Old, brittle shingles or multiple layer rip-offs can seriously delay your completion time. -An inexperienced crew may leave a roof exposed to harmful elements. Without protective shingles, your house can easily suffer costly damages if rained on.
	-A typical single layer rip-off can weigh up to two tons depending on square footage. It can be even more if it is a double or triple layer rip. Disposing of such a great quantity of garbage can prove challenging with your friend’s quarter-ton.
