Tips to choose the Right Professional

It doesn't really matter if you need new construction roofing installation, inspections, maintenance, repairs, or replacement, the work should be topnotch. Set yourself up for success, as a homeowner, and make the right choice for your specific situation by following these rules:
  • Ask the people you know and trust for a referral.
The best way to find out about local roofers who offer good results is to ask the people you know for referrals. They have no reason to lie and nothing to gain and are likely to give you candid feedback about their experience with their roofer.
  • Check out manufacturer recommendations.
If you have a particular type of roofing material or brand you prefer, their website may recommend locals in your area. Choose from the list they provide to start screening prospective candidates.
  • Check for certification and insurance.
There's no reason to work with any contractor who lacks the proper certification and insurance. Check for current renewals and a company that's in good standing.
  • Check for warranties and get your estimate in writing.
One company may sound better than another based on price, but does it include a warranty? A lower rate for work that a company won't stand behind isn't much of a deal. Also, make sure everything is in writing, including details you'd assume that are included, like cleanup.
  • Don't base your decision on the lowest price.
You get what you pay for, and when it comes to roofing, you don't want cheap materials or labor. Good value is the key, and that's how you end up with quality work for an affordable price.
So, hire a roofing specialist that meets all of these criteria and offers excellent service.

​Tips to extend your shingle warranty

  • Having your roof maintained regularly can help avoid costly repairs later. Most leaks can easily be fixed if handled as early as possible. When you choose European Roofing, our roofers can show and guide you in doing ground inspections, so you can easily spot loose shingles or other problems before they cause major damage.

  • ​Preparing Your Roof to Handle our Alberta Weather Elements
    There's no getting around the fact that your rooftop is the first line of defense against the elements. So, either prepare your roof for this task or prepare yourself to have a lot of costly repairs over the years to come.
    Some extra precautionary steps you can take include things like:
  • Install Gutters
    • Gutters serve a critical purpose, and that's to capture rainwater as it spills off the edge of the roof. This minimizes the damage water could cause to your siding and foundation
    • Keep the Gutters Maintained
    • DO NOT ATTEMP TO GO ON YOUR ROOF YOURSELF.
    • Having gutters is one thing but making sure they're maintained is another. Get them cleaned out and repaired as needed, or it's worse than not having gutters. That's because clogs can cause water to back up and push under the shingles.​

  • Hire the Right Professionals!​
    • Hiring a professional company that has been around for over 25 years ensures your warranty will be safe for a lifetime.
  • ​Protect your roof from hail and heavy rains. Severe storms in Alberta pose a serious threat to even the best roofing system, and there's usually not much you can do about it ahead of time. However, heavy rains can also cause significant damage unless you prepare your roof.
    The first thing you can do is work with a reputable roofing company that's been in business for a long time. This will ensure they are there for you when you require warranty. Make sure the materials, installation, and maintenance are topnotch. This is the most effective approach to take to make sure your roof is up to the test of severe Alberta weather.
    This will help prevent or at least minimize damage caused by Alberta rains and the elements. Do your due diligence, and you'll have less chance of indecent when it comes to weather-related roof repairs.

  • Take Care of Tree Trimming
    • Cutting back tree limbs so they don't overhang the roof is an essential method of protection. Otherwise, severe wind and rain can cause branches to fall and damage your roof.
​​
  • Take Care of Flashing
    • Homeowners who have poor flashing installation or don't notice when it's become damaged will end up with roof damage. Heavy rains will cause serious leaks and other problems.
