FAQs
What roofing problems are most common in Kelso’s climate, and how do you ensure long-term protection when repairing them?
Kelso experiences frequent rain, occasional high winds, and temperature swings that can cause shingles to crack, flashing to loosen, and moss or algae to thrive. During a repair, we start with a full moisture-mapping inspection to locate hidden leaks, replace damaged shingles or tiles with like-for-like materials, install upgraded underlayment, and apply anti-fungal treatments to inhibit moss growth. We also reinforce flashings and seal all penetrations. These steps address the root cause of damage and extend the roof’s service life, not just patch the visible problem.
How long will my roof repair last, and what warranties do you provide?
A properly executed repair on an asphalt-shingle roof in Kelso typically lasts 15–20 years, while repairs on metal or tile roofs can last 25+ years. We back our workmanship with a 10-year labor warranty, and all materials carry the manufacturer’s warranty—up to 50 years for premium shingles and lifetime for metal panels. Annual maintenance plans are also available to keep the warranty valid and maximise longevity.
Do you offer emergency roof repair in Kelso and how quickly can you respond?
Yes. Our emergency team is on call 24/7. For storm, impact, or sudden leak events, we aim to be on-site within 2 hours inside Kelso city limits and within 4 hours for surrounding rural areas. We provide temporary tarping or shrink-wrap protection immediately, then return to complete the permanent repair once weather permits and materials arrive.
How do I know if I need a repair or a full roof replacement?
Our technicians follow a 21-point inspection checklist that evaluates shingle condition, decking integrity, ventilation, insulation, and attic moisture. If damage is confined to 25% or less of the roof and the remaining materials are in good shape, a targeted repair is usually sufficient. If the roof is nearing the end of its expected lifespan, shows widespread granule loss, or has structural decking rot, a replacement is more cost-effective long term. We provide a detailed photographic report and explain the pros, cons, and costs of each option before you decide.
Which roofing materials provide the best long-term protection for homes and businesses in Kelso?
For residential properties, architectural asphalt shingles with upgraded algae-resistant technology are the most popular, offering 30–50-year lifespans at a moderate cost. For superior durability, standing-seam metal or concrete tile delivers 50+ years of service and excellent wind resistance. Commercial buildings often benefit from TPO or PVC single-ply membranes with heat-welded seams, which are energy-efficient and have 20–30-year warranties. We’ll recommend the best material based on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and Kelso’s climate challenges.
What does roof repair typically cost in Kelso, and can you help with insurance or financing?
Prices vary by roof type and damage extent, but minor shingle repairs average £250–£450, moderate section replacements range £700–£1,500, and major structural repairs can reach £3,000 or more. We provide written, fixed-price quotes after inspection. If the damage is storm-related, we can assist with the insurance claim by supplying documentation and meeting adjusters on-site. For out-of-pocket costs, we offer 0% finance options for up to 12 months and low-interest plans up to 60 months to spread payments comfortably.
