Roof repairs & Maintenance roof leak repair

Wind, poor installation, gravity and physical damage are some of the most common causes of broken or missing tiles. If you have tree branches near your roof, consider cutting them back. Fortunately, hail damage to tile roofs in BC’s Lower Mainland is very rare.

With a properly installed batten system, flashing details and proper walking technique, tile breakage risk due to foot traffic is minimized, but it still may be best if you inspect your roof from the ladder. Also, please note that tiles can be very slippery when wet. So we recommend a pro like us!

If you do notice tiles that have been damaged, or have been taken by the elements, you’ll want to have the roof professionally inspected and repaired as soon as possible. With the roof’s ability to shed water compromised, damage to the wood, underlayment and deck can take place quickly.

 Not all roofing emergencies are created equal, and if you have a slow leak on the roof, it may not hold the sense of urgency that other problems take on. In some cases, a tarp and a patch job will sustain the roof until your roofing contractor can take more concrete action to eviscerate the problem. One problem most homeowners have is that they look at minor roofing problems as no big deal. But any roofing contractor will tell you that it is a big deal and will lead to more significant future issues if ignored. Your home is your single most important investment; why not contain minor problems before they become catastrophes.
