HOMEOWNER QUESTIONS
What Wikwemikong homeowners often ask
Can metal roofing be installed on an older house?
Often yes, but the existing roof assembly and structure should be assessed before the installation method is chosen.
Will metal roofing change the home’s appearance?
It can, which is why profile, colour, trim width and detailing should be considered together.
What hidden issues may be found?
Contractors may uncover deteriorated decking, old repairs, inadequate flashing or ventilation conditions once work begins.
