Benefits of Shingle Roofing

Cost-Effective Roofing Solution

Asphalt shingles offer homeowners an affordable roofing option without sacrificing quality or durability. They are widely recognized for their cost-effectiveness, making them a popular choice for those on a budget. Despite their lower price point, asphalt shingles provide reliable protection and long-lasting performance, ensuring excellent value for your investment.

Variety of Styles to Match Your Home

Asphalt shingles come in a wide range of colours, textures, and designs, allowing homeowners to find the perfect match for their home’s aesthetic. Whether you prefer a classic look or a modern flair, shingles can be tailored to complement your property. This versatility makes them a stylish and functional choice.

Durable Performance for Ottawa’s Climate

Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, asphalt shingles are an excellent option for Ottawa’s unpredictable climate. They perform well against rain, snow, wind, and even ice, ensuring your home remains protected year-round. This durability makes asphalt shingles a dependable roofing material for homeowners in the region.

Easy Maintenance and Repairs

One of the biggest advantages of asphalt shingles is their low maintenance requirements. They are easy to clean and inspect, and if damage does occur, repairs are straightforward and cost-effective. This simplicity makes asphalt shingles a practical option for homeowners seeking a hassle-free roofing solution.

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.

Excellent company! Did not charge me more than the estimate. It took them four days to do my roof. I have a big bungalow with lots of different peaks for cathedral ceilings. There is also a huge loft on the second floor, also with a cathedral. It was a difficult job and they did a fantastic one.

Had a fantastic experience with Remember Me Roofing. Ben and Andrew replaced a few missing roof shingles at our house. We were happy with their work and how efficient they were. Rusty was so easy to communicate with. He promptly provided a quote and had his team come out the same day. We would gladly use them again!

I just had Remember Me Roofing do my roof and a few neighbours.
As i am from Scotland and worked for a Foundation Construction House Builder as a draftsperson for 7 years i know a thing or to about roofs. The team that Jesse the coordinator for the company has working for him are such nice guys. Polite to the customers, will go over and above to make sure there work is up to the best standard they can. What workers would work from 7 am to 8.30 pm. to make sure that it is done well. These guy's do. not have to go to this time as the company is a 7 to 5 schedule.
But with Jesse and the guy's working together it's not boss and crew but family. I have no hesitation in recommending them to any one that has to get there roof replaced.

We couldn’t be more pleased with the attention to detail, clean up afterwards and excellent workmanship by Ben our roofer. He was so pleasant to work with. After the job, our property was left perfect. Thank you Remember Me Roofing for hiring such a great guy. We will definitely be recommending you to our friends!

Ben did an excellent job on my shed, very precise, and meticulous...just like I prefer a good tradesman to be. He then took his time and did a very thorough clean up and left my property cleaner than it was when he arrived! A big thanks goes to Ben!!

From the first interaction (an onsite visit to make detailed observations, build a thorough quote and explain options and work processes) through to the last day of work and subsequent billing, I’ve greatly enjoyed dealing with Remember Me Roofing. They did a great job on my roof as well, and I fully understand why my friend referred them to me. I will do the same for anybody I know looking for a roofer. They are professional, kind, hard working, and worth the cost/investment.

We worked with Jesse on replacing some shingles that were lost during a wind storm in the winter, and then replacing the entire roof this spring. Jesse and his team provided excellent service throughout. We were impressed with the workmanship and the cleanup during and after. We appreciated Jesse coming to the house to explain the process and provide an estimate. We would recommend Remember Me Roofing to others!

Remember Me Roofing did an excellent job replacing my roof and eavestroughs. Everyone who worked on this project was professional, efficient, and took pride in their work. I thought the staff who came out to work on site were exceptional. There was good communication with the office throughout the project. They went above and beyond what I would have expected. I chose the right company.

The team we needed! I had seen a RMR trailer in front of a neighbours' place, and contacted the company via their website as we needed to replace our roof. Ken came out for a consultation and gave us the (reasonably priced) estimate and Jesse was our project manager. They were both knowledgeable and amicable, kept us updated throughout the process and answered every question we had. The crew was set back halfway through the job due to November darkness and rain, but got it done ASAP once the weather cleared up! A minor damage was caused to our nextdoor neighbours' property during the work, for which RMR quickly apologised and promptly worked on a solution that suited our neighbours.

They are truly professional, detail oriented, hard working. Replaced shingles with care, well equipped . I was searching roofers and affordable quote, comparing with other company. Found best price from RMR. Only thing I faced delay, due to bad winter weather; depends on mother nature. Wonderful customer care, got good warranty. Highly recommended.

Our experience with Remember Me Roofing, to replace our garage roof, was excellent at all stages. Right from first contact with Ken who was knowledgable, professional and timely in responding to questions, and his quote was very competitive (we had quotes from 4 other companies). The work was completed on time and as promised - the crew was skilled, efficient and did a good clean up job after they finished. Follow up communication with the admin team also great. Without question, would use RMR again.

Many thanks to Jessica in the office for answering my many calls and questions prior to the work being completed. I would highly recommend Remember Me Roofing to anyone!”

