This course is designed to save you time and money on the one thing that keeps you dry from the elements.

Most homeowners when having a roof leak simply call the contractor. It seems like most contractors regardless of the condition of the roof will tell you you need a new one. You must inform yourself on what is needed, how much materials will cost, and discuss in detail how the contractor will proceed. Don't forget liability insurance and warranties.
