Homeownership is not without its own set of problems, particularly in taking on big repair jobs. While some repairs can be handled on your own, it can be a mistake to handle a roof repair or installation without professional assistance. Here are just a few reasons hiring an experienced roofing contractor can save you money and time.

3 Reasons to Hire a Professional Roofing Contractor

1. Could Cause More Damage

Since you’re unfamiliar with roofing work, you may cause more damage to your home. You may damage other tiles, the eaves, or molding, which are all essential components for protecting your home against rain, wind, and debris. A roofing contractor employs experienced workers who know how to move about the roof safely.

2. Save Money

When you take on a home improvement project yourself, you may be content to end up with a less-than-perfect job. This is a convenient way to get some work done at a significant discount, but roofing repair is not one of those types of projects. A mislaid shingle or a gap in the roof’s decking can leave your home vulnerable to water damage. In that case, you’ll have to call a roofing contractor to repair the problem, which may mean tearing up the roofing you previously laid down. In addition to paying for labor, you may end up having to pay twice the cost in roofing supplies.

3. Invalidate the Warranty

Roofing supplies come with manufacturer warranties that can save you money down the road. However, there are certain terms you must meet to ensure the warranty remains in effect. If you can’t show your roof installation was completed by a professional, you may not qualify for compensation if you find later that your tiles or shingles are faulty. Letting certified professionals complete the work can protect this investment in your home.
