DIY roofing can save money but increases risk. Knowing your limits prevents expensive mistakes and dangerous situations.
DIY-Friendly Tasks
Gutter cleaning, minor shingle replacement, and simple repairs may be DIY-appropriate for experienced homeowners.
Always Professional
Complete replacements, structural repairs, and complex leak diagnosis require professional expertise.
Safety Considerations
Steep roofs, multi-story homes, and any height discomfort warrant professional service. Safety trumps savings.
Tool Requirements
Professional tools significantly affect quality. Specialty equipment justifies contractor costs.
Warranty Implications
DIY work may void existing warranties. Understand warranty impacts before proceeding.
Time Investment
Roofing projects take longer than expected. Consider time value when comparing costs.
