Many people think roofing is similar to flooring, siding, or painting. Take off the old material, put on the new! How difficult can it really be? There is however a world of difference between roofing and other home improvement projects. Roofing is one of the most dangerous and life-threatening jobs in the USA today. Besides the physical danger for the workers, there are intricate details involved in the roofing process that many people do not know about. The details require skilled workers who know what they are doing. There are decking issues, underlayments, flashings at critical junctions, nailing patterns, crickets, and so much more that go into ensuring the installation is leak-free for as long as possible. So when hiring a roofer, be sure they have a track record of installing roofs right!
