Roofing FAQ
What is the most economical roofing material?
Asphalt shingles tend to be the most affordable. While metal and cedar shingles are more costly, they last significantly longer than other roofing materials, which can end up saving you money in the long run.
How long is a roof good for?
This depends on what type of roofing material you use. On average, metal roofs last the longest. Typical asphalt roof shingles can last 15-30 years and often have limited warranties of 20 years-lifetime.
What is the best month to replace a roof?
We recommend replacing your roof in late spring or early fall; these seasons have the most favourable weather conditions.
What materials do you need to roof a house?
The basic materials required include nails, an underlayment, eave protection, flashing, sealant, and shingles (or another roofing material).
Siding FAQ
What is commonly used for siding?
Wood, vinyl, composite, fiber cement, and metal siding are commonly used to protect building exteriors.
What is the cheapest option for siding?
Vinyl siding is one of the most economical siding options; it’s aesthetically pleasing, protective, and affordable.
Can you mix vinyl and wood siding?
Create a unique look by mixing and matching siding materials. This creates a modern design that emphasizes the different architectural features of your building.
What is the difference between vinyl siding and aluminum siding?
Both are weather resistant, low maintenance and durable. Vinyl siding can be an economic option with a variety of colours to choose from. Aluminum can provide a modern aesthetic to your home.
