Should I hire a professional roofing contractor to install my new roof?
The skills required for the
installation of a new roof system are numerous, including following the
manufactures specifications, safety concerns and OHSA requirements, along with
roofing / carpentry / and often times
masonry expertise. Roofing is like many professions: after a few hundred jobs
you have encountered almost all those
things that can go wrong or require special attention.

Remember, licensed
professional installers generally receive manufacture warranties that are
longer and more comprehensive. Installing your own roof is always possible,
just like fixing your own car, or building your own home. The challenges of
weather, insurance (required for any helpers), safety and proficiency make
it a job that you may want to think twice about before starting yourself.
