down over time, which can lead to water intrusion.

At Safe Harbor Exteriors, we provide excellent residential roof repair and replacement services to meet your needs. We work hard to help homeowners make the most out of their investment by ensuring professional installation offerings. You can also choose from the variety of options depending on your preferences.

Reviews

We talked to multiple companies while deciding who to use for the exterior of our home. Safe Harbor was transparent, fast, and offered James Hardie siding compared to all the other companies only offering vinyl. Safe Harbor was much more affordable than many of the other companies, who just wanted as much money as possible. We are extremely happy with our siding, soffit, fascia, flashing, gutters, windows and the guarantee that comes with their work. If there was any more work to be performed, without a doubt, we would chose safe Harbor again.

Safe Harbor installed James Hardie siding, soffits, and gutters. The install was meticulous and our home was left cleaner than when the company showed up. The level of detail in the install was beyond expectation! We are so pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the install team!
