2. Construction-Related Roof Damage

Whether getting a roof repair or replacement, you must work with a licensed and insured contractor. It will protect you when something goes wrong during construction. For instance, refuse materials could fall and damage your windows or siding. If your roofer is not insured, you will cover the repairs yourself.
