Wood shingle roof replacement
Roofs with wood shingles are truly beautiful; however insurance
companies would prefer other materials for your roof replacement. Insurance
carriers are justifiably concerned about wooden shingle roofs because they do
require a little more maintenance and upkeep than some other types of roofing.
Improper or poor attic ventilation will significantly reduce the life span of a
wooden roof. In addition, wooden shingles can degrade very quickly under the
constant bombardment of solar radiation; much faster than asphalt shingles. The
prevailing direction of storms may visibly impact one part of a roof more than another
part of the roof.
Wooden roofs are also susceptible to fire hazard during periods of
drought or when fireworks are in use; especially in the winter when exposed to
embers from fireplaces or wood stoves. Many homeowners are unaware that wood
shingles are not rated by fire safety codes. Fire retardants offer a little protection,
but they must be reapplied every few years, adding significantly to the cost of
maintenance.
