The average lifespan of any roof in Calgary is approximately 20 years. This means that even if you’re diligent with maintenance, eventually they all need to be replaced.
When it’s time to replace your roof, it’s essential to work with a trusted and experienced professional roofer. So you can avoid any surprises, we’ve put together a list of what you can expect during a roof replacement project in Calgary:
Your Step-By-Step Guide
Professional Inspection
When you schedule your roof replacement in Calgary, we’ll first conduct a thorough inspection of your existing roof to determine its condition.
During the inspection, we’ll examine the roof, attic, and support structures to ensure every part can withstand the weight of a new roof. If we see any issues during our inspection, we’ll come up with a plan to address and repair them before your roof replacement.
After your inspection, we’ll provide you with a detailed quote for the roof replacement costs so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Planning the Roof Replacement
When we’re ready to begin your project, we’ll discuss your options for materials and determine which will best suit your needs.
We’ll then schedule a time for your roof replacement that works for you and your family. Don’t worry—we’ll take care of any necessary permits. You don’t have to be home during installation, but you may find it helpful to be home when the replacement begins.
Removal
We’ll begin by carefully removing all existing roofing materials to expose the underlying surface. This allows us to inspect the structure thoroughly, and ensures your new roof is installed on a clean, solid base—helping to prevent future leaks. After removal, we’ll responsibly dispose of all the old material.
New Roof Replacement
Now for the fun part—installation of your new roof can begin. This process will take a couple of days, and the result will be a solid and reliable roof to protect your home from Calgary’s extreme weather for years to come.
Walkthrough
Once your roof replacement is done, we’ll walk you through everything we did during the project so you know what to expect. We’ll inform you of any repairs or changes to the project, review your warranty, and answer any questions you may have. We’ll then ensure you understand your new roof’s maintenance requirements to prolong its life.
Clean Up
After installing your roof, we’ll inspect the area and remove any debris or waste from your property. We’ll check for loose nails or discarded material to leave your yard looking as good as when we arrived.
Getting Your Calgary Home Ready for a Roof Replacement
If you’re ready for a roof replacement, it’s essential to make sure your home is ready, too:
Move Your Vehicles
If your cars are in the driveway, move them to the street or alley so you can come and go as you please. Pull them out if they’re in the garage so they won’t be blocked in by equipment. Make sure your vehicle isn’t going on and off of the driveway during the process as you may get a flat tire or debris may hit your vehicle.
Moving your vehicles gives our team easy access to your roof. The closer we can pull our equipment and supplies, the quicker we can complete your roof replacement.
Stay clear of the bin, it’s a safety hazard as materials will be thrown into the bin from the roof, sometimes the bin isn’t always hit and this can result in injury if standing in proximity.
Clear Away Furniture and Toys
Move patio furniture and play structures away from the house. This will protect them from damage if roofing materials or tools are accidentally dropped. Pick up toys to keep you, your property, and our team safe from tripping. Also be sure to clean up any animal droppings as any roofing team will not be happy having to deal with that.
Protect Your Gardens
Protect your gardens and landscaping from potential damage with tarps. Build temporary walls with planks or stakes and lay a tarp over them. No need to worry about established trees and shrubs, though—they should be strong enough to withstand stray roofing material.
Mow Your Lawn and Prune Your Trees
Shorter grass allows our team to detect potential hazards more easily. Mowing the lawn before we arrive helps us to ensure your lawn is free of debris when we’re done.
After mowing, use flags to mark sprinkler heads and drainage areas so we can steer clear of them. Trim any tree limbs near the roof to reduce the risk of damage and improve access for our crew.
Have a Plan for Kids and Pets
For everyone’s safety, please keep kids and pets out of the yard while we work. Tools, nails, and debris can pose a serious risk to curious hands and feet. The property will be clean of all debris after the project is done.
Making the Process Painless
A roof replacement should only take a few days, but it can be disruptive to daily life. While you can live in your house while we work, roof replacements can be noisy. Plan ahead and be prepared for extra noise.
To ensure your roof replacement goes smoothly, prepare your house prior to your appointment.
If you work from home or have children or animals that are sensitive to noise, you may want to find other places to work and play while we’re at your home.
