Hey fellow homeowners, I wanted to share my concerns about the roof replacement process. I'm honestly a bit paranoid about having to replace my roof soon. With COVID affecting material quality and workmanship, I can't shake the feeling that the new roof won't be as good as the one I currently have—unless, of course, it starts leaking. I've been putting off the replacement even though I know my roof is getting old. I also feel uneasy about newer homes since everyone seems to be cutting corners nowadays. Am I alone in feeling this way?

I just replaced my roof earlier this year, and I spent a good amount of time researching beforehand. I found a reputable company that really stood out for both quality and pricing. The installation went smoothly, which was a relief. Just make sure you choose wisely; not all companies are created equal!
If you're set on getting quality, I recommend starting early. Don't wait for leaks to appear! It's a lot more than just the roof you could end up needing to replace. Look for a solid contractor who's been around for a while, especially since those who started during or just after 2020 might be a bigger risk. And don’t go for the cheapest option—quality materials are vital!
You're definitely not alone! It's so frustrating feeling like you have to be an expert just to avoid being scammed when dealing with home repairs. The market for home improvement has been rough lately, and it's tricky to find someone trustworthy without doing extensive research.
