Why You Need a Specialized Roofer for your Church Roof Replacement Project

If you are in the market for a church roof replacement, then you probably are involved with taking care of the Lord’s home, we tip our hats to you. Caring for the needs of any congregation can be a tiresome and thankless job, so if you’ve undertaken it, good for you, you are incredible! 

If you are even considering getting involved with a roofer that does not specialize in church roofs, let me stop you right there. In this article, you will learn why you absolutely must be using a roofer who has extensive experience with church roof replacements!

Have you ever heard of storm chasers? These are “roofers” that appear when you are searching for a company to complete a roofing job, let’s say a church roof replacement. You hire them because they have unbeatable prices. They do a terrible job on the roof if they even finish it at all, and then your roof starts having issues right away. They then skip town and disappear, and you have no recourse because they never really existed in the first place. The reason why church jobs are especially susceptible to these types of scams is because of the significant cost associated with your church roof replacement. 

Okay, so you are shaking your head saying, calm down, I am speaking to a roofer right now who not only has been doing roofs for twenty-five years but is also a major pillar of our church! This roofer has generations of children in the church, and all of their kids were married in the church and even have grandchildren attending the church now! A person like this would never do anything to hurt the church! We agree this person sounds like a wonderful and cherished member of your church. That said, if that congregant doesn’t have church roof replacement experience and success, you cannot trust them to undertake a project like this. It is irresponsible to expose them to that kind of risk. 

Keep in mind church roofs are not like many other commercial and residential roof replacement projects. A church roof can have many complicated aspects that do not come up in other roofing jobs. Church roofs usually have sharp angles and other special features like steeples and parapets which can make repairs difficult for roofers that don’t have specialized experience.
