What You Need to Know About Roof Installation in Etobicoke

What is the Process of a New Roof Installation

Every new roof installation begins with a detailed assessment and planning. Here’s what you can expect throughout your new roofing journey.

1. Initial Consultation – Detailed consultations ensure that the project suits your unique needs. We will talk to you about your project goals, inspect your current roof, and step you through your material options. We will prepare a quote based on your specifications.
2. Permits – We will secure the necessary building permits. Our work follows the Ontario Building Code and all relevant local regulations.
3. Site Preparation and Safety – We protect your property with tarps and other equipment. We implement and strictly follow safety protocols, and we will have a debris bin on-site for efficient cleanup.
4. Old Roof Removal – Our roofers tear down the old roofing system.
5. Deck Inspection – We inspect the roof deck to identify any damage and perform repairs, creating a stable and watertight foundation for your new roof.
6. New Roofing Installation – Experienced roofers install a new underlayment, ice and water shield, new roofing materials, and flashing.
7. Roof Vent Installation – We will optimize attic ventilation to ensure an energy-efficient home. The roof vent installation also prevents ice damming (common in Etobicoke’s climate).
8. Cleanup and Final Inspection – We meticulously clean the worksite, remove all debris, and perform a comprehensive inspection. We will walk you through the new installation to ensure you are satisfied with the project.

Our Etobicoke roof installations are professionally managed to ensure efficiency and quality at every step.

What is the Cheapest Option for Reliable Roofing ?

Asphalt shingles are the most affordable option for reliable roofing.

• Upfront material and installation costs are lower than those of metal, slate, and other roofing types.
• Asphalt shingles are available in a broad range of colours and styles, including architectural shingles that add dimension and character.
• The installation is straightforward, helping to minimize labour costs.

Asphalt shingles can last up to 30 years with regular maintenance.

How Long Does Roofing Installation Take?

The average roofing installation in Etobicoke can take from 1 to 5 days, depending on the project:

• We install asphalt shingles in 1 – 3 days for an average-sized home.
• Smaller roofs with basic pitch have the shortest installation time.
• Larger homes (multi-story with a steep pitch and architectural elements) can take longer, usually up to 5 days depending on the size of the house.
• The installation could take longer than 5 days if your roof deck needs extensive repairs.

We will offer a project completion estimate during the initial roofing installation consultation.

When to Reroof My House

You will need to reroof your house when it approaches its replacement age, or whenever there’s significant deterioration or damage.

• Age of Your Roof – Consider replacing an asphalt roof when it is over 20 years old. Metal roofing can last 40 to 70 years, while slate roofing could last more than 75 years.
• Damage – Problems like curling, cracked shingles, and missing shingles indicate damage and deterioration.
• Granule Loss – If it appears that your shingles are losing granules (the gritty textured surface), then it’s likely time to replace them.
• Water Damage – If you have water stains on ceilings or walls, then your roofing system may be seriously damaged.
• Sagging and Drooping – Evaluate your roof from the curbside and look for any sagging sections. This suggests that the roof is failing and could be at risk of causing catastrophic damage.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Roof?

You won’t always need a new roof when you find damage. Repairs may be more economical and practical. Our initial inspection will determine the best approach.

Our roofers will consider:

• The cost of repair vs replacement.
• The age of your roof.
• Your long-term goals for your home.

We offer detailed inspections and consultations. We are transparent about all costs and the condition of your roof. We are committed to helping you make a decision that is financially viable and good for your home. If a roofing repair is the better option, we won’t hesitate to tell you that. You don’t need to worry about pushy upselling when you call our team.
