Can I Replace My Own Roof? 

There is no law against it. But don't just replace your own roof without first checking a few resources. 

As a professional roofing contractor, we do not discourage homeowners wanting to install their shed or a simple one-story garage. But when it comes to a two-story building or a complicated roof, we recommend letting a roofing contractor handle the task instead.
