You Won't Believe The Havoc a Leaky Roof Can Cause - Royal Palm Beach FL, We Have Your Back 24/7!

Misconception: Roof repair is a DIY job.

Reality: Roofing involves specific skills, tools, and safety measures that most homeowners are not trained in. Mistakes can lead to costly future damages and can pose serious safety risks.


Misconception: All roofing materials are the same.

Reality: Roofing materials vary significantly in quality, durability, and cost. The choice of material will impact the roof's lifespan, its resistance to different weather conditions, and the overall home's energy efficiency.


Misconception: Roof inspections are not necessary unless there's a visible problem.

Reality: Regular roof inspections can catch early signs of damage and prevent small issues from escalating into more serious problems. Neglecting inspections may lead to unexpected costly repairs or replacements.

Misconception: Roofs last forever.

Reality: Even the highest quality roofs have a lifespan, typically between 20 and 30 years for asphalt shingles, and longer for metal or tile roofs. Regular maintenance and repair are necessary to maximize the lifespan.

Misconception: It's fine to cover an old layer of shingles with a new one.

Reality: While this practice can save money in the short term, it's often not advisable. The additional weight can strain the home's structure and hidden old shingles may harbor damage, causing problems down the line.
