FAQs
Can roofing shingles be recycled?
Yes, roofing shingles can be recycled. Recycling shingles helps reduce waste in landfills and can also provide materials for new products such as asphalt pavement. Wiebe's Roofing recycles 100% of asphalt materials, this includes the existing shingles we replace.
How do I find where a leak is coming from?
So, you've noticed moisture on your ceiling. The next step would be to contact a qualified roofing company to assist you with this issue. Unless you have experience in roofing and attic work, trying to DIY your way through a leaking roof can cause issues to snowball. We speak for all roofers when we say; "Please stay away from ruberised sprays". These create a mess and are an extreamly short term fix when they do work.
Can I install a new roof over an existing roof?
It's possible, but it's generally not recommended as it voids warranties and leads to future issues. This is a big "no-no" in the roofing industry. Doing so violates building codes, dramatically decreases the lifespan of your new shingles, and the extra weight may even compromise your roof structure. This is a service we do not provide.
How long do roofing shingles last?
Roofing shingles can last anywhere from 15 to 50 years, depending on the type of shingle and the local climate. Asphalt shingles, which are common in Regina, typically last between 15 to 30 years. 3 tab style shingles usually last around 15 years if the roof is well-ventilated. While newer architectual shingles last closer to 30 years, depending on material quality.
Does the shingle colour effect the shingle lifespan?
Yes, the colour of roofing shingles can affect their lifespan, but the impact is more indirect. Darker-coloured shingles tend to absorb more heat from the sun, which can lead to higher temperatures on the roof surface. This increased heat exposure can accelerate the aging process of the shingles, potentially reducing their lifespan compared to lighter-coloured shingles. However, factors such as shingle quality, proper installation, and roof ventilation play a more significant role in determining the lifespan of roofing shingles.
