Your roof is a complex system made of many different components. That’s why any work done on your roof—whether routine maintenance, roof repair, or complete replacement—should be handled by an experienced professional.
As roofing experts, it is our duty to warn our clients about the potential dangers of DIY roof work. Here are four of them.
1. Improper Repair
Yes, you can probably find a tutorial online for any type of DIY roof work imaginable—but do you really want to risk that? Roof damage is rarely straightforward, and underlying roofing issues often go unnoticed by the untrained eye. A faulty or incomplete DIY repair job will only cause you more problems and more expenses down the road. It’s simply not worth the risk.
2. Quality Control
Professionals are experts because they have undergone extensive training, have obtained proper licenses, and are simply the best in their field. While you may think you’ve done your research, professional roofers will always know more because of their training and extensive experience in the field. This gives them a major advantage over any self-taught individual.
3. Safety Concerns
The mere act of climbing a ladder onto your roofing system exposes you to safety risks. You not only have to worry about injuring yourself—you should also be concerned about causing further damage to your roof. Professional roofers have been extensively trained in the appropriate safety measures to employ while working on a roof.
4. Warranty Issues
Most roofing warranties will be voided if roof repair work is not handled by a licensed professional. Even if you’re sure you know what you’re doing, nothing is worth the risk of having your warranty voided.
