All roof coverings require a good solid substrate. The roof deck has to be strong and thick enough to hold the fasteners to ensure the roof system does not blow off in severe winds. For some roof materials, it’s extremely important to ensure that the roof substrate is smooth, even, and is not susceptible to large seasonal movements. For example, thin plywood decks can move under snow loads during the winter. Such movement can tear materials that become brittle in the cold, such as shingle roofs. Metal roofs, cedar shakes, and rubber tiles are less susceptible to breakage from flexing substrates, but they are also significantly more expensive to begin with.

Our installations generally take anywhere from one to three full days, but this can vary greatly due to various circumstances and conditions, such as inclement weather, the size of the roof, a material shortage, the discovery of a defect, etc.

An average installation (typically sized roof, no outstanding conditions, no special requests) should cost somewhere between $5,000 and $10,000. Again, this may fluctuate.

We currently offer the installation of asphalt shingles, metal roofing materials, cedar shingles, composite shakes, and flat roofing membranes.

Roofmaster employees are not trained in the removal and installation of solar panels. This means that your solar panels will need to be removed prior to your installation, and re-fitted following the project. This would be done the company who first installed the panels (any costs associated are not covered by Roofmaster).

Generally, most asphalt shingle roofs – the most common type of roof – last around 12 to 20 years depending on the roof pitch, level of sun exposure, and type of shingles used. This will vary slightly between cases.

Yes. All of our installations come with workmanship warranty and a materials warranty.

Generally, we would advise against performing any Diy roofing projects. If you’re handy or work in another type of trade, you can most likely manage minor caulking and touch-up work.

These options would be purchased by the customer and installed by Roofmaster at an extra cost. We do not perform these types of installations regularly.

We will temporarily seal the roof 100% securely and come back to complete the installation when the chance bad weather has passed.
