If you’re like most homeowners, you probably don’t put much thought into your roof. Because we don’t think much about our roofs, it’s not uncommon to make incorrect assumptions about them. Unfortunately, those assumptions can lead to problems down the road when it’s time to hire a roof contractor for regular maintenance and repairs. That’s why it’s important to hire an experienced, certified team for your residential roofing services.

Our home improvement experts at The Construction Group in Minnesota have the experience and expertise to help with a wide range of roofing services. In this blog post, we’ll talk about some of the most common misconceptions we encounter when dealing with roof replacement and roof repair services.

These are the most common misconceptions homeowners have about roofs:

1.   Roofs Don’t Need Regular Attention.

Although roofs are assembled from incredibly sturdy materials like metal, wood, and asphalt, nature will eventually take its toll on everything humans can create, and roofs are no exception. After the first decade or so, every roof will show some signs of time’s passage. Performing ongoing annual maintenance can slow the damage and help to protect your warranty. However, putting off regular roof repairs can end up causing serious problems and speed up the need for eventual roof replacement.

2.   Roof Replacement Will Void Your Warranty or Insurance.

If you’re worried about regular roof maintenance causing a problem for your insurance or home warranty, it’s always a good idea to look over your policy. But in most cases, any concerns are about hiring an unlicensed amateur roofer to do the job. Be sure to read the fine print before making any important decisions about your home. Our experts at The Construction Group are licensed to handle all roofing repairs.

3.   It’s Fine to DIY Your Roof Repairs.

In the age of YouTube, everyone is becoming more self-reliant. In most aspects of our lives, that’s a good thing. But roofing repair work can be extremely dangerous business that’s best left to a team of licensed professionals. Most DIY work isn’t covered by insurance or your warranty anyway, so it’s better just to call in the experts.
