Reroofing your home yourself can be dangerous
If you are thinking about reroofing your Atlanta home then you need to be careful about falling and hurting yourself. I just ran across this news report about a man in East Bridgewater that fell off a roof he was working on.
The news article goes on to say:
“A 40-year-old East Bridgewater man re-roofing a home on Sunday morning at 19 Pleasant Ave in East Bridgewater, fell about 15 feet from th e roof of that home, just before 10 o’clock in the morning.”
Now 15 feet doesn’t sound far to fall until you are the one falling! Even worse many of the homes in Atlanta have steep roofs and are built on a slope with a 25-35 foot tall drop.
The article continues, “Fire Lieutenant David Repeta says the un-identified man fell, and likely suffering extremity fractures and multi-trauma. He was taken to Boston Medical Center.”
Now you know why it is important to get a professional Georgia roofing company to help you to reroof your home. Don’t forget to check out their liability and workers comp insurance. If they don’t have it and they get hurt… you will be sued to pay the bills.
