Risks of Performing DIY Roof Repair

Every homeowner wants to save money when it comes to roof repairs and maintenance. However, DIY roof repairs might actually put your whole roofing system at risk and cost you more than the money you saved.

Here are the risks of a DIY roof repair.

Warranty Issues

One of the most common risks of performing DIY roof repairs is voiding your roofing warranty. In general, roofing warranties cover the roofing products or workmanship for a specific timeframe, and they usually state that only qualified roofing professionals can perform any work on a roofing system. So, if you perform a DIY repair on your roof, this will void your warranty and leave you with higher repair costs in the long run.

Safety Risks

Performing DIY repairs on your roof can create hazards for you and other people, especially if you lack the equipment, tools and skills required by the task. It’s best to hire a roofing contractor so that you can be sure the job is done correctly and safely.

Shoddy Repairs

Without the proper training and skills to assess your roof, you might only cause more harm than good when you fix your roof yourself. Poor or improper repairs won’t give you long-lasting results, so you can expect the same or worse issues to occur after a short span of time. You may have saved on labor expenses, but this would be pointless if you find yourself in need of frequent repairs.
