Dr. Roof has a great post about why DIY roofing is dangerous, not just to roof, but for Littleton, CO homeowners.
The Risks of DIY Roofing
The popularity of home improvement television shows and “How-To” YouTube videos inspire homeowners to take their home improvement projects into their own hands. The problem with that is some projects, such as roofing projects, are dangerous and should only be attempted by professional roofing contractors.
The Financial Risk of DIY Roofing
If anything goes wrong with a DIY roofing project, chances are the homeowner will end up spending more money. Often, this is more money than they would have paid if they hired professional roofers. Carefully consider the time it will take to complete the project, the cost of the materials, and the lost wages that may occur. Some homeowners find that they are unable to complete a roofing project due to abrupt weather changes or other factors. It’s much more expensive to have an emergency roofer come out. Consider spending free time on more straightforward DIY projects and hire a professional to do the needed work.
The Functionality Risk of DIY Roofing
Roofing projects are much more complicated than they appear. It’s not as simple as nailing new asphalt shingles to the roof. Improper installation will result in a leaky roof eventually. If underlayment and flashing aren’t carefully installed, the roof will have gaps, holes, and other imperfections that will lead to leaks. If the roof is flat or low-slope, it can be challenging to locate and repair these leaks. Inexperienced roofers often accidentally leave holes during installation that they don’t notice for months until their roof is leaking and in need of immediate repair. Avoid these headaches and call a professional roofer to repair or replace the roof. (Continued)
