FROM INSPECTION TO FOLLOW-UP

Our Ottawa Roof Repair Process

We guarantee that the job at hand will be handled in a professional manner by our team of experts, from the initial inspection to our wave goodbye. Here is how our process works:

Listening First

We understand that we provide a service for you – and much like any other service, we want (and need) to understand your concerns first. Therefore, our team will begin any project by asking you a few questions to better understand the nature of the issue. Roof problems are not always obvious, so it is important to gather as much information as possible.

Deep Diagnostics

After our team has gathered enough information to understand the basic issue, they will go and conduct a visual roof inspection. However, a roof inspection alone may not be sufficient in all cases. It might be necessary to check the attic as well. Sometimes, we might also need to use thermal cameras or other advanced tools to accurately identify the root of the issue. There might even be a need for a water test. In the end though, we will find out where the problem lies – whatever it takes.

Consultation

Once our team has identified the problem, our project manager will determine whether a roof repair is a good investment for you. Considerations that influence his decision, among others, are:

the age of your roof
the condition of your roof
an estimate of repair costs

Based on these, our project manager will recommend a course of action to you. The final decision though will obviously always lie with you.

Repair Service

After the decision has been reached to go ahead with the roof repair, our roofing contractors team will go to work. If the problem is minor in nature, our team may be able to repair your roof on the spot. For larger repairs, a separate service appointment will need to be scheduled.

Post-Repair Customer Care

We commit to making sure the repairs are done correctly and the roof problem is fixed as expected.

Therefore, once our work is done, we will walk you through our repair work again and answer any remaining questions or concerns. We stand behind our work and have a robust limited warranty.

Choosing the right Roof Style

Not all roofs are created equal. There is a variety of roof styles to choose from and it is important to make sure you are not only satisfied with the result aesthetically but are also aware of what might be the best fit for your house and why. Here are some roof styles and their benefits, as well as downsides.

Asphalt Roof Shingles

Asphalt roof shingles are one of the most popular roofing options because they are low maintenance and affordable. At the same time, they are highly customizable as they are available in hundreds of styles and colours. On the other hand, their lifespan of 20-50 years is relatively short compared with other options and they are more susceptible to damage caused by high winds and may require more frequent roof repairs.

Benefits of asphalt shingles:

value
low maintenance
variety of colours and styles

Downsides of asphalt shingles:

comparably short lifespan (20-50 years)
comparably low energy efficiency
comparably susceptible to severe weather damage

Frequently Asked Questions

What Causes Damage To A Roof?

Countless factors can cause damage to your roof or contribute to regular wear and tear. Obviously, severe weather is one-factor – hail or high winds can break or tear off shingles. If you have darker shingles, a high UV index can cause those to lose their colour faster than lighter shingles. Another factor can be animals: raccoons or squirrels can set up their nests in attics. In the process of entering, they can cause damage to your roof as well.

How Long Does A Roof Usually Last?

That really depends on what kind of roof you have as they have different lifespans. Rubber shingles have the shortest lifespan at 10-15 years. Metal shingles, concrete tile, and cedar shingles last somewhere between 30 to 50 years. But there are other factors that can contribute to the wear and tear of a roof that is out of your control, such as the weather.

How Much Does A Roof Repair Ottawa Cost?

That depends on the kind of damage you are looking at. We definitely recommend getting a quote from a few reputable roofing contractors to get a ballpark number. You should base your decision on which roofing contractor to go with on the severity of the damage and the timeline that suits your need, the price, and the reviews and reputation of the roofing contractor Ottawa.

Is It Better To Repair Or Replace My Roof?

That depends on the age of the roof, your budget, and/or the severity of the damage to it. If you are looking to replace your roof in the near future anyway, it may make sense to hold off on minor repairs or go ahead with the replacement sooner than anticipated. If your new roof suffers severe damage, it may be better to just go ahead with roof repairs in Ottawa instead of investing in another roof. Make sure to consult with several different roofing contractors whenever you face the question of whether to repair or replace your entire roof.

How Often Should I Have My Roof Inspected?

Ideally, you will have your roof inspected twice a year: once in the spring and once in the fall. That way, you ensure that your roof is winter-proof and can repair any potential damage resulting from winter in the spring. The other benefit of regular roof inspections is that you detect smaller issues right away and prevent them from becoming bigger problems in the future.
