(EstateNewsWire.com, August 01, 2012 ) Port Huron, MI – A do-it-yourself roofing project can be a lot of work. At first glance it might seem a might daunting, but there is information available on the internet that can walk a homeowner through the steps. With a little elbow grease and some pre-planning, at least the tear-off portion of the old roof can be done by the homeowner and money can be saved. However, if one is not comfortable with heights or with do-it-yourself repairs, then it is best to leave roofing projects to the professionals.
A dumpster will be needed for disposal of the old shingles and the Dumpster Rental Port Huron website at http://www.dumpsterrentalporthuron.com/ suggests renting the dumpster at least 24 hours in advance and having the dumpster placed as close to the house as possible, keeping in mind that it will weigh about 10 tons when filled. Placing the dumpster in the yard might seem like a good idea at first, but the dumpster truck may leave ruts in the yard when delivering or picking up the dumpster. Most times, putting the dumpster in the driveway is the best thing to do.
The homeowner should get two estimates from a roofing contractor. One that includes the removal of the old shingles and one for just nailing down the new shingles. Sometimes contractors will go easy on the homeowner on the tear-off cost just to get the job. If this is the case, then let the contractor do all of the work. But when the estimates about a thousand dollars apart depending on the size of the roof, it may behoove the homeowner to tear off the old shingles their selves. If the quotes are within a couple of hundred dollars, then doing the work oneself may not be worth it.
If a homeowner decides to save a little money by doing the work their selves, before starting the tear-off, the Dumpster Rental Port Huron website suggests checking the local weather report. Make sure that no rain is in the forecast for the next several days. Once the old shingles are torn off, the roofing contractor will have to be available the next day to start laying down the new shingles. Friends and neighbors can be called upon to help if necessary. An average sized roof (about 40 squares) can be torn off in a day and then prepared for the new shingles to be nailed down the following day.
Placing a dumpster from Port Huron Dumpster Man in the correct spot for a roofing tear-off is crucial. If the ground is soft, the dumpster could possibly sink into the ground by a few inches and the roll-off truck will have trouble not tearing up the yard. So, it is best to place the dumpster in the driveway. One may have to handle the material more than once, but in the long run, it will be better than tearing up one’s yard.
Generally a 20-yard dumpster is the largest dumpster available for a roofing tear-off project because of the weight of the old shingles. The dumpster’s weight will be around 10 tons when full, which is about all the weight that a hauler can carry legally depending on how many axles the truck contains.

DIY roofing projects may not be for everyone. One should always keep safety in mind. Any time one works more than 6 feet off of the ground, special care should be taken. If one is not experienced in do-it-yourself carpentry projects, then it is best to leave the work to the professionals. If one is up to the task, however, do-it-yourselfers can safe a substantial amount of money on home roofing projects.
