Are You Paying Twice for the Same Roof?

We’ve been getting a lot of calls lately about old nailed-on roofs. That’s nothing new, we see it all the time. But the other day we got one that really stuck with me.


This building owner had a nailed-on roof that started leaking. Instead of calling in a professional, they brought in someone who promised to “fix it cheap.” His solution? Put screws in the roof.


Now here’s the kicker… he didn’t pull the old nails out and replace them properly. Nope. He just added screws right next to the nails.


Roof inspection

So now the roof has double the holes. The nails are still leaking. The screws are leaking too. And when it’s time to replace that roof, you’ve now got the extra headache of pulling out twice as much hardware. Twice the work. Twice the cost.


Think about that for a second. If it had been done right the first time, they could have saved themselves thousands of dollars and a whole lot of frustration. But because they went with the “cheap buddy” option, they’re now paying the price, and not just once, but twice.


Here’s the bigger lesson: when it comes to your roof, there’s no such thing as “cheap” repairs. You either pay to have it done right the first time… or you pay a whole lot more to fix the mess later.


So I’ll ask you this: Are you going to roll the dice and hope the quick, cheap fix works? Or are you going to call in a professional who knows how to do it right, the first time?
