Roofing in Enderby

Enderby is north of Salmon Arm on Highway 97A, on the Shuswap River. It is not the cottage row along the big lake. More acreages, farm buildings, and trees along the fence lines. The drive is longer than Canoe or Tappen. Travel can be part of the price, and we say so before we come.

Heavier snow years

Inland from the lake, a heavy snow year sits on the roof longer. Ice at the eave and a wet wall inside is usually an ice dam, not a hole in the shingles. Don't chip it with an axe. Don't walk the roof to knock it off.

A roof rake from the ground, on the lower edge only, is as far as that goes. The rest is on thesnow and ice page. Say if the place was empty through the winter. We'll check the attic too.

Tall firs and moss

Cedars and firs drop needles into the valleys and the gutters, and the north slope goes green. Metal on a shop handles needles better than asphalt, but the gutters still fill. If the asphalt under the moss is cracked and bald, cleaning it is not a new roof.

Tell us what you see from the ground. Moss and packed gutters are the moss page. A shop in panel is themetal page. Screws and washers on exposed-fastener roofs need checking over the years.

What we need before the drive

Enderby is far enough that a wasted trip matters. Give the address, a gate code, and whether the dog is loose. Say asphalt or metal if you know it, one storey or two, and whether water is coming inside right now. A photo from the road helps. If the place is empty, say who can open it.

Say Enderby when you call. If water is in the house, the waiting steps are on theleak page. Typical ranges for the region, not a quote, are on thecost page. We confirm the price before we start. Call +1 (236) 835-2025.
