A new roof can transform your home’s appearance, improve its defense against weather damage and increase comfort levels and energy efficiency. However, you need a licensed roofing contractor to install your roof, if you want it to function properly. A roof may look simple from the outside, but it is actually a system involving many parts working together to protect your home. Installing a roof is not a DIY project, and here’s why:
Slower Project Completion
Replacing your roof takes a lot of time and effort and requires special tools and resources to complete. Non-professionals are not likely to have all the required equipment to properly remove and dispose of the current roof. Your roof needs to be replaced as soon as possible to protect your home from the effects of bad weather. The longer it takes to complete, the more your interior becomes vulnerable to water damage.
Lack of Warranty Protection
Hiring a professional roofing company will not just make your roof replacement quicker. It will also ensure you get the most out of your roof replacement. A certified contractor will be able to provide you with a warranty that covers both manufacturing defects and workmanship errors. A DIY project does not have this protection, so if problems occur in the future because of installation mistakes then you will have to pay for them.
Poor Work
Replacing a roof is a highly technical job and the risks of installation mistakes are too high. A poor installation will lead to roof leaks and a premature roof failure. This is why many states have strict licensing requirements for roofers. It’s best to leave this job to the professionals because they have the training and experience necessary to provide a perfect roof installation.
