Residential & Commercial Roofing: Frequently Asked Questions.

When you are looking at a roofing warranty, you want to see a policy that is specific and lays out the exact coverage that you are getting. You will want to know three key things for any roof warranty. First, the length. Is this a limited-time warranty, a lifetime warranty or a specific period like five years? Second, you will want to see if it is prorated or non-prorated and what the specifics around the clause are. Third, you will want to consider the exclusions and conditions and what exactly voids a warranty that is in place. 

Material warranties are most likely provided by the manufacturer and happen in a few different ways. For instance, if you have a GAF product and you have an issue, GAF will bring in a contractor to check the issue and use a GAF-approved contractor to make any replacements or repairs. 

As expert roofing contractors, Burnaby Roofing Pros can help identify a roof that needs to be repaired from a kilometre away. However, there are some telltale signs that you can look out for. These include damaged shingles, including curling, missing or cracked shingles, granule loss, moss and vegetation on the roof, sagging and visible water damage or flashing and seal damage around the roof. 

Here in the Lower Mainland, the best time to repair, replace or install a roof is anytime! We do not have the deep and cold winters that the rest of the province has, and because of this, we can do roof work year-round in Burnaby, BC. The ideal time of year for our team is summer, spring, or fall. However, we also provide winter roofing services, which can experience some delays due to the rainy weather we experience on the South Coast. 

Here in Burnaby and the rest of the Lower Mainland, including New Westminster, Surrey, Delta, and Vancouver, the weather is not always the best. A light rain is not something to be concerned with, and our team will complete the work without much of a headache. However, if we are dealing with driving rain, we will waterproof the roof and return once the weather improves.   For instance, if we have started a replacement and inclement weather hits, we will tarp off your roof to prevent water from penetrating the home and resume work once the storm passes. 

Prolonging a roof's life is all about one thing, and that is maintenance. Roofs love a well-maintained life, and doing things such as cleaning the gutters, trimming overhanging branches and doing regular roof inspections will help maintain your roof for years to come. 

The cost of a total reroof is very similar to a roof installation and will cost between $7,500 and $20,000, depending on the specific roofing materials used and the complexity of your specific roof. In terms of repairs, it will depend on the specific issue. A piece of flashing coming undone would be a couple of hundred dollars, while a tree going through the roof is going to run into the thousands. It is always best to chat with Burnaby Roofing Pros to get an exact quote for your Burnaby, BC, roofing project. 

When it comes to what to expect during a roofing service, it is really going to depend on the service. However, let’s say we are doing a replacement roof on your Burnaby, British Columbia home. You should expect a dumpster to arrive on day one, with our roofing team starting to remove the old shingles from the roof and any other materials. You should also expect delivery of materials at some point during the day, and once the tear-off is completed, we can then start laying the roof. This will be a noisy job, involving the use of staple guns and roofers moving around the roof. Once done, our team will then complete all the seams flashing and check the rest of the roof to ensure we are in working order. We will also do a once around the property to pick up any debris that may have fallen and finally remove the dumpster. 

You can tell that a roof is leaking if you notice water stains on the ceilings or walls, as well; you may notice dripping water, sagging paint or bubbling drywall. If it is a slow leak, you may also notice a musky smell in your attic or moisture or mould growth.

A roof inspection by our roofing experts will inspect the roof itself, including flashing, vents, soffits, fascia, and eaves, to ensure there are no issues with leaks, missing pieces, or cracks. On the inside, we will inspect your attic for any issues, such as mould growth and water damage, and ensure proper ventilation. These inspections can help determine the current health of a roof and ensure that your home is protected and will last through another dark and damp winter on the West Coast.
