Roofing can be a tricky endeavor. There are more than a few things that could go wrong. In fact, some of these mistakes could even damage your home in the process. In this video, you will learn about some of these mistakes. This is why it is almost always better to hire professional roofers unless you have experience with roofing yourself.
The first mistake that could damage your home is stopping your project part way through. Professional roofers can likely finish a job much faster with their expertise and with more people.
The issue with taking a long time is that it leaves your roof vulnerable to the elements. You don’t want an unexpected rain storm to send wind, rain, and debris down into your rafters. This can lead to all sorts of problems from mold to integrity issues. At the very least, place a tarp over your roof if you suspect that rain is coming. Just make sure that it is tied down well.
Another mistake that can damage your roof is placing too many shingles on one area of your roof. This can put too much weight on the beam and may even cause it to crack or give in entirely.
