In order to save some money, many homeowners opt to DIY things around their home, like painting cabinets and adding backsplash. This is perfectly fine and can create a creative outlet for you. But roof repairs are not one of those things.
Here are reasons why you should not do your own roof repairs and should call a professional instead.
- You tend to spend more money in the long run. Sure, a DIY roof repair might cost less upfront, but it can quickly add expenses as time goes on. Even a small mistake like placing nails incorrectly or not sealing seams on your roof can cause extensive damage and therefore expensive repairs.
- There is a chance your warranty will be voided. Most manufacturers offer warranties on their products if installed by a qualified roofing contractor according to proper application instructions. Any damage to these products or improper installation may cancel the warranties, leaving you unprotected should something go wrong in the future.
- You may deal with insurance issues. Damage and loss due to weather events, like strong winds or wildfires, are covered under homeowner’s insurance policies. But if your roof is not maintained properly before, say, a rainstorm, you could have trouble getting full reimbursement.
- Roofing work can be delayed. It takes time to inspect a roof and actually complete the roofing work. A minor repair that takes roofing specialists a day can take regular homeowners several days or even weeks to finish. Between the safety hazards, day-to-day hassle and cost of delays, surely a professional roof repair service is the better option for you.
