Redoing your roof is not a task to take lightly. First of all, choose an experienced company that has the know-how, the workforce and the essential equipment to carry out your project. Ask for the contractor license number from the Régie du logement du Québec (RBQ), proof of liability insurance and obtain references.
A tip: travel to check the quality of the work carried out by the roofer on other properties. It's done? Here are the 4 steps to follow to complete your project.
Do your homeworkYou can start your project by reading the inspection report that you had obtained before you buy the house. Had the inspector noted any anomalies on the roof side? Had he noticed a defect that needed to be corrected as a priority? Your first duty is to ensure that the roofer will also take this into account in his quote.
Choose your materialsFind out about the covering materials that may be suitable for your roof. Asphalt shingles? Elastomer membrane? Metal? Slate? Several options are available to you. The price will vary depending on the type of covering and the area to be covered. Should the insulation, ventilation, framework or gutters be redone? Take the time to check and understand the quote obtained from the roofer. Remember that a well-insulated, waterproof and ventilated roof will allow you to save considerably on heating and cooling costs.
Check guaranteesWhen it comes to roof repairs, when we talk about “lifetime warranty”, it generally refers to the lifespan of the material. Do business with a contractor who will inform you directly about the applicable guarantees. Ask questions, find out about the terms and factors of depreciation. At René Perron Couvreurs, we offer an exclusive “double protection” guarantee. Call us for details and eligibility requirements.
Enjoy the best weatherIt is best to redo your roof during the summer, in spring or summer. For what? Because the heat of the sun allows materials to adhere optimally.
