The 7 Most Costly Roofing Mistakes in the Cincinnati Area
Low bids often mean low-quality work. Always check for licensing, insurance, and real reviews.
Without proper airflow, your attic traps heat and moisture—cutting your roof’s life in half.
Mismatched shingles, poor sealing, and improper flashing can lead to hidden leaks and major damage.
Minor issues become major fast. Always inspect your roof after wind, hail, or heavy rain.
Overflowing gutters rot your fascia and cause water to pool under shingles. Clean them regularly.
It may be legal, but it traps heat and moisture—and masks serious damage underneath.
Patchwork only works so long. If your roof is near the end of its life, invest in a full system before leaks ruin the interior.
