Roofing Companies are not all built the same

Positive Things To Look For

A good roofing contractor will come with an estimate sheet which will outline the job expenses, timelines and possible items that could affect the project.

Almost all roofing contractors will require some sort of deposit. The amount usually covers the amount of materials the contractor will order to get started. You could be asked to pay in installments or when the job is completed. Ask the contractor about your payment options.

Check online reviews from Google to see if they are in good standing and recommended by previous customers.

Good roofing contractors will have a copy of their insurance, liability and WSIB on hand for you to view.

Red Flags

Verbal quote with no documentation. Even the best of contractors will need to have estimate and quotes for reference.

Contractor asks for payment in cash. There really is no benefit to a contractor asking for full payment in cash unless they are uninsured or want to dodge taxes. Both scenarios are unprofessional and leave room for questions.

No online foot print. Nowadays almost every small business has embraced some platform or another to help potential customers find them. If you cannot find anything on the contractor you are considering, call someone else or ask for references from previous customers if you still want to keep them in the running.

Roofing can dramatically increase your curb appeal however so will the other exterior components of your home. If you need interior or exterior painting services, consider Ingersoll Painting Services.

Roof Repair And Roof Replacement

There are 3 main signs that a roof is ready to be replaced. You can easily tell from the ground and walking around the exterior of your home. Look for roof shingles with off colouring and pay attention when cleaning the gutters. If roof shingle granules are falling off of your roof, you will find large amounts in the gutters. Missing granules will not cause water issues however the sun UV rays will be more exposed to the shingle and wear it out faster.

Curled roofing shingles are one of the easiest indicators of needing a roof repair. When shingles curl, it is a result of drying and shrinking over time. If the shingles are not replaced, they will blow away in wind storms and can lead to bigger problems. The only way to fix this issue is by replacing the area with curled shingles. If it is throughout the entire roof surface, it is time to replace the whole roof. Lastly, if you are missing shingles, its time for new ones.

Roof Replacement Considerations

If you're unsure if the previous homeowner asked the roofing installer to remove the shingles before installing new ones, it's best to let your contractor know before getting a quote. This makes the job more difficult and lengthy. Best practice is to always remove the previous shingles but sometimes price restraints and pop up roofing companies will do it for quick cash. Unfortunately this makes roofing services expensive and labour intensive the the next turn around.

When shingles are laid on top of other shingles, it removes any factory and installer Warranty. It could create warping and leaking from the previous damaged shingles. If you have a contractor saying this is not a problem, please make sure you have all communication in writing and explaining if Warranty will be affected. I would question the Professionalism and workmanship standards as this is not common practice and highly discouraged in the Industry.

One of the only circumstances for shingles to remain in place is when you are installing metal roofing over asphsalt shingles. If you find out your home has 2 or 3 layers of shingles, it would likely be worth considering obtaining a quote for a metal roof. The price of a new metal roof may be comparable to removing 2 to 3 layers of shingles and then installing new asphalt shingles.

As you can see, replacing your roof requires careful consideration of several factors, including the roofing material, cost, roof contractor, roofing design and timing. By taking these factors into account, you can ensure that you make an informed decision that meets your needs, budget and expectations.

Should I Hire a Roofing Company Before Selling?

The Ontario Real Estate market is competitive. You will want to create the "Wow factor" so Buyers have every reason to consider your home in their Top 3 favourites. Replacing an old, damaged roof will not only add instant curb appeal but also remove any fears of the home needing a lot of work before getting settled.

If you are unsure of when you plan to sell, it is a good idea to get the roof done now and know you are ready when the time comes. Roof installs are best handled in the Summer/Fall seasons. If you do not have it completed and decide to sell in the Winter, there's not much you can do about it.
