While replacing your roof is a project that needs to be done at one point or another, there are many misconceptions out there of what it means to install a new roof. That’s why Madison Roofing would like to clear things up by providing you with the following list of common Boise roofing replacement myths busted.
A DIY Roof Installation Is Easy
Many Treasure Valley homeowners are capable of making minor repairs around their homes. However, a roof should be installed by a Boise roofing company for it to function well and last as long as possible. A DIY roof installation may seem like a good idea at first but can lead to serious problems with leaks and damage to your home. There are simply too many reasons not to tackle this job on your own if you’re not a professionally trained roofer.
A New Roof Is Expensive
It’s true that a new roof can be a little costly in terms of the initial investment. However, it may not be as expensive as you think. In fact, preventing extensive damage to your home due to a failing roof is well worth the cost. Even more, if you re-roof your home before you sell it, this will increase its value, making it an excellent return on investment. Bottom line, a new roof won’t necessarily break the bank.
A New Roof Takes Forever
Many Treasure Valley owners put off getting a new roof because they think that the noise and perceived chaos of getting the job done will take forever. At Madison Roofing, we assure you this isn’t a problem as most residential homes are pretty straightforward when it comes to installing a new roof. In fact, most roofing projects can be completed in just a day or two, depending on the size of your home.
You Can Just Add A New Layer
Adding a new layer of shingles to your existing roof may sound like an easy fix to save time and money. However, tearing off an old roof is pretty standard in a professional roof replacement. Removing old roofing material will also provide a roofer with the opportunity to look for any hidden issues that might be underneath your existing roof. Furthermore, removing old roofing materials is highly recommended if you want your new roof to last as long as possible.
All Boise Roofing Companies Are The Same
Boise roofing companies vary widely in training, experience, and skills. How they estimate, run a project, and cleanup is also different. Additionally, different companies offer different workmanship and installation warranties. That’s why it’s important to do your research for a reliable Boise roofing company like Madison Roofing. Take the time to ask plenty of questions, check the Better Business Bureau, and read reviews left by past customers.
