When it comes to roofing, everyone wants quality work at a fair price. But in the roofing industry, as with most things in life, you get what you pay for. If a roofing company offers you an unbelievably low price, it often comes with hidden risks—subpar materials, inexperienced installers, and costly repairs down the road.
At Halo Roofing Solutions, we believe in providing top-quality roofing at competitive prices—without cutting corners. In this post, we’ll break down why choosing the cheapest roofer can actually cost you more in the long run and what to look for when making your investment.
1. Cheap Materials Lead to Expensive Repairs
Low-cost roofers often use inferior materials that don’t stand up to Oregon’s unpredictable weather. While a cheap roof might look fine initially, poor-quality shingles and underlayment can fail within a few years—leading to leaks, mold growth, and structural damage.
💰 What this means for you:
You might save money upfront, but you’ll end up spending thousands more on frequent repairs and premature replacement.
A well-built roof with premium materials can last 25–50+ years, while a cheaply made roof might barely last a decade.
✔️ Pro Tip: Always ask your roofer about the brands and types of materials they use. High-quality shingles, underlayment, and ventilation are key to a durable roof.
2. Inexperienced Roofers = Poor Craftsmanship
Cheap roofing companies often hire unskilled or undertrained workers to cut costs. Roofing requires precision, and improper installation can cause:
🚫 Misaligned shingles that don’t properly seal
🚫 Poor flashing installation, leading to leaks around chimneys and vents
🚫 Incorrect nail placement, causing shingles to lift and blow off in storms
💰 What this means for you:
A cheaply installed roof may fail long before the manufacturer’s warranty is up.
You’ll likely have to pay another contractor to fix the mistakes.
Water damage repairs can be costly if leaks develop due to improper installation.
✔️ Pro Tip: Look for a roofer with certifications & experience. At Halo Roofing Solutions, our expert team ensures your roof is installed correctly the first time.
3. No Warranty? No Peace of Mind.
A reliable roofing contractor provides a solid warranty that covers both materials and labor. Cheap roofers? Not so much. Many low-budget roofing companies either don’t offer warranties or disappear before you can even use them.
💰 What this means for you:
If your roof fails, you’re stuck paying for repairs out of pocket.
Some cheap contractors offer “warranties” that are so limited they barely cover anything.
✔️ Pro Tip: Ask about the manufacturer’s warranty (which covers materials) and the workmanship warranty (which covers installation). A reputable roofer stands by their work.
4. Lowball Estimates Often Hide Extra Costs
If a roofing quote seems too good to be true, it probably is. Some contractors bait homeowners with a low estimate, only to tack on hidden costs later.
💰 What this means for you:
You might be hit with unexpected charges for necessary repairs they "forgot" to include.
Some low-cost roofers cut corners on essential components like underlayment and flashing—leaving you vulnerable to future damage.
✔️ Pro Tip: Get a detailed, written estimate from your roofer that outlines materials, labor, and potential costsupfront. At Halo Roofing Solutions, we provide transparent pricing with no surprises.
5. A Cheap Roof Hurts Your Home’s Value
Your home is one of your biggest investments—and your roof plays a major role in its curb appeal and resale value. A low-quality roof can:
🏠 Make your home look worn and unkempt
🏠 Lower your property’s appraisal value
🏠 Turn away potential buyers who don’t want to deal with future repairs
💰 What this means for you:
If you ever plan to sell, a cheaply built roof could hurt your home’s marketability.
A well-installed, high-quality roof adds significant value and attracts buyers.
✔️ Pro Tip: Invest in a roof that enhances your home’s beauty, durability, and energy efficiency—not just the cheapest option available.
