#1 Mismatched\/ Incorrectly Installed Shingles<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you try to save on cost by purchasing shingles from different contractors, your new roof will look hideous because of the mismatched colors. Avoid this by buying the entire set of shingles from one dealer. In addition, don\u2019t compromise the integrity of your roofing in Wichita<\/a> by installing new shingles over the old ones.<\/p>\n

#2 Incorrectly Installed Flashing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Installing metal flashing in the valleys and around the chimney helps prevent leaks and shingle erosion. Make sure the length is sufficient; otherwise, it defeats the purpose of installing flashing.<\/p>\n

#3 <\/strong>Poor Attic Ventilation<\/strong>
\nStudies say that compared with a ventilated attic, an unventilated one tends to be 20-45% hotter. Moreover, the excess heat and trapped moisture provides room for microbes to grow. Making sure your attic is ventilated adequately will not only spare you from mold damage; you also avoid high heating and cooling bills. In addition, a well-ventilated attic also prolongs the lifespan of your shingles, as it prevents heat blisters.<\/p>\n
