DIY Roof Repair Project

Roofing projects are not to be handled by DIY enthusiasts on their own. Roofing work is dangerous and chances are that amateur roofer lacks the specialized experience or the tools to be able to fix, replace or install their own roofs properly. Even a long time Dallas roofing contractor implements safety training.  Here are a few of the major pitfalls of DIY roofing work:

  • The risk of accidents – if you are not comfortable working at heights and you don’t use the right type of safety equipment, including non-slip shoes, safety straps and harnesses, you risk getting severely injured up there;
  • Work performed improperly – roofing work that looks great after it is finished is not necessarily durable as well. Improperly performed work can lead to the appearance of mold not only underneath the roof, but in the entire house as well and in extreme cases it can also cause the entire roof to age faster or to collapse;
  • Unnecessarily high costs – DIY roofing work usually costs much more than the same work done by a professional. Though many homeowners think that they can save on labor costs doing the roofing job themselves, in reality, they will probably end up paying more because of the inaccurately calculated material quantities or the materials that the inexperienced roofer ruins during the work and that need to be bought again.

The Benefits of Choosing a Roofing Contractor with Warranties

Roofing Companies That Offer Warranties

Getting a new roof or having a large part of the old roof replaced or repaired is a huge investment, so you need all the warranties that you can get. There are lots of different types of warranties attached to roofing projects, including not only the warranties offered by the manufacturers of the roofing materials used, but also the warranties offered by a roofing company like CLC Roofing on the installation work.

While the manufacturer’s warranty covers the materials that will be used for the roofing project, most roofing material manufacturers have very strict requirements when it comes to how their products are used – if the contractor that is in charge of using the products does not guarantee that the manufacturer’s specifications and instructions are followed, you might lose the product warranty altogether.

What a roofing contractor that offers warranties on his services can give you is not only peace of mind that your roof has been properly installed – he can also give you the peace of mind that your investment is protected if your home is affected by some sort of extreme weather event, such as a storm or a hurricane. The first thing that homes insurers do in such cases is to check whether the roofing materials used are suitable for the climate area and if they have been installed in a flawless, professional manner – the only way to prove that is by providing the manufacturer’s warranty accompanied by the contractor’ warranty.

Quick Tips For Roof Repairs

Chimneys are durable, strong and resistant structural components, but they are exposed to the elements all the time, which can wear them down over time according to experienced Dallas roofing professionals. Some types of chimney damage are visible from the outside, but the absence of obvious indicators is not a guarantee that your chimney is safe and sound. Here are some obvious and some less conspicuous signs that your chimney needs repair:

  • Damaged mortar – this issue can affect the part of the chimney that rests on the roof as well as the part that runs through the attic to the fireplace. Fortunately, it is easy to remedy, but you need to fix it as soon as you can to avoid water penetration and aggravated damage;
  • Spalling – this problem appears when the previous issue is left unaddressed for two long. The water absorbed by the chimney’s bricks damages the masonry, causing the bricks to peel, to pop or to crumble, so be quick to remedy the issue;
  • Rust in the firebox – if your fireplace becomes difficult to operate, the cause may be the damp and rusty firebox. The issue poses a fire hazard, too, so you need to act quickly;
  • A damaged chimney crown – this issue can be noticed only if you climb up to the chimney and take a close look. The crown of the chimney is the first line of defense against the element – if it gets cracked, it can no longer protect the other parts of the chimney against water damage, so restore the integrity of the component as soon as you notice the cracks.
