Undertaking a roof replacement project is a significant investment. You want to ensure the job is done correctly the first time. However, working with just any professional roofer may not be enough. Working with an honest roofing contractor who won’t cut corners on your project is crucial.

Some unscrupulous roofing contractors may try to deceive you in the following ways:

1. Using Second-Grade Shingles: Some dishonest roofers may use second-grade shingles, which cost less due to their factory defects. This can result in shingles being blown off by wind uplift, leading to moisture infiltration and premature deterioration.

2. Not Using Enough Nails: Some bad roofers may not use enough nails when attaching your shingles, which can weaken your shingles’ hold on the entire roof. This puts your roof at high risk of being blown away during severe weather events.

3. Improper Ice and Water Shield Installation: A lousy roofer may do the bare minimum when installing ice and water shields. This is a significant problem because the shield needs to be installed with more overhangs to provide adequate protection. However, some unscrupulous roofers tend to install it only 24 inches from the exterior wall to save costs.
