−
If you're like many homeowners, chances are you don't think about roofing too much. Keep reading to learn more on this topic.
+
Having to address roofing concerns is never enjoyable. Roofs normally suffer from significant damage during the months in winter and spring. Because of this you should make extra time during these seasons to check on your roof.
  
−
Don't wait when you need to have shingles replaced. Waiting can just allow the damage to worsen. Fixing shingles immediately will actually save you bigger bucks down the line. Plus there will be a lot less headache. If you keep your roof maintained, it will last you a while.
+
Faulty shingles are the most common cause of a leaking roof, but structural problems can also be to blame. If you notice dry root on the sides, then water has a chance to enter. You need to look for every possible place that water can enter so that the problem gets taken care of completely.
  
−
When fixing a leak, it's important to do the job right the first time around. This means you're not going to want to only stop on the first place you locate that has problems. Check your entire roof and you may find that your leak is actually a bunch of problem areas at work.
+
When fixing a leak on your roof, be sure all repairs are done at the same time. Do not stop after fixing one small area. If you take the time to check your whole roof, you will not have to deal with additional, often worse, problems down the road.
  
−
When selecting a roofer, ask loved ones for their experiences and recommendations. Ask those you trust if the work they had done was good quality and whether they think the price was reasonable. Also ask how well the contractor cleaned up after the job was done and whether there is a warranty for future repairs.
+
There are a number of questions you should ask your roofer before you sign the contract. One important question to ask is the quantity of nails they will put in each shingle. Generally, three nails are not enough. Ask them about which techniques they use and be sure you're happy with their answer. If they do not, continue looking.
  
−
You should check your roof after wind storms, for instance by climbing on a ladder if you cannot see the entire roof from the ground. If you see any damage, it needs to be repaired immediately. Check it over with binoculars or up close and personal.
+
Be certain your roofing contractor is properly licensed. If you do not know the proper licenses a contractor should have, never trust your contractor's word on the matter. Talk to your local building department and find out what the contractor should have.
  
−
If a roofer is making your feel uncomfortable with a sales pitch, politely decline. Some of them will do whatever it takes to get your signature on a contract. This is never a good sign for the consumer, so stop them long before you get to that point.
+
When choosing a roofing contractor, consider how long they have been in business. If the company has been in business for quite some time then they probably are able to keep people happy. Those who have a short history in the area may be scammers who abscond with your funds.
  
−
If you select a roofer who uses employees, you may get a better deal than if the roofer works alone. A roofing team can accomplish a job quicker and this usually ends up with a much cheaper final product. If you are hiring a single roofer, be sure that you aren't overcharged for labor.
+
Always check the credentials of the roofing contractors you are considering for work on your home. Just about every locale requires roofers to be licensed, so check to make sure their license is current and valid. They need to also have insurance that is full liability, as well as a certificate that's current and covers workers' compensation.
  
−
Look at the materials you have before you put on new shingles. Installation is a big cause of leaks, whether it be from the wrong sized nails or cracked shingles. Be sure that you have strong shingles that don't have any cracks and that you're using nails that can penetrate your shingles so that they are secured onto the structure.
+
Don't try to get too miserly when purchasing new materials for your home's roof. Though some materials are cheaper, they may cost you more in the long run, since they will become worn out more quickly.
  
−
Don't get too discouraged if you're not able to find out where a roof is leaking from. Sooner or later you will find it using a process of elimination. Having a friend help you along with a water hose can aid this process. As you aim the hose at different areas of the roof, have your assistant look for signs of leakage. Use a cell phone to communicate with each other.
+
Look at the materials you have before you put on new shingles. Leaks can actually start at the point of installation due to damaged shingles or nails of the wrong length. Be sure the shingles you use are durable and do not have any cracks. Also, be sure the nails can penetrated your shingles and keep them in place.

Inspect all materials that will be going on your roof. Many times, shingles crack when they're nailed down, and if you don't notice, they can make for pricey repairs later on.
