FAQs
How do I know if I need a new roof or should I just repair it?
The most common type of roofs in the GTA are with 3 tab shingles. Their life span is typically between 12 to 17 years. If your roof is around 14 to 15 years old, it is about time to start thinking about replacing it. It is much better to get a new roof and fix the problem once and for all, instead of spending hundreds of dollars on roof repairs every year. We understand that sometimes it could be financially challenging to consider replacing the entire roof, especially when you have not planned for it in advance. We provide free inspections to guide you in making the best decision according to your needs.
One side of my roof looks bad, but others are still fine, why so, and What do I do?
It is a very common phenomenon for one side of the roof to deteriorate before others. The reason behind this is the exposure to the sun and/or the structure of the roof. Some roofs are built in a way that there is snow built up during the winter months in certain areas, which causes those areas to deteriorate faster. While the common sense would be to save money and just get the damaged side done for now, but we absolutely do not recommend that. The cost to replace one side may be comparatively low but you end up spending a lot more money by the time you get the whole roof done in the next two to three years. Moreover, the older side would never have the same color as the newer one and it affects the overall appearance of your house.
Why is that?
There are various factors to consider before comparing quotes from two different companies. The price may vary depending on factors such as the quality of the shingles, accessories used on the roof, quality of the workmanship etc. We advise you to be clear about what your needs are. You may not want to spend that much money on the roof if you are planning to sell it in the nearest future,or you may have just bought your dream house and you want to keep it long term. In that case you want the best possible roof you can get. Always do your due diligence before choosing a roofing company. Always remember to look at the track record of the company and make sure your roofing contractor would honour their warranty if things go sideways.
Does it make any difference to the quality of the roof?
Choosing the color for your roof is entirely your choice, it does not make any difference to the overall quality of the roof. However, it is believed that darker colors keep the house warmer during the summer time. We can not provide any scientific proof behind this notion. We advise you to look at our photo gallery to see different shingle color and brick combinations. Alternatively you may find a roof with similar color that you are trying to go with so that you have a better idea how it would look like once done. Shingle colors may look a little different in the pictures than actual shingles.
We have a semi house and our neighbors may not decide to get their roof done at the same time, what is the best thing to do?
While it is best to get the entire roof done at once for a semi house, neighbours do not always decide at the same time. In case your neighbors are not ready yet, there is nothing for you to worry about. We know how to tie both roofs together, so it is as good as it can be.
