Most Asked Questions by Our Customers

How do I know it is time to replace my roof?

There are several signs it is time to replace your roof. The age of your roof is a significant factor in determining whether it needs replacement. Inspect your roof for any curling, buckling, or clawing shingles. This is often a sign of weathering and indicates that your roof is reaching the end of its useful life. If you notice missing or damaged shingles, it's a clear indication that your roof needs attention. Water leaks or stains in your attic or ceiling are strong indicators of roof damage.

How much does a residential roof replacement cost?

The cost of a residential roof replacement in Canada can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the roof, the type of roofing material, the complexity of the installation, and the region you're located in. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 or more for a roof replacement. We offer extremely competitive quotes for any type of roof material you wish to replace with.

What is the best roofing material for Canadian homes?

The best roofing material for Canadian homes depends on various factors such as climate, budget, and personal preferences. In Canada, popular roofing materials include asphalt shingles, metal roofing, cedar shakes, and synthetic materials like synthetic slate or rubber. Asphalt shingles are the most common choice due to their affordability, durability, and suitability for Canadian weather conditions.

How long does a residential roof replacement take?

The duration of a residential roof replacement project can vary depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the roof, weather conditions, and the availability of roofing contractors. In general, a roof replacement can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks to complete. Factors such as the removal of the existing roof, installation of new materials, and any necessary repairs or adjustments contribute to the overall timeline.

Can I replace my roof in the winter?

While it's possible to replace a roof during the winter in Canada, it presents additional challenges due to cold temperatures, ice, and snow. However, professional roofing contractors with experience in winter installations can still complete the job effectively. They will take necessary precautions to ensure the materials adhere properly and have strategies in place to address weather-related issues.

Do I need a building permit for a roof replacement?

The requirement for a building permit for a roof replacement varies depending on the region and local building codes. In many cases, a permit is not required for a simple roof replacement where the structure of the roof remains unchanged. We can assist you in obtaining the required permits if needed. It's important to comply with local regulations to ensure the replacement is done correctly and meets all safety standards.
