We have found that many customers in the Lower Mainland who call us to replace their roofs are pleasantly surprised when we tell them a repair will be just as effective, at a lower cost. However, sometimes replacement is the best option. Some roofs have reached the end of their designed lives and the best option is replacement with a new roof system.

Roofing system failure can be caused by a number of factors; including age, severe weather, poor workmanship, defective materials, improper specification of roofing materials, abuse and failure to adequately maintain the roof.

You should re-roof your Vancouver home only when all repair and restoration alternatives are deemed incapable of bringing a roof back to serviceable condition, or at your own discretion.

Some questions to ask:

How old is your roof? If your roof system is older then 20 years you might want to consider a new roof system rather than repairing your existing system.
How many areas in your roof system leak?
If the shingles on your roof are excessively curled or buckled they are probably starting to fail.
Are you happy with the look of your roof system?
What is your financial situation?
Can you make do with repairs now and budget for a new roof system later?
Does your roof have two or more layers? (If more than two layers you might have to replace it because of building codes.)
Is your insulation level adequate? (Achieving its full R-Value )
Has your decking become rotted from long term leaking? (Replacing rotted decking gives the structure more strength.)

Making a decision between repair or replacement on your own can be difficult. Contact a professional roofing contractor in Vancouver for advice and an inspection. A qualified roofer will be able to identify existing or potential problems and offer solutions that will keep your home protected for many years to come.
