    Skipping the Deck Inspection

    A new roof over a damaged deck is a short-term fix. BST performs a complete tear-off and deck inspection on every replacement, so damaged decking is addressed before the new system is installed.

    Choosing the Cheapest Bid

    The lowest price often means cut corners — thinner underlayment, fewer components, or rushed labor. A roof is a system; each part matters. BST focuses on complete installations with premium materials rather than temporary fixes.

    Ignoring Warranty Coverage

    A reputable contractor stands behind their work. BST roof replacements are backed by a lifetime warranty and leading manufacturer warranties on materials — protection you lose when you hire an uninsured or unlicensed contractor.

    Using the Wrong Materials for Your Roof

    Roof pitch, complexity, and local weather all affect which system is right. BST installs architectural high-wind shingle systems with synthetic leak-barrier underlayment, drip edge, and customized ridge vent — components matched to your property, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
