Denali Exteriors

The roofs on our homes are important functionally and aesthetically. At Denali Exteriors, we strive to educate Winnipeg homeowners about both of those, with educational articles and our free quotes.

Functionally, roofs are the first line of defense against the outside elements, but are specifically crucial in the role of water-leak prevention. A properly installed roof will guard your house’s infrastructure from getting water damage and all the water-related consequences that go along with water damage.

Along with that, the roof’s eavestroughs need to be problem-free in order to do its job of carrying water away from your house. Some common problems we face are cracking from the extreme temperature changes we see here in Winnipeg, along with clogged gutters from all the tree-lined streets. Cleaning your gutters can be as easy as grabbing a ladder and scooping out the gunk with your hands, and then later cleaning it thoroughly with a high pressure stream. But as we’re not all spring chickens, or possibly have mobility issues, there are professional Winnipeg eavestroughs companies that can do it for you. Of course, you also have the option of investing in gutter guards, which will hopefully prevent your eavestroughs from getting clogged in the first place.

The fascia and soffit are equally as important for providing a well-maintained roofing infrastructure.

Aesthetically, your roof is just as important as functionally. For example, if you’re looking to sell your home, you’ll sell it a lot faster and for more money if you have a quality roof on top. Potential home buyers can be put off when they see damaged shingles and may wonder if that leads to bigger, unseen problems under your roof.

But as well, your neighbors and community in general are important to consider. No one likes having a house with a damaged roof besides theirs, as it could drive the value of their own home down. A lot of people look at the neighboring houses when buying a home.

At Denali Exteriors, we know that your roof is a major cost in the upkeep of your home. That’s why we want you to be informed and educated when you decide it’s time to replace your roof. As your roofing resource, we will provide you with expert, non-biased information and a reasonable free quote.

How much does a new roof cost?

There are essentially three major factors in determining how much a new roof costs: the cost of material; the cost of labour; the angle of of your roof. There are other factors as well, such as tearing off the old shingles, disposal, and special requirements (i.e. is there a pool right beside the roof work area where workers have to be extremely careful?). Unless you are experienced in roofing, we recommend that you hire a professional Winnipeg roofing company, such as Denali Exteriors, as while it will be more expensive than doing it yourself, you will get shingle and workmanship warranties.
