Cheap Roofing Isn’t Worth It

If you’re tempted to call a roofing company who advertises that they have the best prices or discounted roofing, don’t. Cheap roofing isn’t worth it in the long run. Your roof should last close to 20 years, if you try to cut corners by going the cheapest route, it won’t. What will happen is that you’ll end up spending more on roof repair and eventually replacing it sooner than you would have if you had chosen a quality roof replacement that cost a little more.

Bargain Roofers Use Bargain Materials

Anyone can go into a home improvement store and see the cost of shingles. Although not all roofers get theirs there, many do. That means, you know about what they’re paying for each square. So, how can they save money? The use cheap underlayment. Don’t use actual roofing nails or fail to install an ice and water shield. Maybe they use fewer nails than they should.

They Don’t Install Per Manufacturer’s Instructions

What happens when they don’t properly install the shingles per the manufacturers guidelines? You end up with shingles that blow off in the first wind storm. Or, you have a roof leak. No matter what happens, you end up spending money to fix the problem that would not have happened had you not chosen the cheap roofer.
