When it comes time to find professional roofers to work on your home or business, you want to make sure they are familiar with specifically what it is you need done to YOUR roof. There are many different kinds of roofs as well as roofing materials, and not all roofers have all the skill sets to handle all the different variations. For example, just hiring a handyman might not be enough if your roof has has asphalt shingles and a chimney (or chimneys) that need special flashing around them.  

Here in the Tucson area, are they comfortable working with, around and/or installing rain gutters? Can they hands roof tiles, or a rubber roofing material on a flat roof? What about wood shingles and dealing with felt paper? Some handymen will offer to do siding as well as roofing, which adds a whole other set of variables to consider.  

The best way to know you’re getting someone who can truly do what you’re asking them is probably to check with the Better Business Bureau and see what kind of reputation they have established there. 

Always observe every safety precaution with roof repairs, and so schedule it when the forecast is favorable. You may be able to complete the repair in half a day or less, or if you use a contractor then that will be faster. Also, your roof has to be dry if there is a known leak you plan to repair. Also be aware that if the wood is rotted, then you are looking at having to replace that in addition to everything else. One thing you want to avoid is putting tar paper, for underneath the shingles, and then leaving it without covering. Sure, roofing and replacing them is not something most people learn about in school, so no need to worry about this. Hopefully you have some options such as being willing and able to fix it yourself, or, you can afford to hire a roof contractor to take care of the damage. I think you would agree that being in a vulnerable position regarding dealing with contractors is not the most attractive position. Learn about al you can, it’s really up to you – and especially all the types of shingles on the market. Most people just accept that they are powerless in this situation, and nothing could be further from the truth.

If you have a fair to a lot of water damage to the roof A-frame, then you may be able to let it air dry depending on the extent of water. Sometimes wood can dry out and recover if it has not been saturated to the bone. Extensive leaks can cause your support beams visible in the attic to start to bow and warp some. So sometimes it’s not immediately known what the extent of repairs will be. Be very sure that the weather will be cooperative, and sunny days are ideal for many reasons including sufficient light.

The extent of what you have to take care of may be cause for doing the entire roof shingles. There is nothing that can replace being right there and examining the area in question. When you are working on your roof, don’t forget to be very careful to avoid falls.
