Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Replacement
If a repair can extend the life of your roof, your decision is made for you. If the condition demands a replacement, don’t waste time; replace the roof.
The climate and materials will dictate a roof’s life. Also, you need to understand a roofing system is made up of components that don’t wear the same way – some may not last as long as the shingles. It is common for a roof to last 25 years, so bank on that.
Yes, but the solution is not ideal. You may save a few bucks on stripping the old shingles and disposing of them, but in the long run, the extra weight will impact your roof’s structure. Hidden roof problems are liable to go undetected if you shingle over an old roof.
Yes, and no. If your roof isn’t compatible with slate or metal due to the slope, you cannot. In the case of the slate roof, it is a heavily weighted roof, and you must upgrade trusses and rafters first.
A new roof is an expensive proposition. Depending on the needs, materials and labour involved will determine the overall cost. If you add skylights or other decorative details, that will increase the cost as well.
Roof Repairs

AlphaNova Roofing offers both emergency roof leak and non-emergency roof repair services to both commercial and residential roofing in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.
For each roof repair, our roofers will take before and after photos of your roof during the roof inspection to show you exactly what we have done to fix the problem.

For your full peace of mind, we provide a 15-year warranty on home roof replacements. Should any aspect of your repair prove unsatisfactory from a workmanship standpoint, we fix it at no additional charge to you for a period of up to 15 years.
Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Repair
Many factors contribute to a roof’s demise. Climate, weather, UV rays, bacterial growth, hailstones and the loss of granules on the shingles are problems. If you have dark shingles, your roof could degrade faster than lighter coloured ones.
If your roof is at the end of its life, it needs replacement. If it is just a leak, a repair can be enacted. If there is shingle damage, they can be replaced to stop widespread damage.
It depends. Leaks and the cause combined with a roof’s age are the factors to decide the answer. Minor issues require minor repairs; more significant problems require more comprehensive solutions.
Again, that depends on the type of roof – pitch, shingles, and the problems that need attending too. Get quotes from several reputable roofers for more information.
At AlphaNova Roofing, we are on call 24/7/365 for any problems that need immediate attention.
Of course, we encourage customers to contact us when they have roofing problems, and we will supply our expert advice free of charge.

- Roofing Assessment
- No Obligation, No Bias

Roofing Assessment
Before any roofing solutions or prices are discussed over the phone, we conduct a thorough assessment of your roofing system. During this assessment, not only do we address your immediate concerns, but we also take a look at the overall functioning of your entire roof. We do this because oftentimes what appears to be a specific problem in one area turns out to be the direct result of an issue in another part of your roof. We take the necessary time upfront to accurately diagnose the issue. Incorporated into this process is:- Picture taking to show you where the problem areas are
- A brand new service in the roofing industry – aerial measurements that give us a detailed report about the roof’s slope and dimensions, accurate up to 99.9%!
- Brief overview of the roof’s history (i.e. was it installed by the builder or by a roofing company, when was the last time it was repaired or replaced, have you experienced any prior issues?)
- Thorough assessment (of the issue as well as other key components of your roofing system)
- Evaluation of the best solutions moving forward (i.e. what is the solution that is most efficient, cost effective and sustainable in the long-term?)
No Obligation, No Bias
Our roof consulting services are treated separately from the other services we provide. This means that when we assess your situation, deliver an explanation and offer our professional recommendations, there is no expectation or obligation. We are happy to provide an independent consultation or a consultation that also includes the performance of specific roofing installations, repairs or replacements.Knowledge and Experience
Our rich experience and in-depth knowledge always play a key role in our consultation services. In the vast majority of cases, your roofing problem is one we have seen and resolved before.

