Dear James: When we have a strong rain, I notice some leaks through my garage’s 25-year-old shingle roof. What are some tips to replacing the shingle roof myself?—Tonya D.
Dear Tonya: It actually is surprising that you are just starting to notice some leaks from a 25-year-old garage roof. Garage roofs often deteriorate faster because builders don’t always install adequate attic ventilation over the garage like they do over the living areas. Without enough ventilation, the shingles get excessively hot in the summer sun, which shortens their life.
