DIY Is Out, Pros Are In

Your roof needs regular upkeep and repairs if you want it to remain in tip-top condition throughout its lifespan. While some homeowners try to repair their roof by themselves, Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC does not recommend this practice. As the leading roofing contractor in our area, we suggest leaving roof repair in the hands of professional roofers like us.

Here’s why DIY roof repair is a bad idea:

Your Roofing System Is Complicated

Your roof is complex system involving many different components, which all work together to protect your home from the elements. A problem with one of your roof’s parts can compromise the performance of the entire roofing system. It takes a skilled and experienced roofer to assess your roof’s condition and to spot the problem. We know how your roofing system works, so it’s easy for us to provide solutions for subtle to almost undetectable roofing problems.

It Is Risky

It’s true that going up the ladder and working on your roof on your own may help save you money initially. Is it worth the risk, though? Climbing up to a great height exposes you to danger. It’s best if you leave your roof repairs to pros like us. We have the roofing equipment, training, experience and skills to do the job safely.

It Can Void Your Warranty

In their warranties, roofing manufacturers generally specify that only a trained contractor can repair your roof. This is because mistakes during the roof repair process can shorten your roof’s service life and degrade its performance. The roofing manufacturer does not want to be responsible for the mistakes of amateurs. Our professional services will help you avoid this problem.
