More than a few home improvements can be completed with some degree of success by taking the DIY route. But when it comes to roof repair, it should always be left to professionals. Let us elaborate on why roofing work should always be left to the pros:

You Get Professional Results – One of the main benefits of hiring a professional contractor is that you are more likely to get professional results. Conducting roof repair requires the training and experience to recognize even the smallest signs of roofing problems – both apparent and potential – and perform appropriate repairs. If not attended to, the smallest roofing problems can develop into bigger ones. As an Owens Corning® Platinum Preferred Contractor, we have a factory-trained team who can handle most roofing problems.

It’s Safer – Climbing roofs always carry the risk of injury, which is why any activity that involves climbing roofs is best left to professionals. We have the safety training and equipment to let us work on the steepest surfaces with minimal risk.

We Do It Faster – Another benefit of leaving roof repair to professionals is that we can finish it within a specified timeframe. Taking the DIY route means you will have few, if any, people who will help you fix the roof, which means what normally takes a week to repair will take as much as three times as long via DIY.

It’s Cost-Effective – There is a cost associated with every home improvement, and professional roof repair is no different. But consider that, if you take the DIY route – and assuming the problem is correctly identified – you would have had to buy the required materials, plus the tools needed for the job, tools that you would likely only use once in your lifetime. And if there are errors with the repair work, you will have to spend more time, money and effort to have them corrected, perhaps ultimately resorting to hiring a roofing professional to finish the job. On the other hand, you will not have had to deal with these issues if you hire professionals from the start. Errors will also be corrected at no extra cost.

You Get to Keep Your Roofing Warranty – If your roof is still within warranty, hiring professionals is the way to go. Doing your own repairs is likely to void your warranty.
