FAQs
How can I tell if my roof in Elora needs repair or a full replacement?
Warning signs include curled or missing shingles, chronic leaks, granules collecting in gutters, soft spots on the decking, and visible daylight in the attic. Because Elora sees freeze–thaw cycles and occasional high winds, minor issues can quickly worsen. A professional inspection every 2–3 years—or after a major storm—will determine whether strategic repairs will extend the roof’s life or whether age, widespread shingle failure, or structural damage make replacement more cost-effective.
Which roofing materials perform best in Elora’s climate?
For most homes we recommend architectural asphalt shingles rated for at least 130 km/h winds and Class 3–4 impact resistance. They shed snow well and are budget-friendly. Steel standing-seam panels are popular for rural properties because they resist ice damming and last 40–60 years. Synthetic slate and cedar shakes match Elora’s heritage aesthetic but require proper ventilation and higher upfront investment. We discuss insulation, ventilation, and underlayment choices so the entire roof system is optimized for Southern Ontario winters, summer humidity, and occasional hail.
How long will a typical roof replacement take?
A straightforward single-family asphalt shingle replacement (2,000–2,500 sq ft) usually takes 1–2 days, including removal of the old roof, deck repairs, installation, and site clean-up. Complex roofs with multiple valleys, dormers, or skylights can take 3–4 days. Metal and cedar shake projects add another day for precision detailing. We provide a detailed timeline in your written quote and keep you updated if weather in Wellington County causes delays.
Are you licensed and insured to work in Elora and surrounding areas?
Yes. We are fully licensed to operate in the Township of Centre Wellington, carry $5 million in liability insurance, and maintain WSIB coverage for every crew member. Copies of certificates are provided with every proposal, and our team adheres to Ontario Building Code and manufacturer installation standards. Permits are obtained when structural modifications are involved.
What warranties do you offer on roofing work?
All shingle and metal roofs include a manufacturer’s material warranty—typically 30–50 years for shingles and up to 40 years for steel panels—registered in your name. In addition, we provide a 10-year workmanship warranty that covers installation-related leaks, flashing failures, and ventilation issues. Annual maintenance packages are available to keep warranties in force and extend the roof’s service life.
How much does a new roof cost in Elora?
Costs vary by material, roof geometry, and required deck repairs, but as a guideline: architectural asphalt shingles run $4.50–$6.50 per square foot installed, while standing-seam metal averages $10–$14. Cedar shakes typically range $12–$16. Every quote is itemized—showing tear-off, disposal, underlayment, ventilation upgrades, and taxes—so you understand exactly where your investment goes. Financing and seasonal promotions are available to make budgeting easier.
