Residential roof replacement and repairs can be stressful as they may involve high costs, and it’s important to hire the right roofing contractors for the job. Residential roofing should not only look aesthetic but needs to be functional and durable as well.
Residential Roofs in Edmonton
If you plan to sell or rent your home in Edmonton, a beautiful roof can help increase its curb appeal and value.
There are a range of exciting options when it comes to selecting the right roofing material, colour, and pattern for your home. While slate looks rustic and classy, asphalt shingle roofs are the most affordable choice.

When to Consider Replacing Your Roof?
People rarely pay attention to the roof until it springs a leak or your energy bills start to skyrocket. The best way to avoid or defer a residential roof replacement is to call professional roofing contractors to inspect and repair problems as and when they occur.
An isolated area of pooled water or a patch of moss or mould may appear like minor problems. However, leaving them unattended can result in major expenses. While severe storms can damage any roof, regardless of material, poorly maintained and ageing roofs in Edmonton are more likely to be affected.
Check the date when the roof was installed. The age of the roof gives a good idea of how much it still has left. Cracked, curling, and blistering shingles can indicate the need for repairs or a complete roof replacement, depending on the extent of the damage.
How Often Should Residential Roofs Be Replaced?
As a general rule of thumb, wood and asphalt shingle roofs last between 15 and 30 years, while rubber roofs can last for 50 years or more. Metal roofs are the most durable and have the potential to last for 100 years with proper maintenance. Tile roofs are extremely durable and rarely need a full replacement.
As certified and licensed roof contractors in Edmonton, we use materials from reputed manufacturers and provide a warranty for the materials we use. Amateur roofers often offer cheaper rates and offer what’s called a ‘tail-light warranty.’ As the tail-lights of their truck disappear down the road, the warranty disappears as well.
What To Consider Before Residential Roof Replacement
You may be tempted to go with the same material on the previous roof, but it’s a good idea to look at modern, eco-friendly options. You’ll also need to consider peeling off the old roof or installing a membrane on top of the old one.
The next decision involves hiring reliable Edmonton roofing contractors like High Roofing who can guarantee a smooth and hassle-free experience.
When high-quality materials are used, and the roof is installed correctly, the lifespan of the roof can be extended.
