The Common Dangers of DIY Roof Repairs


Home improvement projects can be fun when it’s a do-it-yourself activity. However, there are particular cases where this isn’t recommended — such as fixing sink drains, replacing windows and addressing leaks. These tasks require special equipment, professional experience and expertise, and there is also a risk of danger. Roofing jobs easily fall into this category, making it ideal to leave the work to professionals.

The Common Dangers of DIY Roof Repairs

In this post, your trusted siding contractors and roofers discuss why DIY roof repairs are dangerous.

  • It isn’t safe. Any form of roof work is risky. If you get in an accident and injure yourself, the costs will be higher than if you were to call and hire a roofer in the first place. Moreover, falling from even a single-story roof can cause serious injuries.
  • You may purchase low-quality materials. DIYs are an excellent option to consider if you want to save money. But if you have no adequate knowledge about roofing materials, you could end up selecting the wrong product for your roof replacement or repair.
  • You’re likely to deal with bad craftsmanship. Remember that professionals ensure quality and lasting repairs. If you have no experience in building or replacing roofs, this could easily result in poor craftsmanship and a shorter roofing lifespan.
  • It may void your warranty. Manufacturers and roofing companies usually provide a warranty on their products or any work they conduct at your home. It gives homeowners peace of mind and a safety net if problems arise due to defective materials or faulty workmanship. However, when you try to do roofing repair on your own, there is no such guarantee. Manufacturers will reject your warranty if anyone other than certified roofing personnel works on your roofing system.

DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
HERE IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY

When we needed a new roof for our home we were met by Home Pro’s lead man, Dan Lynch, who provided us with a detailed breakdown of what the job entailed and the steps that would be taken to complete it. That breakdown was clear, concise and followed thru with professionalism. Home Pro gave us a quality job at a fair price, and you can’t ask for more.

This is the second time we have used Home Pro Exteriors. First time we had a new roof installed and we were completely satisfied with their work. Clean and efficient. Never know the crew was there! Now we had a new window installed in our bedroom…Wow what a difference! both of the crews that worked on our home were extremely professional. and again you would never know any work was done clean and efficient as usual. We would recommend Home Pro to anyone looking for the very best in exterior work for their home.

My wife and I decided to build a home from the ground up. With all the things we had to worry about we didn’t want finding a reliable contractor to be one of them. We called Home Pro to put up the siding because they offered the product and color we were looking for. Their execution was impeccable and more importantly they were honest and reliable.

I hired Home Pro Exteriors to help us execute several projects on a home renovation show and Joe and his crew were as good as it gets. He was professional, friendly, courteous, and worked effectively and efficiently to get the job done. Not only did Joe help execute ideas, but he built an art studio from scratch and made our clients cry tears of joy. He even designed and custom made draft boards for the artist himself…

We thought redoing our roof would be a nightmare but Home Pro was a dream come true. We really appreciated the time they took to explain what we could expect of the project. Their workers were skilled and a pleasure to deal with. We’re very happy with the finished result and have already recommended Home Pro to others!

We finally decided this was the year to build a patio room off the living room. We called several companies for an estimate, and we are so glad Home Pro was one of them. They listened to our needs and worked with us to build a suitable design. They always came on time, kept the space clean, and finished within the timeline given. We are so happy with our patio room! Thanks guys!

I needed a new roof, and two windows replaced. Home Pro Exteriors was recommended and so they were my choice. Everything came out beautiful, especially my windows which were skylight windows and in much need of repair.

Virginia P.

When I thought about needing to replace my leaking roof, I was overwhelmed, until I met with Bill Pignataro, owner of Home Pro Exteriors. I already had a few other estimates but Bill put my mind at ease.
