The Pitfalls of a Rushed Installation

We can often see the evidence of roofs that were installed quickly, by crews more focused on speed than detail. Missing drip edge flashing is a telltale sign; it's a step that takes time and materials, and it gets skipped when someone is cutting corners. So is siding that was never trimmed back from the shingles (which traps moisture and accelerates algae growth), and step flashing that was never properly integrated with the wall.
These aren't catastrophic failures on day one. They're slow burns that create problems years later, and they're almost impossible to detect without getting up on the roof and knowing what to look for.
