Why Most Roofs Fail Before 10 Years (Owens Corning Breakdown) Ep.5

Описание: Most roofs don’t fail because of storms. They fail because contractors skip steps you never see.

In this episode of Roofing Done Right University, Nick Kellogg breaks down the entire Owens Corning roofing system from the deck up and explains why material choice, installation order, and ventilation decide whether your roof lasts 10 years or 40+.

This is the exact system Roof Republic installs on 99% of our residential projects, and once you see why, you’ll understand why cheap roofs always cost more later.
