Ignore Warning Signs:
Missing shingles, warped flashing, or dark spots in your attic are all red flags that shouldn't be ignored. Early intervention from Green Attic Roofing can save you money and hassle in the long run.
DIY Roof Repairs:
Unless you're a trained roofer, tackling repairs yourself can be dangerous and lead to further damage. Trust the professionals at Green Attic Roofing for safe, reliable solutions.
Put Off Necessary Repairs:
Minor issues can quickly escalate into major problems, especially with Chicago's unpredictable summer weather. Don't delay addressing any identified concerns – it's cheaper to fix a small problem now than a big one later.
Neglect Ventilation:
Proper roof ventilation is crucial for regulating temperature and preventing moisture buildup. Ensure your vents are clear and functioning correctly. If you're unsure, call Green Attic Roofing for a ventilation assessment.
Keep an eye on the weather forecast and take precautions before storms hit. Secure loose outdoor furniture that could become windblown projectiles and damage your roof.
