Replacing Your Roof Yourself

Roof replacement requires no special skills and can be done by anyone with the proper tools materials and guidance.

Replacing your roof yourself.

And while nobody likes having to pay to replace a roof the critical and aesthetic function it serves should help ease the pain of spending 8 000 to 20 000 on the work. First of all when it comes to tearing off your roof and replacing it completely the longer it takes you to do so the more your home is at risk of being damaged by inclement weather. All roofs will eventually become worn and weathered and will need to be repaired in part or replaced completely. If not replace bad wood with new plywood sheathing or 1 x 6 sheathing boards whichever is applicable to your type of roof.

If a tiling pro is coming to redo your floors perhaps you d want to rip up the old floor before he arrived. Even with a team of 3 4 people you re looking at a minimum of 2 3 full days of work for a full replacement. Make minor repairs on the roof if it is in good condition. After all it keeps water out of the building.

If you absolutely need a new roof to lower your energy bills and keep water and wind out of your house but you cannot afford it talk to a professional roofer.
