Some people consider doing DIY roofing projects in their attempt to save the money they would pay for a professional roofer. However, roofing is not easy and, if you are not qualified, there are too many things that can go wrong and you may end up paying more than you would have for hiring a roofing specialist in the first place.

Even if the price of the work is higher, by opting for hiring a licensed roofing contractor you benefit from services regulated by law, which ensure the protection of your consumer rights.

The works performed by a roofing company imply the existence of a contract and a warranty certificate – which are non-existent when you DIY your roof. The company provides you with warranty for the materials used, as well as for the workmanship, so any problem that appears as long as the roof is still under warranty must be solved, free of charge, by the executor.

Another aspect is that of work accidents that may occur while working on a roof.

In the case of a new roof, these details are even more important. A DIY Aurora roof repair or roofing project can void your insurance, because insurance companies provide coverage only if the roof has been installed/ repaired by a pro, otherwise you will take the entire responsibility for anything that goes wrong.
