In Arizona, foam roofs have become increasingly common thanks to their ability to reduce energy expenses and keep the interior of homes more comfortable. They’re also incredibly durable and offer better longevity than most traditional roofs. If this is something you’re thinking about investing in because all that it offers, you’ll find that both do-it-yourself (DIY) and professional installation are options. However, at Foam Experts Roofing, we urge most everyday homeowners against DIY installation for the following reasons:
1. Expected Difficulty
While foam roofs might look like they’re easy to install thanks to the spray guns available today, that’s not always the case. While these spray guns are incredibly useful and make application easier, the work itself is still complex. To do things properly, it takes experience and the knowledge of the proper steps of installation.
2. Ability to Troubleshoot
When homeowners who install their own spray roofs run into problems, most don’t have the experience needed to overcome them. Unfortunately, this often results in spending more time on the project and, for some, having to let a professional take over.
3. Physical Stress
Installing a foam roof can take a toll on the body, especially for those who aren’t used to holding their arms up for long periods of time. Since professionals do this often, they’re capable of handling the physical difficulties without any issue.
4. Risk of Wasting Money
When homeowners attempt to install their own foam roof but aren’t able to finish the job for any reason, they end up wasting quite a bit of money on supplies. When you add in the cost of a high quality foam spray gun, it makes the cost of hiring a professional well worth it.
5. Spending More time Than Anticipated
Although professionals make installing foam roofs look easy because of their training and experience, it is a job with a lot of complexities. This is why it will take most homeowners double or even triple the amount of time it takes a pro to do the job. Unfortunately, even those who spend a lot of time and pay attention to details aren’t guaranteed to have professional quality results.
