Common Roofing Problems That Homeowners May Encounter
Understanding potential roofing issues is essential for maintaining the integrity of your home. Here are some common problems that homeowners may face:
​
-
Ice dams: Water leaking into your home during thawing periods or ice buildup along the eaves can indicate an issue.
-
Missing or damaged shingles: Bending, missing, or buckling shingles with granules gathering in drains or near the boundary of your residence can lead to water infiltration and increased wear.
-
Roof ventilation problems: Extreme heat buildup in the attic, mould or mildew maturation, or increased energy bills can indicate roofing troubles.
-
Leaking roof: Damp spots in the attic, water stains on ceilings or walls, or seeable water infiltration during rain indicate a need for investigation.
-
Tree damage: Branches rubbing against the roof, fallen debris, and observable damage to shingles or the structure.
-
Pooling water: Stagnant water on your roof, water stains on ceilings or walls, or sagging in the roofline suggest drainage problems.
Additionally, hail can inflict severe damage on roofs. Read our blogs to learn more about protecting your roof from weather conditions!
What Happens If You Delay the Repair of The Roof?
If left unchecked, repairs can lead to something even worse. Small leaks then become massive water damage issues, coupled with mould growth and structural failure, thus raising repair costs significantly. Delays in repairing allow exposure to elements, thereby forcing further degradation of your roofing material, and you eventually force yourself to have a total roof replacement. Problems addressed promptly will protect your home and extend the lifespan of your roof.
Roof Repair Process
Our roof repair process includes the following steps:
-
The roof repair begins with a comprehensive assessment to determine any wear, leaks, or additional problems.
-
Next, any damaged roof decking, the plywood layer atop the roof trusses, is replaced.
-
Following this, new roof flashing is installed near penetrations like chimneys and vents to avoid water ingress.
-
A drip edge is then added to direct water from the fascia, and underlayment is laid down for added security.
-
Finally, new roofs are installed, and the safeguarding of the home against the elements is completed.
Why You Should Avoid DIY Roof Repair?
However, DIY roof repair also comes with dangers: infrequent repairs, possible injuries, and loss of warranties. Without proper expertise, you may encounter unexpected problems and higher-than-normal costs.
Therefore, it is vital to choose roofing professionals for several reasons. Experienced roofers acquire knowledge of proper inspection and appropriate repair. Professionals ensure safety with proper equipment and safety gear to avoid risks. They also use quality materials for repairs since professionals are sources of suitable materials; this may also be cheaper than do-it-yourself efforts.
FAQ’s
Common questions about roof repair:
Can I Inspect My Roof Personally?
We strongly advise against climbing onto your roof unless you are trained to work at heights. Doing so can be hazardous, and slipping off a roof is not uncommon, potentially causing severe injury. If you feel confident and want to check for potential problems, we recommend doing so during spring (after winter) and again in the fall before winter.
Can I Repair My Roof Myself?
While handling minor repairs independently is possible, it's essential to consider the risks involved. Roof repairs often require specific tools and expertise to ensure safety and quality. Attempting repairs without the proper experience can lead to further damage, potential injuries, or issues with warranty coverage.
Hail Damaged My Roof—What Should I Do?
Your insurance company will typically inform you that a claim will be opened. They may suggest having a roofing company inspect the site or send their preferred vendor. Our team can process insurance claims for both residential and commercial structures. We can expedite the process with our extensive experience in complete insurance claims management.
Will My Homeowner's Insurance Cover Roof Repairs?
Homeowner's insurance may cover roof repairs if the damage is caused by events specified in your policy, such as hail, storms, or other natural occurrences. Coverage may vary based on the roof's age, the damage's cause, and your policy terms.

How Long Will a Roof Repair Take?
The time to repair a roof can sometimes be short. For example, if the complexity of the work calls for not more than several hours, whereas roof replacement can take 2-3 days. The team will inform you of the prognosis for the time of work during the primary inspection.
Do You Offer Warranties on Roof Repairs?
Yes, we stand behind our work and offer warranties on our roof repairs. The specific terms will depend on the type of repair and materials used, so feel free to ask us for details during your consultation.
Can Roof Repairs Be Done During the Winter?
Yes, roofing repair in Calgary can be carried out during the winter, but it requires specific techniques and careful planning. While cold temperatures and snow may complicate the process, professional roofers have the experience to handle winter repairs. In some cases, emergency repairs—such as fixing leaks—cannot wait until spring, and delaying them could cause further damage.
How Much Does It Cost to Repair a Roof in Calgary?
The roof repair cost in Calgary varies depending on several factors, including the extent of the damage, the type of roofing material, and the size of the area that needs repairs. Generally, minor repairs can cost a few hundred dollars, while more extensive repairs may require a more significant investment.
Can a Damaged Roof Be Repaired, or Does It Need to Be Replaced?
Minor issues, such as missing shingles or small leaks, can typically be repaired without total replacement. However, if your roof has extensive wear, structural issues, or multiple areas of damage, it may be more cost-effective and safer to replace it entirely.
Can Roof Leaks Cause Mould?
Yes, roof leaks can lead to mould growth if not addressed promptly. Water entering a damaged roof can create damp areas, allowing mould to develop in ceilings, walls, or insulation. If mould spreads, it can pose health risks and require additional remediation services.
Repair Now Instead of Later
Over time, your roof experiences weathering from exposure to the weather, hail, sun, debris, tree limbs, and more. Failure to maintain your roof regularly and perform repairs on time could set you up for trouble. Ignoring minor problems with your roof can gradually cause them to grow, requiring expensive replacements later.
