Sometimes it pays to hire a professional, even if you take pride in your do-it-yourself projects.
Need to fix a creaky cupboard door, patch a wall or do some touch-up painting? No problem. Have a roof that's streaked with stains or missing tiles or shingles? It's time to hang up your tools and talk to a professional.
While there are certain projects you can probably tackle on your own, roofing isn't likely to be one of them. Even if you are familiar with valleys, ridges, hips, flashing and fascia, you've still got to know how to identify problems and how to fix them. Otherwise, your do-it-yourself project could wind up costing you more in the long run--especially if you take a tumble off the roof.
Yes, sometimes it pays to hire professional residential roofers in Las Vegas. Here's a look at when it makes sense and can save you cents:
When inspections point to problems
Many homeowners take a look at their roofs a few times a year just to make sure everything is properly in place. They stand on the sidewalk and gaze up at their roof. This is a good start, but it won't be enough to point out serious problems. Having your home inspected by a professional ensures that any streaking, stains, buckling, curling or broken tiles or shingles can be addressed before they lead to water damage, moss or mildew growth, or mold in your attic.
When it's time to perform maintenance
It's been said that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This is especially true when it comes to your roof.
Residential roofers in Las Vegas know that properly maintaining a roof can prevent expensive problems in the future. You should have your roof inspected and maintained at least once a year--and when you do, you should call a professional so that nothing is missed. Missing something small today could lead to a big problem and project down the road.
When it's time to move
Realtors will tell you that one of the first things prospective homebuyers look at when they pull up to a house is the roof.
They want to know how old it is, whether or not there have been any problems with it and how long it's likely to last. After all, nobody wants to buy a house that needs a new roof. Your realtor will only be able to answer these questions--and maximize the value of your home--if a professional roofer has been out to take a look at your roof. Residential roofers in Las Vegas can ensure that your roof is an asset rather than a liability. They'll make sure that it looks good, works well and gives potential buyers peace of mind. And that's can be worth an awful lot when it comes to your bottom line.
