Most homeowners purchase only a few roofs during their lifetime, but the roofing system they choose can affect their home for decades. That is why we created the ROOFNOW™ YouTube channel—to provide straightforward roofing education for homeowners across Ontario.
Roofing can be confusing. Homeowners hear claims about lifetime warranties, 50-year products, unusually low starting prices, metal-roof gauges, exposed fasteners, concealed fasteners, underlayment, ventilation and different installation methods. Every roofing contractor seems to offer something different, making it difficult to know what questions to ask or how to compare quotations properly.
With more than 30 years of roofing-industry experience, ROOFNOW™ creates educational videos designed to help homeowners understand what they are purchasing before signing a roofing contract.
Our videos explain important roofing subjects, including:
• Asphalt shingles versus metal roofing • Exposed versus concealed fasteners • Direct-to-deck versus wood-strapped installations • 26-gauge versus 28-gauge steel roofing • Interlocking metal shingles • Slate-style and cedar-shake metal roofing • Standing-seam metal roofing • Plastic versus steel roof ventilation • Ridge vents and Maximum steel ventilators • Underlayment and ice-and-water protection • Attic ventilation and condensation • Prorated and non-prorated warranties • Metal-roof prices and misleading low-price advertising • Roofing installation methods • Roof-deck inspection and preparation • Ontario snow, ice, rain, wind and temperature conditions • Questions homeowners should ask roofing contractors
We discuss the advantages, limitations and potential concerns—not simply the marketing headlines.
Why does roofing education matter?
An informed homeowner is much harder to mislead.
Before accepting a roofing proposal, you should understand what materials will be installed, how the roofing system will be fastened, how the roof deck will be inspected, how water and condensation will be managed, how the attic will be ventilated and what the warranty actually covers.
Our goal is not to pressure homeowners into making a fast decision. Our goal is to give you the knowledge required to ask better questions, compare roofing proposals properly and select the right roofing system for your home, budget and long-term plans.
