New construction workmanship
Roofs installed at speed sometimes miss ventilation balance or flashing detail. Those defects surface three to five years in, well inside the expected life.

Local conditions
What we see on Lakewood roofs
Rapid growth means a lot of roofs installed quickly. Workmanship varies more here than almost anywhere else in the state, and it is worth knowing what you actually have.
Builder-grade shingle ageing out
Large numbers of homes built within a few years of each other, reaching the end of their roof life on the same timetable.
Attic ventilation shortfalls
Ridge exhaust with no matching soffit intake is the defect we find most often here. It cooks the deck and costs years of shingle life.
Additions and dormers
Decades of extensions leave roof-to-wall junctions everywhere. That is where the leak usually is, not in the open field of the roof.