Vancouver Eavestroughs, Soffit and Fascia
Complete Eavestrough Cleaning, Repair & Installation Service
The fascia is a 1×6 wooden band that is situated vertically behind the eavestrough, running horizontally under the edge of your roof. Usually the fascia wood is cladded by aluminum (called fascia aluminum). This adds an aesthetically pleasing dimension to the eavestrough system, and at the same time, protects the wood fascia from rotting.
The soffit is the name given to the underside of your eaves.
The eavestroughs, or gutters, are located at the base of your roof and are there to collect water and drain it away from your home.
The Importance of a Good Eavestrough System
Eavestroughs play a very important role in the construction of your home. Designed to drain water away from your home, eavestroughs prevent water damage to your shingles, underlayment, bricks and other parts of your roof. It is therefore critical that you have a quality eavestrough system. Soffit fascia eavestroughs not only add a polished appearance to your home, but also improve air circulation in your eaves and attic, prevent animal intrusion and lengthen the lifespan of your roof and your home.
Soffit and Fascia, Eavestrough Installation, Repair & Maintenance
Eavestroughs are available in copper, aluminum and galvanized metal, while soffit and fascia typically come in plywood, vinyl and aluminum. When properly installed, your soffit fascia eavestroughs can add to your curb appeal and also protect your home from unnecessary damage that may result in costly repairs. Although a good eavestrough system works to protect your home in many ways, it is also prone to clogging. When eavestroughs are clogged, they tend to tear away from the fascia and put excess weight on the soffit.
To avoid this, AlphaNova Roofing highly recommends the installation of a gutter filter. This can reduce and even eliminate clogging, thereby helping you avoid big cleaning and repair bills.
Gutter Cleaning Services
Eaves cleaning in Vancouver is a vital service for any homeowner. The cleaning will determine whether an eavestrough repair or eavestrough installation is required when the damage to the gutters is revealed. The process for gutter cleaning is a simple one but extremely important when you think about channeling water away from your home. At AlphaNova Roofing, we ascend your flat or sloped roof, remove all the debris that is impacting the gutters’ ability to drain water.
We thoroughly wash out all the drain spouts to make sure that water will flow freely to the exit points on the ground for dispersal. As a quality control check, we inspect all areas around the gutters to make sure we remove all debris before we issue our seal of approval for a complete gutter cleaning.

Residential Skylights Vancouver
Roof skylights are a beautiful and smart addition to any residential, commercial or industrial property. Available in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and styles, you can choose the skylights that best suit your property or even have them custom made to fit the configuration. Sometimes skylight installations involve more than you may think such as framing, dry walling, painting, flashing and maybe even electrical work, which is why it is important that you hire an experienced professional.
We use the best-in-class products that produce excellent results, and you won’t have a drafty room when we install your skylight. We work with your existing roof to install a skylight that marries seamlessly to the structure keeping your home warm and cozy 12 months a year. If your skylight has had an inferior installation, we at AlphaNova Roofing can balance the scales to provide a repair that will return your skylight to 100 percent working efficiency. We provide a suite of services to assist in the installation and repair of skylights, and we have experience working with many different shapes and sizes of skylights.
Roof skylights allow 100% natural light into your home and are said to provide up to 100% more light than traditional vertical windows. You will find that you use far fewer indoor lights and less heat in the winter, resulting in attractive savings on your energy bills.
When you opt for roof skylights, you and your home gain a whole new perspective on the great outdoors. Instantly, sunlight and starlight are complimentary spectacles to be enjoyed around the clock from inside your home. Skylights are an attractive selling feature that offers excellent resale value, and they can even improve your mood and enhance your personal health by increasing your exposure to natural light.
If installed incorrectly, skylight leaks can be a major cause for concern. To avoid this, purchase premium grade skylights with proper controls for the blinds, all season glazing and weather-tight flashing. Curb mounted skylights tend to be more leak-proof than self-sealing models and can be easily removed during roof repairs for reinstallation later, whereas self-sealing models cannot.

Frequently Asked Questions about Our Skylight Services
There are many skylights on the market, and they come with defined benefits for the purchaser. From domes to glass and a variety of tempered glass and laminates, the choices are infinite. If you are looking for energy-efficiency, check the Energy Star ratings to get the best product for your needs. Vents and shade control are significant factors when selecting a skylight also.
Prices vary, but the most significant cost of the project is the labour. If you have a large skylight installed, a more considerable labour cost will accompany the skylight you install. The second highest cost is the skylight itself, and depending on the number of panes of glass you buy will also drive prices.
There are many places in your home that will benefit from a skylight installation. Kitchens, bathrooms, foyers, and bedrooms could all use more natural light. At AlphaNova Roofing, we are qualified skylight installers; let our experience be your guide when choosing a room for an installation.
Your roofing system will determine your installation. When you hire us at AlphaNova Roofing will measure your roof’s pitch to determine the angle we need to install your skylight.

