3 Common Roof Replacement Planning Mistakes You Should Avoid

June 16, 2021 by Heritage Roofing

Your roof is an integral part of your home. When it’s time to replace shingles roof, you definitely need to put some careful thought into it. Unfortunately, many homeowners tend to breeze through the planning process and pay for it later on. In today’s post, your friends over at Heritage Roofing shares the three most common roof replacement planning mistakes that you should definitely avoid. 

1. Not Hiring a Local Company

While there is nothing wrong with hiring a good roofing company from out of state, it is still recommended that you work with somebody local, preferably someone from your own community. Hiring a local roofer means that you can easily get a hold of them should any issues arise before, during and after the replacement job.

2. Skipping a Written Estimate

This is something that should be avoided at all costs. When the residential roofer you decide to work with first comes over to do an inspection, they will probably give you a ballpark estimate on how much the replacement job will cost. But don’t just take their word for it. Be sure to get everything in writing so that there are no surprises later on that might derail your budget and schedule.

3. Choosing Price Over Quality

When replacing your roof, you might be tempted to skimp on quality at the expense of quality. This is definitely a big no. When it comes to something as important as your roof, quality should always be the priority. You might think that you are saving money by choosing subpar materials but this can later backfire and end up costing you more in repairs later down the road.
