A Full Suite of Roofing Services for Ottawa Homes and Businesses

When it comes to your roof, you should only turn to someone you can trust. At Sanderson Roofing, we have over 125 years of experience in providing quality roofing services in Ottawa. We understand how bothersome and concerning roofing issues can be - for homeowners, it can cause immense stress, while commercial clients might have to halt their operations. For this reason, we focus on providing you with quick and efficient solutions.

Common Roofing Problems

Call us as soon as you notice the following roofing problems:

Leaky roofs: A leaking roof can cause severe damages to your property if not dealt with in time. It can also create a build-up moisture, resulting in damp walls and multiple other issues.

Roof blow-offs: SSevere windstorms can blow your roof off. If you notice damages to your roof after a storm, or if you want to get a routine inspection done, feel free to call us.

Poor installation: Not having your roof installed correctly in the first place can lead you to face costly repairs in the future. You must keep in mind only to hire quality and dependable roofing contractors.

Ponding water: Having standing water is one of the most common problems on a flat roof. It can result from insufficient drainage. An uneven roof surface can obstruct your drainage. We can quickly rectify this with scheduled roof maintenance.
Poor maintenance: Routine maintenance can help you keep your roofs healthy and in mint condition for a longer period. If you let a series of minor repairs build up over time, it can force you to spend more money than you planned.
Ice and Snow damage: Damage caused by ice and snow can cause winter leaks, structural damage, and shingle deterioration. Moreover, the additional weight can gravely damage your roof.
Blistering and ridges: Roof blisters occur due to rising temperatures, i.e., trapped air and moisture left behind the roofs’ layers. It is common for low-sloped as well as flat roofing in Ottawa.
Loose flashings: Roof flashings seal and protect the buildings’ joints from water penetration. When flashings are loose or poorly installed, they can cause holes or cuts on your roofs. This causes higher risks of a leak.

Repair vs. Replace: Making the Right Decision for Your Ottawa Roof

Your roof is your home's first line of defense against the elements. Regular maintenance and timely repairs are crucial for ensuring its longevity and functionality. However, there comes a time when repairs are no longer sufficient, and a complete roof replacement becomes necessary. Here's a guide to help you decide whether your Ottawa roof needs a repair or a replacement:

Signs Your Roof Needs Repair

Minor Leaks: If you notice a small leak in your roof, it's likely repairable. Early detection and prompt action are key to preventing the leak from worsening and causing more extensive damage.

Missing or Damaged Shingles: A few missing or damaged shingles can be easily replaced without requiring a full roof replacement.

Curling or Cracked Shingles: Curling or cracked shingles indicate aging asphalt shingles but don't necessarily necessitate a complete replacement. However, if a significant portion of the shingles exhibit this issue, a replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run.

Flashing Issues: Cracked or loose flashing around chimneys, vents, or skylights can be repaired to prevent leaks.

Ice Dam Backup: Ice dams can cause water to back up under the shingles and lead to leaks. While removing ice dams can be a temporary solution, addressing the underlying cause, such as poor ventilation, might be necessary to prevent future occurrences.

Signs Your Roof Needs Replacement

Age of Your Roof: Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 15-30 years, while metal roofs can last 40-70 years or even longer. If your roof is nearing the end of its expected lifespan, regardless of its condition, a replacement should be considered.

Extensive Leaks: Multiple leaks or widespread water damage throughout your roof indicate a systemic problem that repairs cannot fix. A complete replacement is likely necessary to ensure a watertight roof.

Sagging or Collapsing Roof Deck: A sagging or collapsing roof deck is a serious structural issue requiring immediate attention. Repairs might not be feasible, and a complete roof replacement is essential to restore the structural integrity of your roof.

Extensive Moss or Algae Growth: Excessive moss or algae growth on your roof can trap moisture and accelerate shingle deterioration. If a significant portion of your roof is affected, a replacement might be necessary, especially if the shingles are nearing the end of their lifespan.

Curling or Cracked Shingles Throughout the Roof: If a large portion of your roof's shingles are curled, cracked, or missing, a replacement is likely more cost-effective than widespread repairs.

Additional Considerations

Cost-Effectiveness: While repairs may seem like a more budget-friendly option in the short term, consider the long-term costs. Extensive repairs can add up over time, while a high-quality roof replacement can offer peace of mind for decades.

Energy Efficiency: If you're considering a roof replacement, explore energy-efficient roofing materials that can help you save on cooling costs in the summer.

Curb Appeal: A new roof can significantly enhance your home's curb appeal and value, especially if you're planning to sell in the future.

Consulting a Roofing Professional

The decision to repair or replace your roof is crucial. If you're unsure about the condition of your roof, schedule a consultation with a qualified roofing contractor in Ottawa. Sanderson Roofing can inspect your roof, assess the extent of any damage, and recommend the most appropriate course of action based on your specific situation and budget.
