FAQs

Welcome to our FAQ page! Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions.

Does Toitures DS only install shingle roofs?

 No, not at all! In addition to shingle roofs, Toitures DS specializes in the installation and repair of metal roofs and flat roofs, including elastomeric membranes. We offer a full range of services to meet your specific roofing needs.

When should I think about having my roof repaired or replaced?

 At Toitures DS Roofing, we recommend considering repair or replacement if you notice signs such as missing, cracked, or warped shingles, shingle granulation in the gutters, moisture stains or leaks inside your home, a sagging roof, or simply if your roof has reached the end of its estimated lifespan (usually between 15 and 25 years for asphalt shingles). A professional inspection is the best way to determine the exact condition of your roof.

How much does a new roof cost?

 At Toitures DS Roofing, the cost of a new roof varies considerably depending on several factors, including the size and slope of your roof, the type of material chosen (asphalt shingles, metal, membrane, etc.), the complexity of the job, and the need for repairs to the underlying structure. To get an accurate price, we offer free, detailed estimates.

What are the different types of roofing materials available?

 At Toitures DS Roofing, we offer a variety of roofing materials to meet your aesthetic and budgetary needs. The most common options include asphalt shingles (the most popular for their value), metal (offering excellent durability and a modern look), and elastomeric membranes (ideal for flat or low-slope roofs). We can discuss the pros and cons of each option to help you make the best choice.

What is the average lifespan of a roof?

 At DS Roofing, the lifespan of a roof depends on the material used and the quality of the installation. Generally, asphalt shingles last between 15 and 25 years, metal roofs can last 40 to 70 years or more, and elastomeric membranes approximately 20 to 30 years. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can greatly extend the useful life of your roof.

Is it good to have my roof insulated?

 Yes. At Toitures DS Roofing, we offer roof inspections. This is an excellent opportunity for our experts to assess the condition of your roof, identify any potential problems, and provide you with clear recommendations and an accurate quote for the necessary work.

How long does it take to install a new roof?

 At Toitures DS Roofing, the time it takes to install a new roof depends on the size and complexity of your roof. For an average-sized home with asphalt shingles, installation can take one to three days. Larger or more complex projects, or those using different materials, may take longer. We will provide you with an accurate estimate once we have assessed your project.

Do I have to take a licensed company?

 Absolutely! At Toitures DS Roofing, we are a fully licensed roofing company and hold all necessary insurance (liability and employee insurance). This gives you peace of mind knowing you're working with qualified and protected professionals who comply with Quebec industry standards.
