How well does your roof handle snow? In Alberta, we are no strangers to heavy snowfall and high winds that can result in snow avalanches, or roof collapses. While a higher-pitched roof can help to avoid leaks, the incline is not your friend when it comes to metal roofs. So how do you stop the risk of falling snow? The answer: snow guards.
Since 2007, Knights Roofing has looked for opportunities to change the game of roofing. Your roof is one of the most important parts of a home or commercial space. Like a true knight, the roof helps to protect the interior from the cold, dirt, snow, rain, sun, and wind. It prevents health hazards, minimizes potential danger, retains heat, and shields all the precious cargo inside. Ensuring this foundational part of your home and its protection is the first step to providing peace of mind.
Are the cold hands and feet back already? As the summer heat is on its way out, more time spent indoors means we are aware of things going on at home. Drafts and high energy bills this early in the season are a warning sign for a cold winter ahead, but it doesn’t have to be like that. Roof insulation is one of the most common causes of colder homes, and it is becoming a more valuable investment in your home as the weather shifts.
Considering roofing repairs and maintenance? The most common time for booking a re-roofing service is after the winter months. Days of heavy snowfall, ice storms, and wind can take a toll on your roof. Whether this is your first time renovating your roof or you’ve lost count, we want to help you protect your home this year.
From new construction builds to re-roofing, we have something for everyone when it comes to flat-roof commercial buildings. Re-roofing can be quite intrusive for the property owner and tenant as there are people in and around the structure during the roofing process. Knights Roofing takes the utmost care and diligence in the work site’s safety and provides tenants with up-to-date information and progress to help the project go smoothly.
Can you remember the last time you inspected your roof? Commercial properties are required to have a roof inspection performed to uphold a lease, regular maintenance, or when buying and selling properties.
At Knights Roofing, we go the extra mile to help protect your home’s roof system through comprehensive inspections. A roof system is constantly exposed to dramatic changes in temperature, rain, wind, snow, ice and sunlight. This exposure, as well as normal wear and tear, degrades roofing materials. Wood becomes brittle and weak, metal rusts and shingles become worn, all of which can allow water to infiltrate your home causing expensive cosmetic or structural damage.
Which of these apply to you: “I don’t have time to worry about roof maintenance”, “I will worry about it next month”, or “My roof is fine, it doesn’t need maintenance.” While the reasoning varies, the best thing you can do for your business and commercial building is to prioritize roof maintenance.
With temperatures warming up, the winter melt is on its way! Spring is the best time for all things roofing, whether it is an inspection, or repairs and regular maintenance. Did you know that roof maintenance is the most overlooked repair in your home?
