4 Reasons Why You Roof Repairs Aren’t A Diy Project

Punum Roofing of Houston, Inc.

If you’re a hands-on homeowner who likes to get your hands dirty, you might prefer to do roof repairs on your own. There may be a lot of reasons for this. Some may consider it a way to improve themselves, and others consider it cheaper than hiring a roofer. However, there are a lot of risks associated with doing a roofing project on your own.
You’ll Risk Voiding Your Warranty
If you decide to go the DIY route, you might end up voiding your roofing warranty if anything goes wrong with the project. Both insurance companies and warranties won’t cover damage caused by an owner’s wrongdoing. This policy is implemented to prevent you from doing DIY work and protecting your roof from accidental damage.

You’ll Risk Damaging Your Roof
If you aren’t a trained roofing contractor, you shouldn’t be doing roof repairs on your own. Your roofing system has a lot of intricate components that require the services of a professional roofing company to handle. When doing a roof project on your own, you might miss a few spots when fixing your roof. If you have damaged shingles, you may have replaced them, but missed out on checking the condition of your flashings or underlayment. You’ll need the help of a professional to maximize your roof’s service life.

You’re Putting Yourself at Risk
Most of all, when you’re untrained in handling your roof, you’re putting yourself at extreme risk. You could fall off your roof or suffer a roof collapse if your roof is in bad condition.

This is because we have all the proper equipment, training and insurance to protect you and your home in case of any emergencies.
