Many roofing issues go undetected until professionals remove the shingles. While your contractor removes the old materials, they might discover water damage, rot and mold growth. With a contingency budget, you will have the means to address these problems.

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. Aside from having proper documentation, a reliable contractor will protect other areas of your property before starting the work.
