The Importance of Roof Durability From Trusted Saskatoon Roofers Scott Roofing

Scott Roofing has over 30 years years of experience in the Saskatoon roofing industry and they are the roofer of choice for many of Saskatoon's top contractors.

A Roof Serves As A Crucial Weather Barrier For Your Home

Your roof protects the attic and the rest of the interior from various weather elements. Here are some reasons why roof durability is important:


1. Protection from Water Damage: A durable roof prevents water from infiltrating your home. Water leaks can cause significant damage to the attic, ceilings, walls, insulation, and electrical systems. This can lead to structural issues, mold growth, and damage to personal belongings.


2. Resistance to Wind and Storms: A durable roof is designed to withstand high winds and severe weather conditions. It acts as a shield, protecting your home from wind-driven rain, flying debris, and potential structural damage during storms.


3. Thermal Regulation: A durable roof helps maintain a comfortable and consistent indoor temperature by preventing heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. This can improve energy efficiency, reduce heating and cooling costs, and enhance overall comfort inside the home.


4. Longevity and Cost Savings: A durable roof is built to last, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacement. Investing in a high-quality, durable roof can save you money in the long run by minimizing maintenance expenses and prolonging the lifespan of your roof.


5. Health and Safety: A roof that is in good condition and properly sealed prevents the entry of moisture, which can create an environment for mold and mildew growth. Mold can have adverse health effects on occupants, especially those with respiratory conditions or allergies. A durable roof helps maintain a healthy living environment.


To ensure the durability of your roof, it's important to choose high-quality materials, have professional installation, and perform regular maintenance and inspections. Regular roof inspections can identify any issues early on and allow for timely repairs. Additionally, keeping gutters clean, removing debris, and addressing any signs of damage promptly can help maintain the durability and effectiveness of your roof as a weather barrier.

Choosing The Right Roof For Your Home

At Scott Roofing, we are knowledgeable regarding different aspects of roof design and structural integrity. We understand the importance of the following roofing components:

  • Ensuring roof flashings are the right size and are installed with adequate lap or in the right locations so that water leakage does not occur
  • Ensuring the roof deck is proper and adequate, so that high winds do not cause movement and vibration which will eventually loosen the shingle fasteners
  • Minimizing water penetration from ice damming, which is a build-up of ice at the edge of the roof
  • Properly ventilating the roof space to allow moist air to exit the attic area and dry air to enter
  • Properly fastening shingles
  • Utilizing roofing paper and the proper placement of ice and water shields
  • Installing eave protection
  • Understanding the effects of solar radiation on different types of shingles to ensure a longer life

Scott Roofing works in conjunction with the customer to help them understand the importance of the following constructional components as it relates to the structural integrity of their roof:
  • How to ensure soffit vents are not obstructed by insulation
  • How to minimize the amount of water vapor that enters the attic through proper installation of air and vapour barriers
  • How to reduce high temperatures in your attic, which can lead to problems with your roof and moisture in your home
  • How to reduce the amount of moisture accumulating on the underside of shingles, which can cause shingles to curl and deteriorate prematurely

Trusted Founder Shares A Personal Experience With A Roofing Company That Would Never Qualify For Trusted Saskatoon


When I started Trusted Saskatoon back in 2011, my aim was to create a website where consumers could find TRUSTWORTHY locally owned businesses who operate with integrity. I had suffered a few times from negative experiences and felt that there was something missing that prevented people being ripped off. I recently experienced first-hand ( again) the exact reason why I was driven to create www.trustedsaskatoon.com, as a real resource to protect and help YOU the consumer who is choosing where to spend your hard earned money!

Sara Shares A Real Life Roofing Story

Not long ago I returned home to find that a local 'cedar shake expert' roofing company had stopped by. They spoke to a family member in my absence and delivered a flyer, product brochure, business card and a detailed $12,500 quote for a new roof. I had not requested a quote, however the company representative said they wanted to provide it to us as a courtesy as they were concerned for us. They noted that this was their recommendation based on the many issues they could see whilst working on our neighbours roof. The company had been next door for a few days repairing and re-roofing the roof and they said that had given them an excellent opportunity to see the issues on our roof. Even better,  because they were in the area, they would do it for a special reduced price – how kind of them! 

