There are a lot of misconceptions about roofing. Some of these myths can lead to costly mistakes. In this blog post, we’ll debunk some of the most common roofing myths.
Myth 1: A steep roof is more likely to leak than a flat roof.
Fact: The steepness of a roof has no bearing on its likelihood of leaking. In fact, flat roofs are more prone to leaks because they don’t allow water to run off as easily.
Myth 2: You should replace your roof every 20 years.
Fact: The lifespan of a roof varies depending on the materials used, the quality of the installation, and the local climate. Some roofs can last for 30 or even 40 years.
Myth 3: You can save money by doing your own roof repairs.
Fact: While it may seem like you can save money by doing your own roof repairs, it’s often better to leave it to the professionals. Roofing is a dangerous job, and it requires specialized skills and equipment.
Myth 4: You can’t get a new roof if your credit is bad.
Fact: There are a number of financing options available for roof replacement, even if your credit isn’t perfect.
Myth 5: A darker roof will make your home cooler in the summer.
Fact: While dark roofs can absorb more heat, they can also reflect it back into the atmosphere. This can help to keep your home cooler in the summer.
