A verified professional will get in touch.
Most people are not sure which one they need yet. A roofer can tell you after looking.
Finding where water gets in and fixing it. A stain on the ceiling is often far from the source.
Replacing damaged or missing pieces and sealing around chimneys, vents and edges.
Removing the old covering and fitting a new one. A bigger project with a longer life.
Membrane roofs on extensions, garages and flat-roofed homes.
Insulation, ventilation and underlayment that stop ice damming and heat loss.
The parts around the roof that decide how long the roof lasts.
A roof near the end of its life is often better replaced than repaired again and again.
One damaged area can be repaired. Damage across much of the roof usually cannot.
Fixing the same area again and again suggests a bigger problem underneath.
Rotted decking or wet insulation change what a repair can achieve.
Selling soon, or staying for years, can change which option makes sense.
Asphalt, metal, cedar and flat roofing age and fail in different ways.
Ask for the licence where required, proof of liability insurance and a workers' compensation clearance, and check them yourself.
Materials, labour, safe access, removal of the old roof, disposal and clean-up, itemized in writing.
Know what is going on your roof, and what warranty comes with the work and the materials.
And who arranges it.
Be cautious of large payments upfront. Agree stages tied to progress.
Decking under the old roof can be damaged. Ask how extra work is priced and approved.
We'd rather connect you with the right provider once than flood your inbox with a dozen you'll never call back.
A roof is one of the biggest repairs on a home. You get a conversation and an explanation before any commitment.
A leak repair, a re-roof and storm damage are different jobs. You hear from a roofer who handles the one you described.
You can ask questions and compare, and nobody pushes you to decide on the spot.
It depends on the age and material of the roof and how widespread the damage is. A roofer who inspects it can tell you. Ask them to show you what they found, with photos, rather than only describe it.
It varies with the size and pitch of the roof, the material and where you live. Namoye doesn't set prices. Ask for a written quote that lists materials, labour, safe access, removal of the old roof, disposal and clean-up.
Asphalt shingles are the most common, and metal, cedar, slate, flat membrane roofing and others are also used. They differ in lifespan, cost and how well they handle snow, ice and heat, so ask the roofer why they recommend one for your home.
Ice dams form when heat escaping from your attic melts snow that refreezes at the eaves, and they can force water under shingles. Good insulation, ventilation and the right underlayment help prevent them. Ask the roofer how they would address your attic as well as the shingles.
If water is coming in, protect your belongings and, if it's safe, ask for temporary repairs such as tarping. Take photos of the damage and contact your insurer before arranging permanent repairs. Send a request here and mark it urgent.
Sometimes. Home insurance can cover damage from a storm or hail, for example, but it usually doesn't cover wear and tear or gradual deterioration. Check your policy and speak to your insurer before work starts. The insurer decides on the claim.
Yes. Don't agree to work or pay on the doorstep, especially after bad weather. Ask for their licence, insurance and workers' compensation clearance, get a written quote, and check references. Provincial consumer protection laws give you cancellation rights for many agreements made at your door, and a reputable roofer won't rush you.
It depends on the province and municipality. Some places require roofing contractors to be licensed, and a re-roof may need a building permit. In Quebec, roofing contractors generally need a licence from the Régie du bâtiment. Ask the roofer what applies and who arranges it.
Roofing is dangerous work. Reputable roofers carry liability insurance and are registered with the provincial workers' compensation board, such as WSIB in Ontario or WorkSafeBC. Without it, you could be liable if a worker is hurt on your property. Ask for a current clearance certificate.
Some older roofing and siding materials contain asbestos, particularly in homes built before the 1980s. Don't break, drill or pressure wash them. Tell the roofer if your roof is old, and ask how they would handle it, because disposal rules apply.
A repair can be quick. A full replacement often takes a few days, depending on the size of the roof and the weather, and many roofers work only in suitable weather. Ask for a realistic schedule.
What you've noticed, such as leaks or missing shingles, the roof's approximate age and material if you know them, and your postal code. Photos help if the roofer asks.
