Who writes these articles?
The Nagra Roofing team, from work we have actually done on Calgary roofs. They are written for homeowners rather than for other roofers.
Can I rely on an article instead of having my roof looked at?
The articles are here to help you understand what you are seeing and ask better questions. They are not a substitute for someone inspecting your particular roof — two roofs with identical symptoms can need very different work.
The inspection is free, so there is little reason to guess: request an estimate.
How often do you publish?
Irregularly, and more often around the seasons that matter here — before hail season, and ahead of the first freeze.
I have a question no article covers.
