Most people understand and accept that cheaper doesn’t always mean better. However, consumers’ buying habits often don’t reflect this commonly held belief. Quite the contrary.
Many times, individuals will gravitate toward the service provider who offers to do the job for the lowest price regardless of perceived qualifications. Unfortunately, cut-rate pricing won’t meet the need if the service provider lacks the knowledge and experience to complete the work proficiently.
Routinely, homeowners will involve a “trusted” handyman to address a roof maintenance or repair issue, especially if the job is “relatively minor.” Often, a handyman can undercut the price a roofing company would charge. In almost all instances, handymen are not subject to the stringent standards and regulatory oversight required of licensed roofing contractors. Consequently, the average handyman incurs lower overhead expenses and can pass on those “savings” to customers.
Why Hiring A Handyman Instead Of A Roofer May Not Be Advisable
Common Problems When Hiring A Handyman For Roof Maintenance Or Repair
How Come Homeowners Are Better Off Hiring A Roofing Contractor
If you are considering a handyman instead of a roofing company, don’t expect them to know the importance of angles and slopes of gutters. Don’t expect them to understand the numerous roofing challenges that soffit or fascia issues create. Don’t expect them to identify often hidden flashing problems quickly and accurately. Certainly, don’t expect them to understand the safe weight loads for your roof & whether it can handle the roofing materials you’d like to use. Swim to safer waters.
