Whenever you make a decision, it is either going to be more logical or emotional. As you may remember from psychology, the left side of the brain leans more towards logic and understanding while the right side of the brain is more focused on creativity and emotion. Whenever it comes to deciding on how to move forward on your roofing project, you must divoce from your emotion and pursue logic.
This is much easier said than done. Any large purchase, like a roof, tends to initially pull on the right side of your brain (a.k.a your emotions) rather than the left side of your brain (a.k.a your logic). While difficult to do, you must focus on facts and figures over anything else when it deals with your roofing project.
Your Left Brain & Right Brain Affect Your Roofing Project
Take this scenario into consideration. The holidays are right around the corner. You have invited your whole family over and begin to decorate. Then, you see it. Water damage is on the ceiling and wall of your guest room. You go outside and see your roof needs repairs fast.
Unscrupulous roofing contractors know that unexpected roofing project costs can cause homeowners to think and make rash decisions. They will play on your emotions and focus on getting the highest profit margin possible. They will not worry about doing the best job for your home’s roof because they know you need the repair or replacement as soon as possible.
Now, let’s slightly chance the scenario. The holidays are still right around the corner, but you hold off on finalizing plans with your family. You let them know you need a moment to check out the house and ensure everything is in working order. You see the same water damage and repairs that are needed on your roof. You let your family know it might be best to do the holidays at their home again this year.
The same unscrupulous roofing contractor will be unable to play on your emotions because you are not invested in having an amazing holiday dinner at your home. Instead, you are logical and rational because you know you do not have additional stress on the timeline of getting the repairs. You can shop around and find the best roofing contractors in the area.
The same time, care, and attention you would put into the second scenario needs to be what you would do in any scenario. Whenever your right brain takes control of your decisions, you are no longer focused on logic. Your emotions will allow you to look past red flags and small details. This can allow you to make impulsive decisions that are incredibly costly a few years down the road. You must train yourself to always take a step back and allow your left brain to take.
We Guide Your Through the Logic of Your Roofing Project
We understand that some roofing projects are planned. In fact, most of the time roof repairs and full roof replacements are not a project homeowners expected to take on this year. However, that doesn’t mean that your right brain needs to take control and make impulsive choices. Your left brain should always analyze the information provided by roofing contractors and make the best, most logical choice.