What a great experience. From the inspection through the quote process to the hands on labour Remember Me Roofing made the project as painless as possible. It started with a walk around the outside of the house with some closer inspection of the soffits and fascia and the roof overall, using ladders and getting up on the roof by Jordan the inspector. Every question I had was met with a respectful, knowledgeable answer that left me feeling that my house was in good hands. He followed promptly with an emailed quote with all the necessary details that seemed reasonable for the job. I then got an email about the potential start date with another email close to the that time to confirm that it worked with my schedule. The work crew consisting of Chris P, Carlos, Esteban and Luis arrived on time as scheduled and were friendly, courteous and skilled. Even my neighbors commented on how professional, safety conscious and hard working the team was. They were respectful of the area they worked in and left the place clean of any debris and very tidy both daily, after working and when the whole job was done. My soffits and fascia look lovely, all the eves trough was reinstalled and look good as new. Thank-you for a job well done. I will be calling Remember Me Roofing first for any future roofing needs.

We had Remember Me roofing do our roof several years ago and were well satisfied at that time. In fact one of the crew remembered working on that job.
We just had our eavestrough replaced by them and again we are very happy with the job.
They started the jog as scheduled , were very efficient and the job site was always neat and organized.
Collin and the crew were very accommodating
I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone.

Chris W and his team recently completed roofing work on our heritage home condo. His attention to, and quick thorough responses to our many questions went beyond expectation. I felt confident in my understanding of the work needed to be done.

The workmanship and professional teamwork atmosphere was remarkable. The completed work stood the test of torrential downpours, hail and high winds shortly after completion! I highly recommend Remember Me Roofing for their services which truly reflect a "people-first culture" (as per their website).

Very professional company that cares about their workmanship and quality of install. From our initial meeting, it was clear they differentiated themselves by strong customer service and transparency, but most of all, they went above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction.

Special thanks to Chris D our sales rep, Jesse our service manager, Sebastian, Dennis and Scott who all worked very hard in scorching hot conditions to ensure we got a top notch roof that looks great.

Ottawa needs more contractors and companies like Remember Me Roofing. Would definitely recommend for your roofing needs.

We had some roof damage in the late fall. When we contacted Remember me Roofing they offered to repair it before winter. We were replacing our roof in the spring. They showed up at the date specified. They setup to do the work I found the crew very courteous and polite when I asked questions about the process. They did an incredible job on installation and cleanup. I highly recommend this company.

Remember Me Roofing do more than roofing and do it very well. I hired them to replace the vinyl siding on the back side of our house as well as the eavestrough all around. I was most impressed with not only their expertise but also their positive attitude (despite having to deal with the first snowfall of the season). The work they did was top notch and the entire crew was a pleasure to deal with. I would not hesitate to hire them again for any future work.

After the storm in May of 2022, I decided to replace my roof. I was going to replace it in 2024 but decided to move up a new roof for piece of mind. I usually call and get 3 quotes for a new project but I had a feeling that roofers were going to be be busy this year so I called 7 roofers based on reviews and friend recommendations. When I called Remember Me Roofing to set up an appointment to get a quote, I had to wait 3 weeks to get someone out to see my house. That didn't surprise me as I knew they would be busy after the storm. Jordan from Remember Me Roofing showed up on time and presented with me with an excellent package of information on roofing materiel as well as my quote. He was also only 1 of 2 companies out of the seven I called to actually go up on my roof at the time of the quote to actually see the condition of my roof. That impressed me greatly. After reviewing all my quotes, I decided to go with Remember Me Roofing. When the crew showed up to replace my roof, they were clean, quite and fast and no loud music to drive my neighbours nuts. The finished product looks amazing and I am exactly happy with the result. one other thing, they actually have an office you can visit and actually talk to a real person. Remember Me Roofing is not a "Chuck in a truck" operation. I went with GAF for my roof, Remember Me Roofing is a GAF Master Elite Contractor, which means you get a better warranty from GAF when Remember Me Roofing installs or replaces your roof. All in all a good experience and would use them again.

We hired Remember Me Roofing to do our eavestroughs. They were excellent! Very communicative, professional, fast on the install, and net their installation commitments. A communication issue arose after the installation and they were prompt to rectify it. I’d certainly work with Remember Me Roofing again.

Chris and the team at Remember Me Roofing were absolutely amazing to work with. The level of professionalism was incredibly high, and they were extremely responsive throughout the entire process...from the initial stages of acquiring an estimate up to when the roof was installed. They helped us with both an emergency roof repair as well as a new roof installation. The new roof looks incredible and we could not be happier. Thank you so much for making something very stressful into an enjoyable experience. A++++++ I would highly recommend Remember Me Roofing, no hesitation.

Shingles are rectangular tiles made from various materials, such as asphalt, fibreglass, wood, composite, or even silicone (solar). Metal shingles are made from steel or aluminum, and you can also find them in copper.

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.

7. How long does a roof replacement take?

The timeline for a roof replacement depends on factors such as the size of your roof, its complexity, and weather conditions. On average, most residential roof replacements take 1–3 days to complete. Larger or more intricate roofs may take longer. We’ll provide a clear timeline during your consultation so you know what to expect.

8. What is the cost of a roof replacement in Ottawa?

The cost of a roof replacement varies based on several factors, including the size of your roof, the type of materials you choose, and the complexity of the installation. Additional elements, such as repairs to the roof decking or upgrades like leak barriers, can also impact pricing. For an accurate estimate tailored to your home, contact us for a free consultation.
