A roofing contractor can do a risky job for you

Roofing is not a do-it-yourself project

Roofing looks simple — especially when you see it being done by a professional roofing contractor in Charlotte or Concord, NC. You may be tempted to try to do it yourself. Resist this temptation. Walking around on your roof is dangerous. There may be unexpected gusts of wind. If you are carrying heavy tools or a sheet of metal roofing, you might not be properly balanced.

And then there is the fact that roofing contractors know much better than you how to do the work properly. Before you even buy a new home, a roofing contractor can perform an inspection on the roof and let you know what condition it is in. If it is damaged, a roofing contractor can tell you if it can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced. A good roofing contractor can replace shingles, tiles or metal roofing, provide chimney caps and clean gutters too clogged for a hose, and can tell you what weak spots need to be repaired before the next rain, hailstorm or snow.

And before you climb onto your roof with hammer in hand, read the fine print on your warranty. If your roofing came with a warranty, there may be a line in it voiding the warranty if someone works on the roof who is not a certified roofing professional.
