Regular inspections every 2–3 years help catch issues early.

Roofing warranties in Canada come in two types. The manufacturer's material warranty covers defects in the shingles or membrane — typically 25–50 years for quality products, but often prorated.

In Glenora, ask your contractor to provide both warranties in writing before work begins. Some manufacturers offer enhanced warranties when you use a certified installer.

In most cities in {province}, a building permit is required for a full roof replacement, especially if you are changing the roof structure or adding layers.
