We'are Open & Ready to Help. Our experienced roofers offer reliable residential & commercial roof repair, replacement & installation services.
There is a reason the phrase for seeking shelter is “put a roof over your head.” The roof is the most important part of your home after the foundation. It protects you, your family, and your personal property from the elements. They are not indestructible, however. Roofs have a limited life expectancy and even that can be cut short if a storm hits. Pro Atlanta Roofing has been in the roofing industry for many years, and if there is one thing that we have learned it is that this industry is risky. If you decide to take care of your own roofing, then we recommend you read this article to understand some of the risks involved. Those with questions or concerns are invited to call Pro Atlanta Roofing. Our friendly representatives are always happy to help.
Safety Risks
It goes without saying that roofs are pretty high off the ground. This, combined with the angles of the roof and the slip factor, means that there is serious risk to your safety. If you are going to take on a roof repair or replacement on your own, then be sure to invest in the appropriate safety equipment. There is still risk of injury even with the correct tools and equipment. Be sure to do extensive research on roofing techniques. Failing to take the right precautions can mean serious injury or even death.
Improper Installation
Your roof protects your home from snow, rain, wind, and even sunlight. Making even a small mistake during the installation or repair can expose your personal property and family to hidden leaks, mold growth, electrical hazards, water damage, and more. It is important that you use quality tools and materials in addition to proper techniques. It would be a shame to go through so much effort only to have to re-do it later.
Wasted Time
A roof repair and installation are not simple tasks. It takes a lot of experience and knowledge to properly finish the task. Going into such a project will require a great time investment and will likely take longer than you expect. To make matters worse, you will be on a time crunch because the longer the roof is incomplete, the more exposed it will be to damage from the elements.
Unexpected Expenses
There is a steep learning curve when it comes to roofing – no pun intended. Mistakes can expose your property to damage, take up your valuable time, and consume materials. Choosing the wrong materials and fixing mistakes will eat away at your budget. You should consider all of the short term and long-term expenses if you are going to start on such a large DIY project.
