Roof Replacement Services
A roof replacement is the ultimate solution when repairs are no longer sufficient to protect your home. Remember Me Roofing provides reliable and professional roof replacement services in Ottawa, ensuring your home’s safety and enhancing its value.
Benefits of Roof Replacement
Over time, roofs endure significant wear and tear from weather, aging, and environmental factors. If your roof is beyond repair, replacing it offers several advantages:
Enhanced Protection
A new roof provides a robust shield for your home, eliminating vulnerabilities that can lead to costly issues like leaks, mould growth, and structural damage. With modern materials and expert installation, a roof replacement ensures your home is well-protected against harsh weather conditions, giving you peace of mind for years to come.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Modern roofing materials are designed to provide superior insulation, helping your home retain heat during Ottawa’s cold winters and stay cool in the summer. This improved energy efficiency reduces strain on heating and cooling systems, ultimately lowering your energy costs while creating a more comfortable living environment.
Boosted Home Value
A newly replaced roof enhances your property’s curb appeal and increases its overall market value. Homebuyers are more likely to invest in a property with a well-maintained and recently updated roof, making it a smart investment if you’re planning to sell in the future.
Long-Term Savings
Investing in a new roof reduces the need for frequent maintenance and costly repairs over time. With durable materials and a professional installation, you can enjoy the benefits of a reliable, low-maintenance roof that protects your home while saving you money in the long run.
Our Roof Replacement Process
At Remember Me Roofing, we know that getting your roof replacement in Ottawa done right is essential to protecting your home. That’s why we follow strict protocols and uphold high-quality standards, giving you complete peace of mind that your roof has been installed properly.
Here’s a step-by-step look at how we handle shingle roof replacement:
Step 1: Tearing Off the Old Roof
The first step in replacing your roof is carefully removing the old shingles, underlayment, nails, and flashing. To protect your home, we cover sensitive areas like landscaping and exterior features to prevent damage during the removal process.
Step 2: Inspection and Decking Replacement
Once the old materials are removed, we thoroughly inspect the roof’s structure to check for issues like rot or water damage. If we find any damaged decking, we replace it with high-quality materials to ensure a strong, stable base for your new roof.
Step 3: Installing the Drip Edge and Underlayment
Next, we install a durable drip edge—typically made of aluminum or PVC—to guard against water seepage. We also add a weather-resistant underlayment over the roof decking to provide extra protection from moisture.
Step 4: Adding Leak Barriers
For areas where roof planes meet, such as valleys and junctions, we install leak barriers. These specialized materials prevent water from pooling and seeping into vulnerable areas, reducing the risk of leaks.
Step 5: Installing New Shingles
The new shingles are then installed, beginning with starter shingles to ensure proper water runoff and alignment. We also add flashing around walls, chimneys, and other gaps to prevent water intrusion, ensuring your roof is watertight.
Step 6: Finishing Touches
To complete the roof replacement, we install ridge cap shingles, which protect the roof’s peaks while enhancing its appearance. Finally, we clean up thoroughly, leaving your property spotless and your roof looking brand new.

6. What precautions should I take when roof replacement is going on?
There are several precautions that Remember Me Roofing recommends before we begin the replacement work in your home:
- We recommend covering up your attic against the dust and other elements that will likely come through the roof. This is because we remove the old shingles to replace them with new ones, leaving your roof open for a while.
- If you have a patio or deck, we recommend clearing it during the roof replacement. If there are items you can’t move, consider covering them with a tarp.
- Cover your landscape and garden with a tarp to avoid damage from roofing debris.
- Move your vehicles to a secure location to protect them from accidental scratches.
Following these precautions will help us ensure that we provide seamless services and that your property and belongings are not damaged.
