Garage Roof Replacement

Garage roofs are often overlooked until shingles start lifting, leaking, or dropping granules into the gutters. A garage roof replacement may be needed when shingles are curled, cracked, missing, heavily worn, or no longer protecting the structure underneath.

Detached garages in Edmonton take the same weather exposure as the house: wind, snow load, ice buildup, hail, and freeze-thaw movement. Even if the garage is not heated, leaks can still damage plywood, framing, stored tools, vehicles, bikes, seasonal items, and anything kept inside.

A garage roof replacement is also worth considering when the roof already has multiple layers, when patching would only delay the problem, or when the garage roof visually lowers the appearance of the property.

Epictus checks the garage roof size, existing shingle condition, number of layers where visible, roof slope, ridge, vents, drip edge, fascia edges, decking condition where possible, and any obvious leak points. If the garage is attached to the home, we also look at the tie-in areas where water can travel between roof sections.

If there are two layers of shingles, damaged decking, poor ventilation, or old metal edging, those details are included in the scope so there are fewer surprises once the work starts.

A garage roof replacement can include removal of the old roofing, disposal, inspection of the wood deck, synthetic underlayment, ice and water protection where appropriate, starter shingles, architectural asphalt shingles, ridge cap, drip edge, vents if needed, cleanup, and magnetic nail sweep.

The scope depends on the garage size, roof condition, number of existing layers, and whether the garage is detached or attached. Epictus provides a written quote so the homeowner understands what is included before scheduling the job.
