When a new roof or repair becomes a necessity, many handy homeowners wonder if they can do the job themselves, or if they should hire a roofing contractor? While tackling the project yourself may seem cost-effective, roof repairs require professional skill and knowledge; otherwise, you may compromise the integrity of your home or the safety of those who live within it. Below are a few reasons why you should hire a roofing contractor to handle the installation from start to finish.

3 Reasons to Rely on a Roofing Contractor

Experience

While there are plenty of DIY guides on patching a roof, this is still a dangerous task for the average homeowner to tackle. Roofing contractors are certified, licensed, and bonded, and they have years of training and on-the-job experience. They also have access to all the right tools and equipment to complete the job quickly. You may spend more money renting or buying these items just to complete the project. 

Save Time & Energy

Because of their above-mentioned experience, roofing contractors understand the most efficient way to complete the project. And they do so with minimum disruption to your schedule and home. A DIY job will often take longer as you look up tutorials or research how to fix common problems you may run into. And if you begin the project and then switch to a roofing contractor, you’ve wasted several days or weeks and money by this point. 

Quality Materials

Roofing companies often work with specific brands for their materials, meaning you’ll pay less thanks to their wholesaler discounts. You’ll want your roof to last for decades, and this will be hard to achieve if you opt for the cheapest materials. Best of all, many roofing contractors offer warranties on parts and labor.
