Trusted Roof Repair & Installation Contractors in Brockville, ON

A leak does not necessarily mean you need to replace your roof. If your roof is still in good shape, repairing the leak should fix your problem. If the roof is in poor shape, than having the leak repaired could cause more damage/problems than it is solving. In this instance, replacing the roof might be the best option for you.

The life of the roof truly depends on the brand/type of shingle used and the workmanship. Some homeowners can get 25-30 years out of their roof, while others need a new one after 15-20 years. It is best to have an inspection of your roof done if you are not sure how many more years it will last you.

A roofing estimate should include all material and labour costs. Material includes: shingles; ice and water shield; underlayment; vents; wall metal, flashing and valley(s) (if needed); and, plumbing flange(s). You should receive information on the warranty for the shingles that would be installed, as well as the workmanship. NOTE: if a company is not providing at least a 10-15 year workmanship warranty you should be asking them about it.

Our recommendation is to look for a company where the owner has substantive roofing experience. If the owner of the company does not have experience working on the roof themselves, it is unlikely that they would know what to look for when hiring a roofing crew and inspecting completed jobs. All company owners should be inspecting completed roofs, this is something you can ask about in advance. NOTE: it is best to work with roofing companies that have small crews, as it is harder to ensure quality control with bigger crews and higher staff turnover.

It is best to pick the colour that you prefer to complement the exterior of your home. The colour of your shingles does not impact its overall longevity.
