Don’t Project DIY: How Professional Roofers Do It Best

While some home improvement projects can be tackled with a do-it-yourself approach, roofing repairs and replacements are best left to the professionals.

In this post, top GAF roofer Deschutes Roofing & Insulation will explore why hiring a roofing contractor is a better choice than going the DIY route.

Roofing Expertise and Knowledge

A qualified roofer has extensive experience when it comes to roofing projects of any size or scope. The best ones adhere to industry standards, giving customers peace of mind. For instance, we are a GAF Master Elite® contractor, which means we have access to top-quality, long-lasting roofing systems backed by the most extensive warranties.

Roofing Safety and Roofing Insurance

If you install your roof and perform snow removal on your own, you’ll be responsible for any damage that may happen to your property. Such tasks are also inherently dangerous — doing roofing work means working above ground, which requires safety precautions. This won’t be a problem, however, for experienced professionals who are trained to do the job at a significant height while making sure to observe best practices to ensure no property damage occurs. They are also insured to protect you from 

Knowledge of Home Building Codes

Professional contractors are well-versed in local and state building codes. Their knowledge ensures your roofing project will be finished without any penalties or requests for a redo from the local government.

Quality Roofing Materials and Workmanship

Professional roofers can access high-quality materials and equipment that may not be available to the average homeowner. When you work with them for your roof repair or replacement, you can be confident that the job will be completed to the highest standards, ensuring long-lasting durability and protection for your home. 

Home Cost Savings

If you only look at the upfront costs, DIY roof installations and repairs may seem cheaper. However, unforeseen problems like shingle misalignment or wrong nail placement could cost extra money to repair or replace later. By leaving the task to the professionals, your roof will remain intact and in good condition for decades.
