FAQs
Why should I choose Canadian-made shingles for my roof replacement in Elora?
Canadian-made shingles are engineered for our unique climate, including wide temperature swings, heavy snow loads, and freeze–thaw cycles common in Elora. They meet or exceed CSA A123.5 standards, incorporate UV-resistant asphalt blends, and often carry higher wind and impact ratings than many imported alternatives. Buying Canadian also supports domestic jobs and reduces transportation emissions.
How long can I expect a new Canadian-made shingle roof to last?
With proper installation and ventilation, premium architectural shingles manufactured in Canada typically last 25–35 years. In Elora’s environment, longevity is influenced by attic ventilation, ice-dam protection, and regular maintenance. Many Canadian brands back their products with limited lifetime warranties and non-prorated coverage for the first 10–15 years.
What factors affect the cost of a shingle roof replacement in Elora?
Key cost drivers include roof size and complexity (pitch, valleys, skylights), choice of shingle line (standard vs. designer), underlayment upgrades such as ice-&-water shield, disposal fees for old roofing, and local labour rates. On average, Elora homeowners spend $4.50–$6.50 per sq. ft., but a detailed on-site assessment is required for an exact quote.
Will the installation disrupt my daily routine?
Most average-sized detached homes in Elora can be reroofed in 1–2 days, weather permitting. Our crew arrives after 7 a.m., sets up protective tarps over landscaping, and uses magnetic rollers to collect nails at the end of each day. You can stay in your home; power tools and occasional thumping noises are the primary disturbances.
What warranties are included with Canadian-made shingles?
Manufacturers typically provide a limited lifetime material warranty plus 130–150 km/h wind coverage. When installed by our certified team, you also receive a 10-year workmanship warranty covering leaks related to installation. Optional enhanced warranty packages can extend non-prorated coverage up to 50 years and make the warranty transferable once to a new homeowner.
How do I know if my existing roof in Elora needs replacement rather than repair?
Signs include shingles that are curling, cracked, or missing, excessive granule loss in gutters, repeated ice dams, interior ceiling stains, and roofs over 20 years old. Our free inspection checks the shingle surface, flashing integrity, attic ventilation, and sheathing condition to recommend repair or full replacement backed by photos and a clear report.
