The roof is one of the most vital parts of your home, so when it’s time for roof replacement, you shouldn’t be in a rush to begin it! There are a few things you should do and keep in mind before you start arguably the biggest and most complex home improvement project you’ll ever do. Roofer Chicks® discusses more.
Never Base Your Roof Choice by Price
Remember the old saying: you get what you pay for. When you’re picking a new roofing system for your home, don’t skimp on the price. The roof is one of the few parts of your home you’re given a pass to spend extra.
Skip the DIY and Go with the Pros
It’s tempting to do any home improvement project on your own, but replacing the roof is one that you should always leave to the pros. The sheer scope of the project is too much to handle for just one person, even if they’re experienced. It’s risky and complex, too, and you’ll actually spend more money going DIY. You’ll have to invest in equipment and materials, after all.
Our team comes complete with all the necessary roofing materials we’ll ever need to do replace your roofing, and we can source higher quality materials at better prices as well. You’re also investing in our skill and experience that we use to make sure your new roof is installed properly.
Include Repairs on Your Budget
When you’re creating a budget for your roof replacement project, it’s a good idea to include some extra for possible repair work. In older homes, the actual roof structure underneath the shingles may already be too old and in disrepair.
In this case, roof repairs are a necessary step before actually installing the new roof. The new roof will have a shorter life if you go ahead and install it without repairing the structure. So when you’re creating a budget, make sure to include some extra for unforeseen repairs.