Unfortunately for this roofing company, they pitched their quote to the wrong homeowners... 

Being the owner of Trusted for nearly 9 years, means that I have learnt a lot of best practices when it comes to quoting. In addition to that, I have lots of people sharing with me who NOT to trust in Saskatoon. This company has been mentioned to me at least a dozen times over the years, so I was bound to be suspicious of the quote and the motivations behind it.


Naturally, I wanted to find out whether these roofing ‘experts’ were right about the issues with my roof, so I called one of our Trusted Saskatoon Roofers, Scott Roofing to take a look. 

Scott Roofing 

Scott Roofing has over 30 years years of experience in the Saskatoon roofing industry and they are the first roofing choice for many of Saskatoon's top contractors. Owner, Scott Landru has  extensive roofing experience, skills and knowledge.They have proven track record and we know them to be a trustworthy reliable roofing contractor for both builders and homeowners who value friendly service and honest advice. 

A Roof Inspection 


Scott visited my house with some team members, and inspected my roof from ground level as well as from on the roof itself. They also checked via a drone to make very sure they had done a thorough job. After a few days he sent over the report and a quote that I have attached below.

 


Please note that the roof showed “signs of normal wear due to ageing”, but that it still had a “projected remaining life expectancy of 15-25 years” so in his expert opinion there would be no reason to complete a roof replacement or any repairs any time soon.

 
Scott’s information raised the question, WHY would this other roofing company give us a quote for $12,500 for a new roof when there was nothing wrong with it? Was this just a genuine mistake, or was there something a bit more sinister to the story? 

WHY You Should Always Do Your Due Diligence 


Upon further investigation, they have 19 (yes,19) cases against them due to issues with past jobs, so it is clear that there is a trend beginning to appear with this business.. They are NOT trustworthy. 

Roofers are often seen as untrustworthy by homeowners, as there have been too many stories like this of people being scared into thinking that their most valuable asset is going to be wrecked by a roof that is in 'desperate' need of a replacement. To add to the problem, few Canadians make the necessary verifications, such as ensuring the company they are signing with legally exists (16%), has proper insurance (19%), a business licence (27%), and a clean legal history (14%). This exacerbates the problem and leads to people being ripped off unnecessarily. 

So, what point am I trying to make by sharing my experience??

I want to emphasize that you should ALWAYS shop around and get at least 2 or 3 quotes whenever you need a job done, to ensure that you do not get ripped off by a disreputable contractor or business owner. Alternatively, you can cut out all that leg work and save time and stress, simply visit Trusted Saskatoon, where you can find a Trusted Saskatoon businesses in 40  categories.

Please share any other comments relating to your experience with the company. 


 "This was an interesting test for Scott Roofing because of some strange circumstances which they handled very well.The roofing material loader (a 3rd party company - not Scott Roofing) - fell through my roof when delivering. Honest accident. They had a repair person there in minutes and properly fixed an entire side of the roof, actually adding value to my home. They let me know of the problem right away and did not try to hide it. There was no cost to me and they made sure I was happy with the work. "
"They finished the roofing just before a very powerful windstorm. I found a roofing nail on my deck not long after and wondered how many might be scattered on the lawn or neighbours lawn. Because the work happened while my family was on vacation, I didn’t want to mow my lawn, now very long due to vacation absence (ie shoot nails around) or have my kids play in the yard for fear of injury and therefore potential litigation. They agreed at no extra cost to come and do a second round of cleanup with a magnet. They did, and everything has been clear; my neighbours said they asked them if they could go over their yards too just in case."
"Scott Roofing’s quote came in 10-12% under 3 other companies that I contacted."
