How Can I Tell That I Need a New Kelowna Roof? 

There are many reasons you may need a new roof. Leaking roofs are the most obvious reason to replace, but here are a few more.

• Curling and cracked shingles
• Granular loss and aging shingles
• Signs of a rotting roof
• rusted, missing, or damaged flashing

It’s important to consider replacing your roof if you notice any of these signs. Delaying could result in more damage to your home and thousands of dollars in repairs. 

What Is the Cost of a New Roof?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. New roofs on different homes will have different price tags. You will need to get an estimate from your roofer to know exactly how much your new Kelowna roof will cost. 

Also consider asking: “are there any other costs that could arise?”

How Long Will My New Roof Last?

This answer varies depending on the kind of weather your new roof will have to endure. On average, shingle roofs should last around 20 years. 

Be sure to also ask about their warranty. Most warranties should cover the work and the materials used.

Do You Carry Liability Insurance and Work Safe?

You want to make sure that your roofing company has liability insurance in case there is any damage done to your home, and it’s also a good idea to make sure they have Work Safe. This ensures that if any workers get injured on your property, you will not be liable. 

How Long Will It Take to Replace My Roof?

Asking for a timeline for your roof installation is a good idea, so you know what to expect. The time it will take to replace your roof depends on the size of your home and how many people are available to work on it. On average, it takes about a week to replace a roof.  

Do You Have Any Home References I Can Talk With?

You may want to speak to a roofer’s past customers before signing on the dotted line. References will give you some great insight into the company replacing your roof. You could find out if they are professional, get their work done on time, or if they have any complaints. 

What Do I Need to Do?

Here are a few things you can do that might make the process easier.

• Keep your driveway clear
• Remove breakable, hanging objects from your walls
• Confine your pets to a quieter room if they become upset from the noise
• Let your neighbors know what you are doing

Asking your roofer what they can do to help could make installing your new roof quicker and more efficient. Taking actions like these will keep your belongings safe and the people around you happier.
