Common Roofing Mistakes Made By Homeowners

Roofing Greenville NH

The Adam Vaillancourt team gets it, investing in a new roof is expensive. There can be apprehension because of the cost, and we have known many homeowners who looked for other solutions that can save them money. Though we are aware they are looking out for their best interests, there are plenty of mistakes homeowners make when trying to cut down on costs for their roof repairs or replacements.

Completing DIY repairs or replacements without any experience

Roof installation and repair is no easy task. Unless you have the knowledge and expertise of a professional, making these changes on your own can be dangerous and challenging. Not only do many homeowners often cause more damage than the money they save, they usually end up calling a roofing contractor when they realize the extent of the work and preparation that goes into properly installing or repairing shingles.

Buying shingles based solely on price

We completely understand the desire to want to save money where possible, but buying shingles without the help of a contractor can cause more harm than good. Contractors know of the best brands on the market, can get you a competitive price, and will ensure you have the appropriate quantity. Though you might think you’re getting a steal on your personally bought shingles, it might prove to be just as expensive in the long run.

Hiring the first contractor you find

Much like other construction jobs, take your time to do your research. Though your family member or friend might recommend someone they know who will get you a great deal, it doesn’t mean they will do the best job. Finding a roofing contractor to complete work in Andover or Concord, MA is easy, but finding a superior contractor that will ensure the best product possible takes a little more digging.

Why the Fall is your best time to get a roof replacement

If you have been thinking of replacing your roof, the Fall is the best time to do it. The summer can bring storms and rain and the winter, of course, would never be the right time unless it is an emergency. Make sure to set up the replacement earlier in the summer months because your roofing contractor will likely be replacing many a roof between September and November.
