Myth Monday: “A brand-new roof = problem-free. Think again. 👀

During inspections, we’re seeing shortcuts on new builds that could cost homeowners big later:

⚠️ Starter shingles swapped for regular ones flipped upside down
⚠️ Missing underlayment (your home’s first defense against leaks)
⚠️ Gutters crushed during installation
⚠️ Shingles overlapped instead of properly cut

👉 Here’s why it matters: These mistakes shorten your roof’s lifespan and can lead to water damage, mold, and costly repairs — even if your home is “brand new.”

💡 Pro tip: Always ask your inspector to check roofing and gutters carefully. Don’t assume new means perfect.

✅ A proper inspection today = thousands saved tomorrow.
