A roof repair is a simple and straightforward process, but it requires the expertise of a professional to get the job done. Even so, several misconceptions continue to persist, many of which can cost you money. Roofmasters Roofing and Sheet Metal, one of the leading roofing and sheet metal fabrication contractors in the area, reveal the truth behind some of the most common myths surrounding roof repairs.
It is easy to think that your roof is in great shape if you give it a quick visual inspection and find that there’s no damage to the shingles. However, your roof’s overall condition depends on much more than what you see from the ground. This is one reason why you need to have your roof inspected by a reliable roofing contractor. They can detect leaks and other forms of damage that are not visible to an average eye.
Repairing a section of shingles or a piece of bad flashing is fairly simple to do, but only if you have some experience in tackling a wide range of roofing projects. Unfortunately, some homeowners choose to do them anyway, mostly for only one reason: to save on labor costs. Considering how complicated moisture problems can be, roof repairs should be handed over to expert roofing contractors.
Not all contractors have your best interests in mind. Some may tell their customers that all shingles are the same. If you ever encounter a team of roofers making that suggestion, ignore them and move on. Shingles vary in terms of quality, and you most certainly get what you pay for. High-quality shingles, or any roofing material for that matter, tend to be long-lasting, more durable and more weather-resistant than their cheap counterparts.
