Finding a contractor to take on the responsibility of installing a new roof on your home can be overwhelming! Here are some red flags to avoid when searching for a residential roofing contractor. (These are general recommendations and are not legal advice!)

Avoid Contractors who
1) Solicit their contracts by going door to door.
2) Demand a large down payment for materials before work begins.
3) Refuse to give you a written contract that outlines the work they will and will not be doing.
4) Provide only a PO box as their business address.

Do not hesitate to receive written estimates from more than one company!

Human Rights Day is celebrated every year on December 10 — the day on which the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.
The Declaration states that each person is entitled to fundamental rights, including the right to equality, and the right to life, liberty and security of the person. (from canada.ca)

Here are a few of the most common ways for water to find it's way into your home from a roof with shingles:

• Flashing (thin pieces of metal) has cracked
• Broken or improperly sealed shingles
• Damaged vents or chimney
• Ice Dam buildup
• Skylight installation issues
• Clogged gutters
• Condensation in your Attic

The most important part of repairing a leak is to know the source and cause. When an accurate pathway has been investigated it is time to perform a complete repair (or an intermediate repair with a plan to perform a complete repair or replacement soon). Being accurate at the start saves time and money.
