Snowy Day for Roofing Contractors

It's a blizzard here in Calgary, well as close to one as we've had since last season, and roofers are likely to be found at their homes, resting for it to break.

Remember: roofs do not often leak during winter time, and that condensation related issues are the #1 culprit of moisture entering a house during cooler temperatures. Sometimes however, ice can indeed backbuild up into a roof system, usually via missing leak barriers under shingles, around chimneys/skylights and in low slope areas covered by steep slope materials.

If you're a home owner who's been "sitting on the fence" as they say, about whether or not to complete your roofing project this year, now is your final chance! Although the weather today disagrees, there is most certainly at least another month of clear, good roofing weather to come before winter hits full force. Even after Mr. Freeze unleashes his icy fury, there are still some warmer weeks during the winter months in which a roofing contractor can work burden free on a quality roof installation.
