5 Reasons Not To DIY Your Residential Roofing Job

Apopka residential roofing

Put away your ladder and put down those nails. Apopka residential roofing repair is not a DIY job! Let the pros at Advantage Roofing handle it for you.

When a job needs to be done around the house, it can be tempting to do it yourself. After all, you did a fantastic DIY job on the kitchen tile! Doing it yourself can give homeowners a sense of satisfaction, knowing they have the skills necessary to get the job done without having to call in the pros. However, when it comes to your roof, it’s better to let experts from an Apopka residential roofing company DIT (do it themselves).

Our team at Advantage Roofing has been serving the roofing needs of Central Florida since we were all wearing shoulder pads and watching Cheers. And in our 30+ years in the industry, we’ve learned the best, safest, and most efficient way to repair roofing. Here are some more reasons to call us anytime you need work done to your roof. Besides, don’t you have a bathroom to renovate?

Reason #1: Roof Repair Can Be Dangerous

Any time you climb a ladder, there is risk involved. And when you perform roof repair, all your equipment, materials, and tools must also be carried up the ladder. Speaking of equipment, you may need more than what you have to perform your repair. But we have it all! Our team of skilled professional roofers has the knowledge, tools, and balance to do the job safely.

Reason #2: Roof Repair Requires Special Skills

Knowing the ins and outs of repairing a roof is a skill that our technicians have honed over the years. When Advantage Roofing repairs your roof, you can feel confident that the work will be done correctly the first time. If you DIY your roof repair, you could miss seeing underlying issues that could result in further damage to the roof, leading to more extensive and costly repairs in the long run.

Reason #3: You Could Void Your Warranty

Most shingle manufacturers stipulate that a professional roofing company must handle roof repair work when using their materials. If you DIY your roof repair, you could void the shingle warranty, making you financially responsible for any damage caused by defective materials. If the shingles used in your roof repair turned out to be faulty, your Apopka residential roofing company could take it up with the manufacturer because the materials would still be under warranty.

Reason #4: Professional Roofers Are Licensed And InsuredApopka residential roofing

Your homeowner’s insurance policy may cover personal injury, but that’s only if a third party is injured on your property. If you suffer an injury during your DIY roof repair, you are likely not covered under your homeowner’s policy. Your medical insurance policy may kick in, but that can get expensive, and you’ll still need your roof repaired while recovering.

At Advantage Roofing, our team of roofing professionals is fully licensed and insured, providing comprehensive coverage for our team members and clients. When selecting a roofing company, it is crucial to request proof of licensing and certificates of insurance to safeguard your interests. Reputable companies take pride in complying with legal requirements and regulations to ensure mutual protection. 

Contractors who disregard licensing and insurance obligations shift the risk onto you and are more likely to compromise the quality of workmanship when operating on your property.

Reason #5: Experts Can Do It Cheaper

Your local warehouse store is a great place to buy flooring, paint, and plants, but when it comes to roofing supplies, you’ll likely pay more for DIY-ing it than hiring a professional Apopka residential roofing company. We order our supplies in such large quantities that we get discounts from manufacturers, so you’ll pay less working with us than if you buy your shingles at the DIY store.

Also, factor in the cost you may have if you don’t do the job correctly and have to buy more materials for more fixes. Have we mentioned that we do it right the first time? We do. Here’s a recent review from Linda about our service with her: 

“Very happy with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the staff. By far a much better experience than our last roof replacement. Would definitely recommend Advantage Roofing.”
