Frequently Asked Questions
- How often does my Ottawa roof need replacement?
- Asphalt shingle 20-30 years in Ottawa climate; standing-seam metal 50+ years; cedar shake 25-40 years. Winter freeze-thaw and summer UV accelerate wear. Annual inspection catches issues early — ice-dam damage, wind-damaged shingles, ventilation problems.
- Do I need ice-dam prevention in Ottawa?
- Strongly recommended — Ottawa's cold winters drive ice-dam formation on inadequately insulated/ventilated roofs. Ice damming causes thousands in water damage. Prevention: adequate attic insulation (R-60+), proper soffit-to-ridge ventilation, heat cable on eaves. Budget $1,500-$5,000 CAD for comprehensive ice-dam prevention.
- When can I install a new Ottawa roof?
- April-November. Asphalt shingle installation requires 5°C+ for proper sealing. Winter installs proceed for emergency repairs but quality full-roof replacement waits for spring. Book 4-8 weeks ahead for spring/fall (peak demand).
