Full Roof Replacement

A full roof replacement is usually needed when the shingles are at the end of their life, the roof has widespread damage, or repairs no longer make financial sense. Edmonton roofs deal with wind, snow, ice, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy summer storms. Over time, shingles can curl, crack, lose granules, lift at the edges, or allow water under the roofing system.

A replacement may be the better option if there are leaks in multiple areas, visible sagging, missing shingles across the roof, damaged vents or flashing, or signs of water staining inside the home. It can also be the right move before selling a property, after storm damage, or when the homeowner wants the roof brought back to a clean, dependable condition.

Before quoting a roof replacement, Epictus reviews the roof condition, approximate roof size, visible shingle wear, roof pitch, valleys, vents, flashing, edges, and possible problem areas. We also look for signs that the roof deck may need attention after tear-off.

Roof measurements and photos help confirm the scope, but some conditions can only be verified once the old roofing is removed. If rotten or damaged decking is found during tear-off, it is brought to the homeowner’s attention before extra work proceeds.

A full roof replacement can include tear-off of the existing shingles, disposal, roof deck inspection, synthetic underlayment, ice and water protection where required, starter shingles, architectural asphalt shingles, ridge cap, roof vents, drip edge, flashing review, cleanup, and magnetic nail sweep.

The goal is not just to make the roof look new. The goal is to install a complete roofing system with a clear written scope, proper materials, and a clean jobsite. The homeowner should know what is being replaced, what is being inspected, and what is included before the work begins.
