FAQs

The cost of a roofing project can vary significantly and is determined by several factors, including the size and shape of your roof, the roofing materials you choose, the scope and complexity of the work involved, and any necessary repairs or preparation. 

For example, a simple repair may cost much less than a full roof replacement with premium materials. At Cairns Roofing, we believe in offering honest and transparent pricing, which is why we provide free, no-obligation estimates. Once we assess your property and understand your needs, we'll offer a detailed quote so you know exactly what to expect from the start.

The timeline for completing a roofing project is influenced by various factors such as the size of your home or building, the extent of the roofing work required, the type of materials being installed, and local weather conditions. Minor repairs might be completed within a day, while a full roof installation or replacement may take several days to a week. During your consultation, our team will assess your needs and provide you with an estimated timeline. We pride ourselves on clear communication and will keep you updated at every stage to minimize any disruptions.

We recommend that you have your roof professionally inspected at least once a year, preferably during spring or fall. Regular inspections help identify issues such as damaged shingles, flashing failures, or blocked drainage before they develop into bigger, more costly problems. Additionally, it’s a good idea to schedule an inspection after severe weather events, such as strong winds, hail, or heavy snowfall, as hidden damage may not be immediately obvious. Routine inspections help prolong your roof’s lifespan and protect your investment.
