Question 1

How often should I replace my roof?

Accepted Answer

Most asphalt shingle roofs last **15–25 years**, depending on installation quality, material grade, and weather exposure. In harsher climates or coastal areas, you might need repairs or replacement sooner.

Question 2

Do roofers work in winter?

Accepted Answer

Yes — but only under the right conditions. Many Canadian roofers work year-round, though extreme cold can affect material performance and adhesive strength. Winter roofing may cost more due to slower installation and safety precautions.

Question 3

What’s the best time of year to replace a roof?

Accepted Answer

Spring through early fall (roughly April to October) is ideal, when temperatures are moderate and sealants cure properly. Booking early can help you avoid seasonal backlogs.

Question 4

How can I tell if I need a roof repair or full replacement?

Accepted Answer

If only a few shingles are damaged, repairs may suffice. However, widespread curling, leaks, sagging, or repeated ice damming can indicate deeper issues. A professional inspection will confirm the most cost-effective option.

Question 5

What’s the most common mistake homeowners make with their roofs?

Accepted Answer

Ignoring minor leaks or moss buildup. Small issues can quickly turn into costly damage if left untreated, especially with freeze-thaw cycles in the winter.
