Beyond Exteriors, a Fairfax roofing company, recently released an article explaining why individuals should avoid DIY metal roof installation and seek help from a professional roofing contractor. DIY metal roof installation can be a dangerous undertaking, so it's best to consult a local contractor.

Metal roofs are made from metal pieces or tiles instead of traditional roofing materials. They are highly resistant to weather, impermeable, and last for up to 100 years, making them an ideal choice for areas that experience dangerous weather conditions. They are also lightweight, creating less stress on roof support structures and making them a good choice for large or old buildings. Installing one of these roofs, however, can be dangerous. Homeowners who do not use a harness could be at risk for injury, and incorrect shingle installation could allow water to enter and damage the home. The project may also go over budget due to lack of proper training and mistakes made as a result. Well-meaning homeowners who choose to install their roofs themselves may soon find themselves frustrated over the project, instead of enjoying the security of their roof.

It is therefore recommended that homeowners hire a professional contractor to complete their roof installation or replacement. While the investment in your new roof may seem steeper, you might save money because a contractor's extensive training will increase the likelihood that the roof is installed correctly the first time. Contractors also carry insurance and use safety equipment, lessening the chances of a costly injury. A professional can also spot and correct mistakes or other issues before they become larger and more expensive concerns. Thanks to their expertise and years of practice, a professional contractor can install your new roof more safely and quickly than if you took on the project yourself.