01. Planning
Like every home renovation project, installing new rain gutters must come with a plan to be successful. It starts with a comprehensive inspection of the fascia and soffit to look for any wood rot before we begin installing the gutters. If wood rot is a problem, we add a new strip, prime it, and paint it to create a flat plane to affix the gutters to.
02. Pre-Assembling
We take measurements to determine where the cuts and where the turns will be so we can connect the downspouts to the gutters. Once we take measurements, we cut the channels to fit and attach them to the flat wood strip under your roof. Rivet the eaves to the wood, and caulk all cuts made to seal them for leaks. It would be best to have approximately a four-inch overlap between sections of gutters to ensure no problems going forward. When lapping the channels to the inside section, make sure that there is a downhill plane. It will stop water from escaping from any seams.
03. Adding Downspouts and Outlets
Once we have factored in where the downspouts and outlets will go, we attach them to the gutters. We turn the gutter upside down, make the necessary incision on the gutter and cut out a downspout hole. Then we attach the downspout before we attach everything to the house.
04. Hanging Gutter Sections
You need to create a small slope to get gravity to move water from the gutters to the downspout. To achieve this goal, drive a nail in a half-inch below the roof. To create the slope, we subtract a quarter of an inch for every 10-feet that water will travel before it hits the downspout. Using a chalk line and level, we will see that the bead in the level is slightly off, and that tells us that the water will flow.
05. Finishing
he last thing to do is to install the flashing and the gutter hangers. The flashing protects your fascia and soffit from water damage because water isn’t running behind the gutters. Pre-bent flashing is inserted under the shingles and roofing paper to prevent ice dams from forming in winter months and is extremely important that this step if administered correctly. Lastly, gutter hangers are necessary to help carry the weight that can accumulate when heavy rains come or run-off from a flash melt of snow in the winter.
Winter
Once Winter hits, roofing perils can pile up higher than the snow! Ice dams and rooftop snow cause leaks and extreme damage to attics. These repairs often come at a high price to pay for those who didn’t prepare beforehand.
Fall
Well, everything falls! This means that your roof is no longer just fighting critters and rain, but is also carrying the weight of load after load of leaves and twigs falling from trees and filling up the gutters and eaves troughs.
The Fall season is a great time to have your roof serviced and assessed thoroughly, in preparation for the Winter season. With just one visit, your AlphaNova Roofing technician can repair, prepare, assess and diagnose the roof and keep it in great condition to bare through the Winter.
Summer
Summers in Vancouver are hot and very humid. Sometimes you may even notice the asphalt covering your streets have gone soft! Extreme heat and humidity can cause both further nesting and shelter seeking by animals and condensation build-up within the attic. Condensation is the number one culprit of mold and rot in the attic. If not properly ventilated, condensation can easily build up inside the attic without any notice and begin the process of rotting your roof and creating the need for a full roof replacement!
Spring
Mother nature is birthing all of her creatures and wild life is thriving everywhere. During Spring, every animal in the kingdom seeks a home in which to nest and produce offspring. Every squirrel, racoon, bird and insect is searching restlessly for a home to host their babies. Any hole, opening, crevasse or nook will do, and your roof/attic couldn’t be a better piece of real estate for these eager property occupants! Spring time is also a period in which most of the year’s rainfall takes place. Precipitation is another major cause for roof perils and often gets the better of old, or already compromised roofs very easily. Another problem we often see in Spring, is the collaboration between critters and whether. Even if your roof is brand new and sparkling, once a racoon or squirrel is able to create so much as a small opening, the wind-driven rainfall which may follow, will instantly bleed its way into the attic and home, causing not only leaks, but also mold, rot and other damage by the time you can even address the first issues.
