Roofing Systems

The roof is the home's first line of defense against the elements. A failing roof can lead to water damage, mold growth, structural deterioration, and significant repair costs. Understanding roofing materials, components, and common issues helps agents identify potential problems, estimate remaining roof life, and guide clients through one of the most expensive maintenance items a homeowner will face.
