An eavestrough, often spelled “eaves trough,” as it’s a trough that rests under the eaves of a roof to collect water and debris, is essentially just guttering in the rest of the world. However, in the northern United States and Canada, the items are called eavestroughs, and they’re typically the number-one part of the roof that needs to be repaired.
Unfortunately, most homeowners find that their roofs, either their eavestroughs, shingles, or even plywood under the coverings, needs to be repaired and maintained regularly. This is because the roof is exposed to the elements constantly, no matter the weather, and Mother Nature takes her toll. This leaves people all over the area looking for affordable repairs. But how much do roofing repairs actually cost?
There are two categories here to cover: Eavestrough repairs and regular roof repairs. For a complete Calgary eavestrough installation, start to finish, including labor, the average cost for this is right around $1,600 CAD. This includes all the materials and all the finishing touches in that bill, however.
For other roofing repairs, such as new shingles, the average here to hire professional roofers to get the job done is right around $3,500 CAD. Of course, every individual repair job will depend on the types of materials, the size of the roof, and how much companies charge for labor. So there’s no way to nail it down specifically; these are just averages.
When considering repairs, you may be venturing to the most affordable repairs you can find, which is perfectly understandable. However, you should be aware of the real cost associated with roofing repairs, and that’s in putting off those repairs until which point you need a replacement.
For instance, you might walk outside and see that your eavestrough is sagging in a few places, or that water isn’t draining out as vigorously as before. Though you choose to ignore it, convincing yourself it isn’t that bad. However, after yet another harsh winter, you find the entire system has crashed down, and now you need a complete Calgary eavestrough installation for a replacement, which costs a lot more than the repairs would have.
The same thing holds true with a few leaks that you figure you can plug, or a few loose shingles you decided to ignore. By foregoing roofing repairs and ignoring the minor damage, the damage becomes worse and you end up with no choice but to go for more expensive replacements.
Let’s say that you’ve noticed the eavestrough has sagged in a few places or that it’s not flowing with the same force as when first installed. This is the perfect time to contact professional roofers for repairs. They can show up, assess the situation, and make those minor repairs for only a small percentage of what a complete eavestrough installation in Calgary would cost. The difference here could be a couple of hundred dollars or a couple of thousand. That’s a pretty big difference in pricing options.
The same thing holds true if you’re experiencing any other issues with your roof. Say that you look up one day to notice a few shingles missing. By contacting roofers right away, they can get up there and locate what the problem is. Maybe they just broke free, in which case it’s an easy, affordable fix that will take no time at all. However, when you ignore the problem, the elements eat into the wood, and the rest of the shingles start to come loose and fall away, and you’re left with a disaster.
These are problems that need to be fixed right away. You cannot wait around.
This is the true cost of roofing repairs. So when you notice any issue, contact professional roofers immediately, before it’s too late.
