Based on how close your roof is to the end of its expected lifespan, we can make the following suggestions on when to repair versus when to replace your roof.

When to Repair your Roof:

If you are experiencing a first, or even second leak in your roof.
If you see water spots on a ceiling tile.
If there is a leak after a rain that is limited to an easily identifiable area.
When you can see an area where a shingle or a few shingles are missing.
Recent high winds have caused minor visual damage.
Your financial situation necessitates repair over replacement.

When to Replace your Roof

If the most recent leak is the latest of many recent leaks.
If you are seeing water stains on ceiling tiles in multiple areas or rooms.
If the leaks seem to be over a widespread area.
If you lose shingles or roofing materials after high winds.
If shingles have curling corners and don’t seem to be lying flat.
If roofing materials appear to be chipped, cracked or have pieces broken off.
If storm damage makes it possible the cost will be covered by insurance.
If you want to add curb appeal and value to your home.

Your roof has an important job to do to keep your home dry, but it can also be an impressive home feature.

Stone-Coated

Our stone coated steel roofing system is available in a wide range of styles including Tile, Shake, Slate, and Shingle, and in a variety of colors. We’ll help you to choose one that will fit your home’s style and your budget.

Shingles

As the most-used roofing type across North America, asphalt strikes a balance between price and durability, with a life expectancy of up to 20. Shingles are available for those who want affordable, genuine slate roofing.

Tiles

Tile roofs offer unparalleled value when cost per year of use is factored in. While upfront costs are higher, customers who choose a clay or concrete tile roof will enjoy the aesthetics and quality for a lifetime.

Metal

Metal roofs today come in a wide array of colors and finishes. Innovations in metal roofing technology have significantly enhanced the performance of metal roofs.

TPO Membrane

TPO can be installed to any scale with some of the world’s largest building utilizing TPO roofing systems – it comes in strips typically 8ft 10ft and 12ft wide that are heat welded on site.
