Replacing Your Roof Yourself

Roof replacement requires no special skills and can be done by anyone with the proper tools materials and guidance.

Replacing your roof yourself.

Make minor repairs on the roof if it is in good condition. Roofing materials are designed to last an average of 40 years. If you absolutely need a new roof to lower your energy bills and keep water and wind out of your house but you cannot afford it talk to a professional roofer. First of all when it comes to tearing off your roof and replacing it completely the longer it takes you to do so the more your home is at risk of being damaged by inclement weather.

You may be a firm believer in doing some of the work yourself. If a tiling pro is coming to redo your floors perhaps you d want to rip up the old floor before he arrived. All roofs will eventually become worn and weathered and will need to be repaired in part or replaced completely. If not replace bad wood with new plywood sheathing or 1 x 6 sheathing boards whichever is applicable to your type of roof.

The roof is arguably the most important component of your house.
