The Dangers of Trying to Repair Your Own Roof
2
  • Just because youre good at making minor repairs
    to your home, and fixing things that have broken,
    this doesnt automatically make you an expert at
    fixing roofs, and unless youre qualified and
    experienced in roof repairs, you should almost
    certainly leave it to the experts.
  • But I can save some money if I do it myself.
    Actually, a bad DIY roof repair job typically
    ends up costing the homeowner more money, as they
    invariably dont fix the problem properly, or
    make it worse due to their inexperience and lack
    of specific roofing knowledge.
  • There are some very real dangers involved with
    attempting to fix your damaged roof yourself, and
    below are some of the most common

3
  • You could easily (and probably will!) make the
    original problem much worse
  • Roofs may look like uncomplicated structures, but
    a lot goes into installing and repairing them,
    and without knowing what youre doing, what may
    look like a simple repair job, can quickly turn
    into a nightmare problem. With all the components
    of a roof working in unison to direct rain down
    from the roof, a hole caused by missing or
    damaged shingle will never be as simple to fix as
    you think. From the hip and ridge shingles, to
    the flashing, gutters and multiple layers of your
    roof if you dont understand how these parts
    work together, you simply wont be able to fix
    your roof.

4
  • A DIY roof repair can damage the roof
  • Even if youre just thinking about getting up on
    your roof to check for a problem or to see what
    repairs might need doing, if you dont know
    exactly where its safe to step, you could easily
    rip up shingle and give your professional roofing
    contractor more work to do.

5
  • You could fall and seriously hurt yourself
  • Never mind the damage to the roof you could cause
    by going up there and trying to carry out a roof
    repair, what about the damage you could cause to
    yourself! Without the expert knowledge of a
    roofer, without equipment to keep you safe should
    you lose your footing, and without the necessary
    insurance to cover your health or any damage to
    the roof if you fall, you could land yourself in
    big trouble when attempting to repair the roof
    yourself. Not only could you seriously injure
    yourself, but you could kill yourself and leave
    your family to cover not only your funeral costs,
    but the cost of a damaged roof.

6
  • Attempting to repair a roof yourself is simply
    never worth the potentially horrific
    consequences, from making the problem worse, to
    losing your life or ending up paralyzed, if your
    roof is in need of repair, please call the
    experts.
