Got Questions? We Have Answers!

Thinking about roof installation, roof inspection or roof repair and maintenance for your property? Our FAQ section is here to provide clear answers to the most common questions our clients ask. Whether you're exploring options, looking for specialized services like Duradek Installation, or simply want to understand our process, you’ll find all the information you need right here. Explore below to make your roofing project as smooth and informed as possible!

  • How much will my roofing project cost?

    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.



  • How long will my roofing project take to complete?

    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.



  • What areas do you serve?

    Cairns Roofing is based in Palgrave, Ontario, and we proudly serve Palgrave and many neighboring communities in the region. Our service areas include nearby towns and rural communities as well as the larger surrounding region. If you’re located just outside Palgrave and are wondering if we can assist you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are always happy to discuss your location and try our best to accommodate as many local clients as possible.



  • What types of roofing materials do you work with?

    We work with a broad selection of roofing materials to ensure we meet the unique needs and preferences of each client. These include traditional asphalt shingles, durable metal roofing, and a variety of flat roofing systems such as EPDM rubber, TPO, modified bitumen, and the classic tar and gravel method. For decks and balconies, we also offer professional Duradek vinyl deck membrane installation. Our team will be glad to review the advantages and considerations of each material, helping you choose the one that fits your budget, aesthetic goals, and performance requirements.



  • How often should I have my roof inspected?

    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.



  • Can you help with roof repairs or maintenance?

    Absolutely! At Cairns Roofing, we offer comprehensive repair and maintenance services for all types of roofs. Whether you are dealing with a leak, storm damage, mold, missing shingles, or general wear and tear, our experienced technicians can diagnose the problem and provide efficient, lasting solutions. In addition to repairs, we offer maintenance programs that include routine inspections, cleaning, and minor repairs to keep your roof in optimal condition year-round.



  • Do you provide commercial and industrial roofing solutions?

    Yes, we do. Cairns Roofing is equipped with nearly fifty years of experience installing, repairing, and maintaining roofs for commercial and industrial properties including warehouses, factories, offices, and multi-unit buildings. Our team understands the special considerations required for commercial and industrial roofing, such as load-bearing specs, energy efficiency, and minimizing business disruptions. We offer a range of durable roofing systems and maintenance programs tailored specifically to commercial clients.
