A roof is one of the most robust components of your property. It’s meant to protect the home from torrential rain, excruciating heat, high-speed winds, and more. Nonetheless, a roof installation may fail to function in the manner it was originally intended to.

Unfortunately, not every roof installer is as knowledgeable or as experienced as Modtek Roofers. Inaccurate installation is one of the top reasons for a failed roof. Therefore, we hear this question a lot. Customers ask, “I just fixed my roof, why is it still leaking”? Well, here are some of the top reasons why that may be.

As we briefly mentioned, inaccurate installation practices are one of the most popular reasons for a failed roof. That’s because oftentimes homeowners are seeking a quick and inexpensive solution to a roof repair or roof install. They hire their neighbors, friends, do it themselves, or give the job to the lowest bidder – without doing their due diligence and properly vetting the individual or company. It requires the right knowledge, skill, expertise, and experience to install a roof. That’s why we hire roofers at Modtek Roofing with years of experience. Additionally, we continue to educate our team on new technology, techniques, materials, and more.

Tip: Before hiring a roofer, do a little research yourself. Then ask your roofer some common questions and examine how they answer it? Are they clear? Are they concise? Did they answer your question appropriately? If so, they may be the company for the job.

We always recommend investing in roofing materials that are of the best quality. As we mentioned earlier, your roof is exposed to rainfall, sunlight, wind, etc. It is constantly taking a beating from adverse weather conditions, especially here in Florida. For this reason, the materials used on your roof should be of the utmost quality. Do not skimp on this aspect of the cost.

At Modtek Roofing, we always sit down with our customers and evaluate the pros and cons of materials within their budget. Our goal is to ensure you get the most out of your investment.

Ventilation is the most important component of a roof. After all, it is responsible for keeping moisture and heat out. Without proper ventilation, moisture can build up over time and damage materials in your attic and roof. This is why ventilation is so important to the longevity of your roof. Not only does proper ventilation affect the lifespan, but it also affects future costs on roof repairs, as well as how much you pay for heating and cooling.

One of the best things you can do to promote the longevity of your roof is to keep it well maintained. Maintenance is not necessarily a task that must be done daily. Instead, ensure you clean your gutters at least twice a year for example. Keeping the gutters clean can be a pesky task. This is why many homeowners chose to hire a professional.

Furthermore, inspect your roof regularly, especially after inclement weather, such as a hurricane and hail storm.

If the idea of standing on your roof feels intimidating, no worries. We offer free inspections to all homeowners. Feel free to call us at 772.617.2624, and one of our Modtek customer service associates will get you scheduled.
