IS YOUR ROOF WINTER READY? TOP 10 SIGNS YOU’RE IN TROUBLE

IS YOUR ROOF READY FOR WINTER? Many companies don’t know. To find out if your roof is ready to handle the snow, ice and rain this season have a FREE no obligation 100 point roof inspection done by The #1 Firestone MASTER Contractor in Canada and a Firestone Inner Circle Member

Many people do not realize that Firestone (yes the tire company) is one of the largest roofing manufacturers in the WORLD. There are only 250 master contractors in the world, and only 8 in Canada.

Our client list includes: Lowe’s Ontario, Walmart, Mc Donald’s, Winners, Rexall, Shoppers, and Ford to name a few.

Master Contractors ONLY install roofs with 20-30 year warranties that cover EVERYTHING, unlike other roofers who may only give you a few years on material and nothing on workmanship. That means who you buy from and how it’s installed is KEY to making sure you are not throwing your money away.

Master Contractors are JUST as competitive in their quoting so why take a risk? Choose to use a company with a 25 year track record, a fleet of 35 vehicles and one of the best reputations in the business.

A full roof inspection and audit normally runs for about $1500. This is a fully subsidized, no obligation roof inspection.

The 100 point roof inspection includes the following, for example:
• Inspection of deck and walls.
• Interior and Exterior inspection.
• Metal Flashings.
• Cap and Counter flashing.
• Expansion joints.
• Roof Dividers.
• Rooftop Equipment such as HVAC exhaust fans etc

A FEEL GOOD STORY FROM EMPIRE ROOFING

Every year, Empire Roofing Corporation donates over one hundred thousand dollars to charity.  Here is a story of how we helped a client in need and also made a difference.

In this case, an unusual client called.  Glenn Campbell of Toronto had a residential property, with a commercial style roof in need of repair.

Because he was ‘residential’ the client could not find a quality, reputable commercial roofer to help him before finding Empire Roofing.

We took the job, serviced a client in need and requested that instead of paying us, he make a $2500 donation to The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada.

Everyone wins in this situation especially the kids at Make a Wish.  What a great way to start the holiday giving season by helping a client in need and also making a wish come true for a child who might not have many wishes left.

Empire Roofing Corporation provides services and new roofs for clients from 1,000 to 1,000,000 sq feet and sometimes we also make wishes come true.
