Your roof is one of the most important—and expensive—investments in your home. But too often, homeowners unintentionally put their roofs at risk by making a few common mistakes. At Bade Roofing, we’ve seen it all. Here’s a quick guide to help you protect your home and avoid costly errors.
A small leak or missing shingle might seem minor, but left unchecked, it can lead to serious structural damage and even mold. Regular inspections and prompt repairs can save you thousands down the road.
Bade Tip: Don’t wait for visible damage—schedule routine roof checkups, especially after storms common in the Greater St. Louis area.
While it might be tempting to climb up and fix a problem yourself, roofing repairs require professional skills and safety precautions. DIY fixes often lead to more damage—or even personal injury.
Instead, call in certified pros like the team at Bade Roofing, who know how to safely identify and repair the root of the issue.
We understand that roofing is a big expense, but going with the lowest bid can often mean subpar materials, poor workmanship, or contractors who disappear after the job. Always check for certifications, experience, and reviews.
Every roofing material has a lifespan. Asphalt shingles may last 15–30 years, while metal or slate can last longer. Understanding where your roof is in that cycle helps you plan for replacement before leaks start.
Don’t let a small mistake turn into a major repair.
