A Tale of Unexpected Home Improvement Adventures

Ever notice how your roof tends to choose the most inconvenient moments to show its age? At A Plus Roofing’s Hickory office, we’ve seen it all – from creative DIY patch jobs using bubble gum (please don’t) to the infamous “I’ll fix it next summer” syndrome that somehow spans five summers.

Let’s talk about the winter challenges our local homeowners face in Hickory, NC. While you’re sipping hot cocoa inside, your roof is hosting the neighborhood squirrel Olympics, complete with acorn-rolling competitions and freestyle gutter parkour.

Here’s what typically happens when homeowners postpone roof maintenance:

1. Phase One: Denial
– “That water spot? It’s probably just condensation.”
– “The missing shingles add character.”
– “I’m sure that dripping sound is just my imagination.”

2. Phase Two: Bargaining
– “Maybe if I ignore it, it’ll fix itself?”
– “I bet I can catch all the leaks with strategically placed buckets.”
– “Perhaps the neighbors won’t notice the blue tarp if I call it modern art.”

3. Phase Three: Acceptance
– Finally calling A Plus Roofing
– Realizing professional roof replacement isn’t as scary as imagined
– Understanding that squirrels make terrible construction supervisors

Speaking of our Hickory location, we’ve become experts at spotting the difference between genuine roof damage and what we like to call “creative woodland creature renovations.” Our team has rescued countless attics from becoming unauthorized squirrel condominiums.

Remember folks, your roof is like a good haircut – you might not think about it much when it’s doing its job, but everyone notices when it’s not quite right. And unlike that questionable pandemic haircut you gave yourself, this is one DIY project you shouldn’t attempt alone.

Whether you’re in Hickory, Mooresville, Boone, Lenoir, Cornelius, or Newton, our team at A Plus Roofing is here to ensure your roof keeps doing its one job: staying above your head where it belongs. Because let’s face it, indoor weather should never be a thing.

Don’t wait until your attic becomes a wildlife sanctuary or your living room develops its own ecosystem. Let’s get that roof fixed before your home starts qualifying as a water park!
