Your roof is one of the most important elements of your home’s structure. It protects your family, your belongings, and the integrity of your house from the elements year-round. So when it comes to roof replacements or repairs, the quality of the work matters—a lot.
Unfortunately, not all roofing contractors take the time or care to do the job right. At Clearview Home Remodeling, we’ve seen our fair share of rushed or poorly done roofing jobs. Here’s how you can tell when your roofing job isn’t up to par—and how we make sure our work stands out for all the right reasons.
1. Uneven or Wavy Shingles
A properly installed roof should look neat, flat, and even. If you notice that your shingles appear bumpy, misaligned, or wavy, it’s likely a sign of poor installation. This can be due to incorrect nail placement, sloppy layout, or even installing new shingles over damaged materials.
How We’re Different:
Our team follows manufacturer specifications down to the last detail and never takes shortcuts. We ensure every shingle is properly placed for both aesthetics and long-term durability.
2. Lack of Proper Flashing
Flashing is a critical component that seals joints and prevents leaks—especially around chimneys, skylights, and valleys. A bad roofing job often skips or improperly installs flashing, leaving your home vulnerable to water damage.
How We’re Different:
We take extra care with flashing and water barriers, using high-quality materials and expert techniques to protect your home from leaks, even in the most vulnerable areas.
3. Missing Drip Edge
A drip edge is a metal flashing that directs water off the roof and away from the fascia and foundation. Surprisingly, some roofers omit this step, which can lead to rot, mold, and water infiltration over time.
How We’re Different:
We never skip critical components like drip edges. We make sure every detail—no matter how small—is included in our installation process to give your roof full protection.
4. Roofing Nails Popping or Misplaced
Improper nail placement is a silent killer of a roofing system. Nails that are overdriven, underdriven, or in the wrong location can compromise shingle integrity and void manufacturer warranties.
How We’re Different:
Our installers are trained to place nails exactly where they need to be—firmly driven and properly spaced—to ensure maximum hold and adherence to warranty standards.
5. Poor Cleanup and Communication
Some roofing companies rush through the job and leave behind a mess—nails in your yard, debris in your gutters, or worse. A lack of communication during the process can also leave you frustrated and in the dark.
How We’re Different:
We pride ourselves on leaving every job site cleaner than we found it. Our team maintains open communication throughout the project, so you always know what’s happening with your home.
