DIY Roofing Fails

By   Comments off  Home

DIY projects are always popular, with people thinking they can complete tasks by themselves, without any professional help. Here is some DIY roofing fails that you can hopefully avoid.

The biggest fail is causing more damage whilst looking for damage. It is easy to damage your tiles with one misstep.   It is always better to inspect for damage from the ground or with a drone. Even better still, call a roofing contractor.

It can be tempting to cover roof vents to prevent insects and small mammals from entering your home. But these vents serve an important purpose for ventilation and removing fumes from the house. Never cover them over; otherwise, you may have issues further down the line.

Choosing cheap or improper material is our final DIY fail. If you need to replace tiles on your roof, you must have the right tools and the correct spec of roof time to complete the job. Using the incorrect tile or fixings could mean that you lose that roof tile on the next windy day.
