A lot of repair and maintenance tasks are too complex to be performed by most homeowners. However, there are also many that you can do yourself without any special training as a roofer. Consider the following tasks as some of the easiest and most practical that you can try on your own.
Probably the easiest roofing task you can do yourself is a roof inspection. A quick visual inspection can be done even from ground level, and if you get a ladder to climb up and inspect the roof in greater detail, that’s even more helpful. Also, make sure you check for signs of damage in the attic as well, since that’s usually where leaks first appear.
Some basic roof maintenance and repair tasks can also be done without the presence or assistance of a roofer. For example, you can work on cleaning your roof, removing debris and pests, covering leaks, removing and replacing damaged flashing, or getting old leaves and branches out of your gutter system so that the rainwater can flow down more easily.
Basic repairs such as replacing broken and missing shingles should also be pretty straightforward. You’ll simply need to consult local qualified Centennial roofers to find the right size and design of shingles for your roof, and the process of replacing them may take you less than two hours.
