Before an aging roof leaves your home vulnerable to water damage, consider roof replacement. This home improvement project offers lasting weather protection for your home while helping with energy efficiency. As you start your project, let Crown Roofing LTD , your premier roof experts in Vancouver, guide you with these tips.
1. Choose a Roofing Material
You want a roof material that is both durable and attractive. Considering our weather patterns ensures that your New Westminster roofing can provide lasting defense against extreme weather conditions. For instance, metal roofing is an excellent choice in wet climates because it will not deteriorate. If you prefer a roofing material that can endure the longest in any weather condition, choose slate.
2. Hire a Reliable Contractor
One of the most essential things to consider for roof replacement is your contractor. Choose a local contractor for your project. You can usually verify if the business is legitimate if they have a tax identification number, a physical business address and a website. You can confirm their manufacturer designations, like GAF’s Master Elite® certification. In addition, ask your contractor for proof of insurance, including worker’s compensation and liability coverage.
3. Get a Contract
Before allowing work to begin on your roof, get a written contract. This should include the timeline for the project, materials used, cost and clean-up methods. If your contractor needs to make any changes to the plan, put it in the agreement that they contact you first. This prevents unwelcome surprises during the project.
4. Prepare Your Home
Expect your roof replacement to be noisy. The hammering involved with roof installation can knock things off your walls, so remove important belongings prior to the start of the project. If you’re worried about the noise, it may be a good idea to be out of the house while the project is ongoing.
