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.

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?

That’s why we offer our 51-Point Roof Maintenance Inspection. It’s a complete top-to-bottom evaluation of your roof. We’ll find the issues before they become leaks, damage, or costly replacements. It’s the smart, professional way to protect your building—and your wallet.
Call the office today at 844-503-6099 to schedule your inspection.
Don’t wait until the next storm to find out the hard way that your “fix” isn’t fixed at all.
Remember, a roof problem doesn’t get better with time. It only gets worse—and more expensive.
