Owen Sound Roofing

Owen Sound’s humid continental climate is characterized by cold winters and hot, humid summers. These temperature variations and the moderate annual precipitation will take their toll on any roof over time. Most roofing problems can be solved by repairs, but some call for roof replacement. If the roof has high wear or is severely damaged after a storm, it needs to be replaced. You should also replace it if it has passed its lifespan and if you need to frequently fix leaks due to poor installation.

Roof replacement should be left to professionals with the necessary skills, tools, equipment, certifications, local knowledge of weather and regulations, and partnerships with material manufacturers. At D’Angelo and Sons, we tick all these boxes. We have been installing new roofs in Owen Sound since 1978. We are committed to doing all our projects on schedule, to the highest standards, and with strict adherence to safety regulations. We clean up after all our installation projects.

When debris like twigs and pine needles trap water against the roof, water can start seeping in. Leaks can also be caused by missing shingles (common after strong winds), gaps, missing nails, and cracks on the gaskets around vent pipes. Old roofs are particularly susceptible to leaks since temperature fluctuations make the roofing material brittle and cause it to start cracking. A leak that drips onto laminate or hardwood floors is a slipping hazard. Leaks can also cause structural damage to the wall framing and ceiling joints, lead to mould and mildew growth, and can cause damage to your wall and ceiling.

You may be tempted to fix the leak yourself, but this is not only a safety leak, but you also risk voiding the manufacturer’s warranty. At D’Angelo and Sons, roofing has been our core business for over 40 years. Our roofing technicians have the tools, equipment, and skills necessary to identify and fix leaks quickly, safely, and permanently.

Metal roofs have been used in industrial and commercial buildings for over a century, but more and more Ontario homeowners are now opting for them. The greatest benefit of metal roofs over other options is their longevity. When properly installed, they can withstand high winds and prevent ice accumulation. Metal is non-combustible, making these roofs fire-resistant. Metal is also resistant to mould and animal damage. Metal roofing in Owen Sound comes in different colours and profiles and is aesthetically pleasing. These roofs are also energy efficient, low maintenance, and recyclable.

A lot can go wrong if you decide to install or repair a metal roof yourself. There is a risk of injury if you do not have the proper safety gear. Your workmanship is also unlikely to match that of a trained professional. You risk problems with your homeowner’s insurance provider and voiding the manufacturer's warranty. Roofing companies in Owen Sound have the resources and personnel required to do the job safely, on time, and within budget. At D’Angelo & Sons, we have been installing metal roofs in Owen Sound, ON, for many years. Our Owen Sound roofers are certified and will work within the set budget and timelines.

A flat roof is cheaper to install and maintain compared to a pitched roof. A flat roof is more accessible, and it gives you more space. However, the small slope of between 0 and 3 degrees presents some unique challenges. The most common of these is pooling/standing water. At D’Angelo and Sons, we fix this by re-aligning the slope and clearing debris for better drainage. Other common flat roof problems that we deal with on a regular basis are blistering/alligatoring, leaks, buckling in the membrane, cracking, and flashing pulling away from the corners and edges.

Our roof inspector will determine the solution after careful inspection. We only recommend a complete replacement if repairs cannot work, such as if there is extensive damage or buckling. We only use high-quality roofing materials. We will deliver the materials to your property, fix the problem, and clean up before leaving the site. We take safety and the preservation of the sanctity of your property seriously.

If you have a roofing emergency, you can always reach us on the phone, at our offices, or via email. Our operations, accounting, and administration teams have people on standby all year round. Whether the roofing emergency is caused by an act of nature like heavy rain, high winds, hail, lightning, pest damage, poor roof maintenance, tree damage, or fire damage, our team is here to help.

Avoid DIY restoration as you may get injured, cause more damage, have problems with your homeowner’s insurance provider, and may void the manufacturer’s warranty. As you wait for the pros to get to the site, take the time to gather photo and video evidence, keep your family out of harm’s way, clear the way if possible, and cover your valuables.

Once we get to the site, we will assess the damage and come up with a plan. We travel equipped with all the tools, equipment, and materials that may be required in a roofing emergency. We will work as quickly as possible without compromising on safety.
