    There are some simple and apparent roof problems like small leaks that can be solved by homeowners without the assistance of a roofing contractor. But in complex roof problems that require roof replacement or installation, the services of a roofing contractor is necessary. These things require expertise and skills. You can be better assured of the outcome of the roof installation or repair if it is done by an expert.
