Skilled roofers avoid shingle blow offs in Pottstown

Roofers may not see shingles blown off roofs every day. Still, our region has occasional severe winds. So it does happen. And losing even one shingle can cause major problems. How can you avoid them?

Skilled roofers maintain roof integrity in the Pottstown area
Roofers from Mast Roofing and Construction Inc. know what it takes to keep roofing components in place. This can be a workmanship issue. In part, it's as basic as nailing down shingles properly. Nails must be properly spaced and placed. The right number must be used. Nails must not be driven clear through the shingle. They can't be left with the head standing away, which can cut a shingle above.

Sometimes it's more like bad luck. High winds right after a new installation can peel off even properly installed shingles. That's because their self-sealing tabs haven't had enough time and warm weather to stick thoroughly.

The payoff for doing things right
Other elements affect the ability of shingles to stay put. These include roof pitch, effectiveness of glue strips, and how the roof is oriented to prevailing wind. But craftsmanship and experience are key. Contact Mast Roofing for new installations and repairs that stand the test of time and the elements.
