FAQs
How do I know if my asphalt shingle roof in Elora needs repair or full replacement?
Warning signs include curled, cracked or missing shingles, excessive granule loss in gutters, visible sagging, water stains on interior ceilings, and moss or algae growth. In Elora’s freeze-thaw climate, small defects can worsen quickly. If damage is limited to one area and the roof is under 15 years old, a targeted repair may be enough. Roofs 18–25 years old or with widespread shingle failure, deck rot, or multiple leaks generally benefit from full replacement. Our free inspection evaluates shingle condition, flashing, ventilation, and underlying decking to recommend the most cost-effective solution.
What factors affect the cost of shingle replacement roofing in Elora?
Pricing is influenced by roof size and pitch, chosen shingle type (3-tab, architectural, or premium designer), condition of the existing decking, number of roof penetrations (vents, chimneys, skylights), disposal fees, and any required upgrades such as ice-and-water membrane or improved ventilation. Local labour rates and material availability also play a role. After an on-site assessment, we provide a detailed written quote that breaks down materials, labour, permits, and taxes so you can see exactly where every dollar goes.
How long does a typical shingle roof replacement take, and will I need to leave my home?
Most single-family homes in Elora can be re-shingled in 1–2 days, weather permitting. Complex roofs or unexpected deck repairs may extend the job by an extra day. You do not need to vacate the home, but there will be noise and vibration while old shingles are removed and new ones nailed down. We protect landscaping, set up safety barriers, and perform a full magnet sweep to collect nails before we leave daily.
Can I replace missing or damaged shingles myself, or should I hire a professional roofer?
Replacing a single shingle sounds simple, but working at height, matching existing materials, and ensuring proper sealing are challenging. DIY repairs done incorrectly can void manufacturer warranties or create hidden leaks. Professional roofers carry fall-arrest gear, have access to colour-matched shingles, and understand Ontario Building Code requirements. For minor patch jobs we offer affordable service calls; for larger repairs or warranty work, professional installation is essential.
What type of shingles are best suited for Elora’s climate?
Architectural laminated asphalt shingles are the most popular because they combine durability, wind resistance up to 210 km/h, and an attractive dimensional look. We also offer Class 4 impact-rated shingles for added protection against hail. All our shingles include algae-resistant granules to prevent staining in Elora’s humid summers, and we install an ice-and-water shield along eaves and valleys to combat winter ice dams.
Do you offer warranties or maintenance plans after a roof repair or replacement?
Yes. Full shingle replacements come with a 50-year limited manufacturer warranty and our 10-year workmanship guarantee, transferable once within the first five years. For repairs, we provide a one- to five-year labour warranty depending on the scope of work. Customers can also enroll in our annual maintenance plan, which includes a spring and fall inspection, gutter cleaning, minor sealant touch-ups, and a discounted rate on any future repairs.
