When it comes to Fort Worth, Texas roofing, you want to make sure your home gets the best care it possibly can. That means hiring the best company to install, reroof or repair your roof, as well as choosing the best products and materials. When a roof is poorly installed on your home, it can cause serious issues that can haunt you for years and even take a toll on your home and your wallet. It’s important to know the company you’re working with and trust their reputation prior to the start of your installation. 
Even when you purchase the best materials on the market, if your roof is not installed properly, you can become susceptible to air leaks, water leaks and blown off shingles. With years of experience helping homeowners with all their Fort Worth, Texas roofing needs, A.J. Roofing & Construction has compiled a list of warning signs to tell if your roof was not properly installed.
Improper Nail Usage
Nails are a very important part of your roof being able to function. Nails hold down shingles. Nails that are inserted into your roof improperly or too sparingly will cause your shingles to not be able to do their job. This will cause your shingles to flap up in the wind and inevitably fly off.
Incorrect Flashing
Flashing is metal that is placed in the joint of your roof. This metal protects your chimney and other areas from collecting water and ultimately having leaks. When it is not correctly installed, your home will likely get leaks.
Incorrect Shingle Placement
There’s a process and an art to placing shingles. When not executed correctly it can cause big problems like roof leaks and other issues that can cost thousands to fix.
Incorrect Gutter Installation
Like many of the other issues above, when a gutter is installed improperly it can transport water to part of a roof that is not able to handle the water or to an area that can cause the water to pool. Thus, causing the roof to cave in and cause serious water damage.
Whenever doing any work on your home it’s important to hire professional and reputable companies to complete and carryout the work efficiently. When choosing a company that isn’t equipped to do the job correctly, or a company that has a bad history, you’re risking your own investment and the safety of yourself and your home.
