Roof Repair

The first thing I always like to tell clients is that they should always pay close attention to the quality of material required for your job. This in a way is directly proportional to the roof repair Hamilton cost. The reason being that the higher quality materials are obviously more expensive. In addition, with the rise of COVID, we have seen the cost of materials climb consecutively, especially within the Hamilton area as companies are constantly upping their price.

In addition, it is important to note that roof repair Hamilton contractors such as us will charge more for certain materials- depending on the number of labour hours required to install them as per the manufacturers recommendations. For example, when we are re installing flat roofs versus shingles- we take into account the additional material required( the flat roof membrane and the number of plys on the membrane required for the job)
