Question 1

How much does a roof replacement cost in Windsor & Essex County?

Accepted Answer

Roof replacement costs vary depending on roof pitch, total square footage, number of existing layers to tear off, and your choice of architectural shingles or metal roofing. We provide 100% free, itemized written estimates with transparent pricing and no hidden fees so you know exact costs before deciding.

Question 2

Are your roof inspections and estimates completely free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. A certified local estimator visits your home or facility, performs a comprehensive exterior inspection, checks flashing and ventilation, and delivers an itemized written estimate with zero sales pressure.

Question 3

Do you require large upfront deposits before starting work?

Accepted Answer

No. We outline clear, milestone-based expectations in your written proposal. You do not pay in full until the installation is complete, inspected, and thoroughly cleaned with magnetic sweeps.

Question 4

How long does a typical residential roof replacement take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential roof replacements are completed in just 1 to 2 days, weather permitting. Our dedicated crews handle complete tear-off, synthetic underlayment installation, shingle application, and thorough magnetic nail sweeps on schedule.

Question 5

What signs indicate my roof needs replacement rather than a simple repair?

Accepted Answer

Key indicators include curling or cracked shingles, significant granule loss in gutters, visible decking dips, persistent chimney flashing leaks, or a roof exceeding 15–20 years of age. Our estimators provide photographic findings to help you decide whether a spot repair or replacement is most economical.

Question 6

How do you protect my driveway, flowerbeds, and property during tear-off?

Accepted Answer

We drape heavy-duty tarps from your gutters to the ground to shield siding, windows, and plants from falling debris. After completion, we conduct continuous magnetic nail sweeps over lawns, walkways, and driveways to ensure clean, safe grounds for pets and children.

Question 7

What commercial roofing systems do you install and repair?

Accepted Answer

We install and service commercial TPO, EPDM, and multi-ply modified bitumen flat roofing systems for retail plazas, industrial buildings, warehouses, and municipal properties across Essex County.

Question 8

Can commercial flat roof leaks be repaired without a full replacement?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If the underlying insulation and structural decking remain sound, we can locate membrane punctures, seam splits, or drain flashing issues and apply targeted commercial repairs to extend your roof's service life.

Question 9

Which roofing materials perform best in Southwestern Ontario's climate?

Accepted Answer

High-definition architectural asphalt shingles with heavy fiberglass mats perform exceptionally well against high winds, driving lake rain, and winter freeze-thaw cycles. We also install ice-and-water protective membranes along eaves and valleys to prevent moisture intrusion.

Question 10

Do you verify attic and roof ventilation during an inspection?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Proper airflow between intake soffits and exhaust ridge vents is crucial for preventing heat buildup in summer and ice dams in winter. We ensure ventilation complies with the Ontario Building Code.

Question 11

Are your roofing crews fully licensed and insured in Ontario?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Windsor Roofing Pros maintains $5,000,000 in commercial general liability insurance, and all roofers are actively covered and in good standing with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB).

Question 12

Are your roofers certified for Working at Heights?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every member of our installation crew holds valid Ontario Ministry of Labour Working at Heights certification, uses calibrated harness tie-offs, and adheres to strict jobsite safety protocols.
