Safety Tips For DIY Roofing Safety tips you need to know before you attempt any roofing project Today we will talk about things you must and mustn't do if you ever decide to do some DIY roofing. No

matter how big or small your roofing project might be, there are some things you should look out for.

In this article, I will talk about dangers and safety of DIY roofing.

Footwear One past client had nearly lost his life couple of years ago when his slipped on his 30-foot steep roofing

system while he was trying to perform simple roof repair task while wearing your everyday shoes.

Tennis and hiking shoes are not safe enough for the job because you can slip at any given moment.

What you need are the pair of work boots with rubber sole. With the type of shoes, you will have the

best grip, and you will significantly reduce chances of slipping and falling off your roof. Go to any

hardware store and ask them do they have any non-slip work boots.

Ladders Always check your ladders! Just like your shoes, ladders are essential when it comes to roofing. You

will use ladders to reach your roofing system, and that is why it is important that your ladders are

functional and safe. Always place your ladders on an even surface and buy ladder stakes and roof

anchors. You can buy them at most of the hardware stores. Roof anchors will allow you to fasten your

ladders to your roof rafter. This way your ladders will be secured in place, and you won't have to worry

about ladders slipping or falling.

Weather Weather is probably the most important factor in this category. Always make sure that the weather

will be clear on the day you plan your roofing project. If there was a recent rain, make sure that your

roofing material is dry because, when wet, the roof can be a death trap. What you want is a shiny and

bright day without too much sun. Always remember to check your local weather forecast before

starting a DIY roofing project

Inform yourself I understand that most of home and business owners are trying to save some money by not paying for

things they can do themselves. That is completely normal; that is if a person knows what they are

doing. If your roof needs repairs and yu are not sure if you can perform them, call a professional. If you

don't have required skill or knowledge, then your can do more harm than good to your roof. A roofing

professional can quickly take care of any problem your roof might have, and it will save you money in

the long run.
