How A St. Albert AB Roofing Contractor Helps Stop Leaky Roof Problems

By Lonnie Hahne


Since the roof protects the home and everything inside, it should be kept in prime condition. A well-maintained roof enhances the home's longevity and appearance, protects it from weather-related damage, and increases its value. A St. Albert AB roofing contractor provides professional roofing services, installing high-quality materials according to manufacturers' guidelines.

When these homeowners notice problems with their roofs, they may assume they will need a complete replacement to fix it. Professional contractors may be able to inspect the total area in order to pinpoint the actual problems instead. They can make sure no more than three layers of shingles are on the structure for instance.

A solution to the problem of high heating and cooling bills may be replacement of old and poorly functioning insulation. Today there are numerous insulating products on the market that have been designated by Environment Canada as eco-friendly. Many are actually made from recycled paper. They work very well at keeping homes energy efficient and free of fungus and bugs.

Ice build up is a common problem during harsh winters. Good insulation helps protect shingles from its effect and adds to their longevity. The monthly savings gained outweighs the initial cost.

A good time to consider replacing old insulation is during a remodeling or renovation project. If your electrical wiring in the attic is being updated, the contractors will have to remove the insulation anyway.

After a fire, attic insulation usually has to be replaced to eliminate damage and odors caused by smoke. After completing any necessary installation and repairs, roofing technicians clean up afterward, so customers aren't left with unsightly debris on their property.

The St. Albert AB roofing contractor uses name-brand materials to repair and replace roofing and insulation on residential and commercial properties. They also specialize in renovations.
