Residential roofing shows signs when it needs replacement, which are varied because roofing systems have many parts. The roof may start to sag, or the shingles may show obvious damage. Other signs that your roof may need a replacement are sunlight and moisture leaks or missing or curling shingles. If any of these problems arise, it is time to contact a professional roofing contractor in Edmonton.
Silverline Roofing Ltd. in Edmonton is a commercial and residential roofing contractor. They have over 20 years of experience and a broad portfolio of roof replacements. With those, they deeply understand the parts of roof replacement that help homeowners get a long-lasting renovation.
Replacing the roof and more
Roof replacement is a significant home renovation. Residential roofs are made up of many parts to consider for replacement. Below, Silverline Roofing offers a step-by-step guide to this undertaking.
1. Frame and decking
This is the wooden “skeleton” of the roof. Like a home’s frame, the roof needs a sturdy base to sit. The frame also dictates the shape and slope of the roof. Silverline Roofing is a full-service contractor that offers every step of roof replacement. They will handle the detailed and intricate carpentry required for roof framing. A roof frame includes different wooden pieces to create posts, rafters, and joists. These are then insulated and covered in the decking.
If your roof has severe damage, you might need to replace some of the frame and decking. However, in many cases, just the protective layers and shingles are required.
2. Protective roof layers
The roof isn’t quite yet ready for shingles. Before the shingles go up, Silverline Roofing adds necessary underlayment and sheathing. These are protective barriers. The underlayment protects against fires and moisture. Beyond protection, these also allow the other roof materials to breathe.
3. Shingle installation
Once the roofing contractor installs the necessary underlayment and repairs the roof decking, it’s time to install shingles! High-quality asphalt shingles can last for decades and come in various styles and colours. In addition, shingles will come with a manufacturer’s warranty to ensure you’re covered.
4. And more…
To function properly, the roof will require finishing pieces. These pieces also add decorative elements to roofing. Silverline Roofing walks homeowners through the different options for eavestroughs, soffits, fascia, downspouts, and flashing if they are required. When all is said and done, Silverline Roofing thoroughly inspects its own installation.
