6 Reasons Why Your Roof Shouldn’t Be a DIY Project

With “Do It Yourself” home improvement projects becoming more popular due to online video tutorials and resources, some homeowners have elected to repair or replace their roof on their own. Even complex roofing projects can seem doable for the average homeowner after viewing a few DIY roofing videos. However, before you start a roofing project on your own, please read below to see some of the reasons why you should hire an experienced and licensed roofing contractor.

Safety
Safety is the most important reason why you should have an experienced and licensed roofing contractor repair or replace your roof. Roofing is one of the most hazardous professions due to the risk of injury from falls. Right Way Roofing provides training and equipment to ensure the safety of our team while working on your roof.
Financial Risk
Since roofing can be dangerous, it’s important to work with a licensed and insured roofing contractor. Right Way Roofing is licensed with the State of New Mexico and insured with worker’s compensation and general liability insurance.

In addition, costly mistakes are a common occurrence with DIY roofing projects because of the lack of expertise by the DIY installer. Many times, the homeowner will need to spend additional money to correct mistakes or may have to abandon the project and hire a roofing contractor to complete the repair or install.

Right Way Roofing only uses the most durable roofing materials and we can purchase those materials at wholesale prices. DIY installers usually pay more for inferior materials, which lowers the quality of the roof at an increased cost.
Professional Inspection
At Right Way Roofing, we provide a free in-depth roofing inspection that identifies all the current and potential problems with your roof. If there is hail or wind damage on the roof, our inspection report assists the homeowner with filing an insurance claim.
Quality Workmanship
Even if the DIY homeowner can overcome most of the complexities of the roofing project, many times the work will not be aesthetically pleasing and could decrease your home value.

Right Way Roofing’s team of experienced roofing installers will ensure the project is done right the first time and will look professional, which will add value to your home.
Warranty
Right Way Roofing offers warranties on the materials we use and the workmanship we provide for all roof installations and we will service any issues with the roof during the warranty period. DIY installers are provided with no warranty and must spend additional money to repair any future problems with their roof.
Time Saved
Having a professional roofing contractor repair or install your roof is worth it for the convenience and time saved to you. Our large team of experienced roofing installers can complete a roof installation in as little as one day, while the average DIY installer could take weeks to finally finish their roofing project.
