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 in Ottawa 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 in Ottawa, our roofing contractors Ottawa’s 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 in Ottawa.

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

Cedar Shake Roofing

Cedar shake roofing will provide your home with a timeless rustic aesthetic. It is made from fragrant hardwood. Its strength and energy efficiency are two notable benefits. With proper maintenance, it can outlast asphalt shingles. However, therein lies a problem: cedar shakes require more (and regular) maintenance.

Benefits of Cedar Shakes

• environmentally friendly
• water-resistant
• excellent insulator
• elegant aesthetic

Downsides of Cedar Shakes

• high cost
• regular maintenance required
• potential supply delays

Synthetic Shingles

Roofing technology is constantly advancing, and synthetic shingle roofing is the newest option available. Synthetic shingles closely resemble wood shake or slate and provide a luxurious feel to the home, all the while keeping maintenance to a minimum. They are also more durable than most other options. The main downside of synthetic roofing is the cost. However, if you weigh these costs against their durability, synthetic shingles may be worth the while.

Benefits of synthetic shingles:

• extremely durable
• long lifespan (40-50 years)
• (almost) maintenance-free
• Upscale aesthetic

Downsides of synthetic shingles:

• high (initial) cost
