Roofing: Do it yourself?

Re-roofing yourself. Your roof is seriously damaged and you know it is due for replacement. You may be wondering whether you should do it yourself or hire professional roofers. You're already imagining the legion of friends who will come to lend you a hand and the party you'll have afterwards to celebrate their generous contribution. Many have tried it and are now our clients. The task seemed within reach of a hammer. They even thought they had done it with success, until the day when seepage started to creep into the house. That's why things only seemed to be going well. Sure, there were savings, but now they were gone and exceeded, with these unforeseen complications. So, think carefully before you venture down such an avenue...

​Correctly assess the quantity of materials needed for the re-roofing

Master roofers know how to measure the right amount of material to use. After all, they know their trade. They will know what minimum quantities to order and what to take in addition to that to cover all eventualities.

For example, if rain falls unannounced while work is still being done on the roof, it can cause some damage to the roof. The precautionary surplus will then be useful to replace them without having to wait to order them, since they are already available. Specialised tools are also in the possession of professional roofers. So you know that an efficient and quality installation will be achieved. They are also equipped to pick up heavy packages, in the sense that they have the physical strength to do so. Because a box of shingles weighs, believe it or not, about eighty pounds! It's not enough to wish very hard to lift it. It takes muscle, and even more to get it up on the roof... on a ladder.

The master roofers covered square feet of it! Thousands of square feet of shingles. By the end of this experience, their eyes are sharp and they don't miss a single flaw.

Quick performance by professional roofers

Professional roofers offer you a number of advantages. But there is one thing you'll like even more: because of their experience, the job will progress better and faster than if it were done by amateurs. A small house can be a one-day job. An average house usually takes two days. You certainly don't want the sounds of hammering or stomping on the roof to go on for too long! You might as well keep it short without skimping on quality. If the work is done in a shorter time frame, there is less risk of weather hazards. And if necessary, these professionals will pull their protective tarpaulins out like a magician pulling a rabbit out of his hat. Your roof will emerge unscathed.

Quality of work and asphalt shingle manufacturer's warranty

In general, asphalt shingle manufacturers offer an excellent warranty, such as Iko, for example. However, in order to do so, they impose manufacturing standards, i.e. conditions that must be met at the time of installation. Otherwise, the guarantee may not be honoured. Obviously, even the most meticulous worker is not immune to error. That's when a key element of the contractor comes into play: his liability insurance! He has therefore thought of everything so that you can rest assured.​

Doing your own roofing involves safety risks

Safety is precious and worth its weight in gold. There are plenty of situations on roofs under repair or refurbishment. Carrying heavy packages, equipment, tools, and working at heights are all circumstances that carry higher risks than raking your lawn. When you take on the job, of course, if you're lucky you might save money, but will you ensure the best possible safety conditions? Toiture Drummondville offers you the best of all possible ways.
