Replace Your Calgary Roof Before Winter

Now that October is here and we’ve already had our first snowfall, it’s a great time to think about roof replacement. You don't want all the snow and ice accumulation in the winter months to melt into your home.

Don’t Wait Until Spring to Replace Your Roof

It’s can be tempting to put off getting a new roof until spring, especially when fall can be so busy with back to school, Thanksgiving, Halloween and getting ready for Christmas. However, if you have roofing damage, you don’t want to wait until spring to fix it.

Getting your roof fixed long before the snow and ice starts to melt throughout the winter and in spring may save you tens of thousands of dollars of structural and interior water leak damage. It’s always better to fix your roof long before you see signs of water damage on the inside of your home.

How to Know if Your Roof Needs Replacing

Some telltale signs of a roof that needs to be replaced are:

• worn-out sections of asphalt shingles
• build-ups of asphalt granules in your eavestroughs
• visibly missing or torn shingles
• warped or curling shingles

Generally, roofing damage is visible from street level, however, if you are unsure, give our roofing contractors a call for a free evaluation. We’d be happy to come and give your roof a full inspection.

Can Your Roof be Replaced in Winter?

It certainly is possible to replace your roof all winter long, however you are more likely to have disruptions to the work on extremely cold days or with heavy snowfall. Getting your roof replaced before the full onset of winter will help you to rest easy knowing your home and family will be protected for years to come.
