Getting a new roof can be expensive. There are so many grades of shingles,
different manufacturer's, different warranties, colors, and styles. You can buy the most expensive and best shingles out there,
but if not installed properly, can end up wearing quickly and may even fall off, which can then cause damage to the interior
of your home. If your going to install shingles yourself, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions. In the
instructions they'll give you information on what is the proper nails to use, nail placement, use of felt and flashings, proper surfaces
to nail to and so on. In the photo above, the nails were not properly placed and were countersunk into the asphalt shingles.
This allowed this brand new roof to start coming loose and shingles started sliding down the roof. If your not comfortable
installing roofing yourself, it's always recommended to find a quality contractor through your local home builders association
or better business bureau.
