ROOF REPLACEMENT

​

Types of Roofing Materials

​

One of the most important decisions you will have to make when replacing your roof is what type of material to use. There are many types of roofing materials available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Here are some of the most common ones:

​

• Slate or tile roofs: Slate or tile roofs are made of natural stone or clay. They are elegant, durable, fire-resistant, and low-maintenance. They can also last for centuries if properly installed and cared for. However, they are also very expensive, heavy, and require special installation and framing.

​

• Metal roofs: Metal roofs are made of steel, aluminium, copper, or zinc alloy. They are durable, lightweight, fire-resistant, and energy-efficient. They can also withstand harsh weather conditions and reflect solar heat. However, they are also more expensive than other materials, require professional installation, and can be noisy during rain or hail storms.

​

Steps Involved in Hiring a Professional Roofing Contractor

​

Replacing your roof is not a DIY project. It requires skill, experience, and safety precautions that only a professional roofing contractor can provide. Here are some steps involved in hiring a professional roofing contractor:

​

• Do your research: Before you hire a roofing contractor, you should do some research on their reputation, credentials, and portfolio. You can check online reviews, ask for referrals, verify their license and insurance, and look at their previous work. 

​

• Ask questions: Once you have narrowed down your list of potential contractors, you should ask them some questions to ensure they are qualified and trustworthy. Some of the questions you should ask are:​​

  • How long will the project take and what are the possible delays or complications?

  • What are the terms and conditions of the contract and warranty?

  • How do you handle payments and deposits?

  • How do you dispose of the old roofing materials and debris?

  • How do you protect my property and landscaping during the project?

  • Who will supervise the project and who can I contact in case of any issues or concerns?

​

• What type of roofing materials do you use and recommend?

• How long have you been in business?

• Review the contract: Before you sign the contract, you should review it carefully and make sure it includes everything you agreed upon with the contractor. The contract should include:

  • The contractor’s name, address, phone number, and license number

  • The scope of work, materials, labour, and timeline of the project

  • The total cost, payment schedule, and method of payment

  • The warranty details, including the coverage, duration, and limitations

  • The contractor’s liability and workers’ compensation insurance

  • The contractor’s cancellation policy and dispute resolution process

  • Any other terms and conditions that apply to the project

​

• Prepare for the project: Once you have signed the contract, you should prepare for the project by:

  • Informing your neighbours about the project and asking for their cooperation

  • Clearing the area around your home of any obstacles or valuables that could be damaged by falling debris

  • Covering your furniture, appliances, and electronics inside your home to protect them from dust and dirt

  • Providing access to electricity and water for the contractor’s tools and equipment

  • Staying away from the work area and keeping children and pets safe
