Yesterday, a neighbor's homemade chimney repair almost started a blaze.

My cousin in Ohio tried to patch his own flashing last fall with some roofing tar and a prayer. It held for about a month before we saw smoke curling out from under his siding. It cost him nearly three grand to have a pro fix the mess, which was way more than just hiring someone in the first place. Some jobs really do need a licensed person with the right tools. It's scary how fast a small DIY mistake can turn into a major emergency.

My neighbor's duct tape fix melted in July.
