Why Quality Roofing Matters in Hamilton

A roof does much more than keep you dry. A properly installed roof preserves your home’s structural integrity, improves energy efficiency and enhances curb appeal. In Hamilton, temperature swings and freeze‑thaw cycles can cause shingles to crack and nails to loosen. High winds can lift poorly fastened shingles, leaving the underlayment exposed to moisture. Investing in quality materials and expert installation helps prevent problems such as:

• Leaks that lead to mould growth and wood rot.
• Ice dams that damage gutters and eavestroughs.
• Heat loss in winter and excessive heat gain in summer.

The roofing services team at Custom Contracting stays up‑to‑date with the latest installation practices and building codes to ensure your roof performs optimally in Hamilton’s challenging climate.

Comprehensive Roofing Services

Whether you need a minor repair or a complete replacement, our Hamilton roofing contractors offer a full range of residential roofing services:

Roof Replacement

If your roof is more than 20 years old or has extensive damage, replacement may be more cost‑effective than ongoing repairs. We’ll help you choose the right material — from durable asphalt shingles to long‑lasting metal or cedar shakes — and we back our workmanship with an industry‑leading 25‑year warranty.

Roof Repairs

Timely repairs extend the life of your roof and prevent small problems from becoming expensive issues. Our technicians repair leaks, replace missing or damaged shingles and address flashing failures around chimneys, skylights and vent stacks.

Preventive Maintenance

Regular inspections and maintenance help homeowners avoid surprises. Our maintenance programs include cleaning debris, checking for signs of wear and making minor adjustments.

Signs Your Hamilton Home Needs a New Roof

Knowing when to schedule an inspection can save you money and stress. Watch for:

• Shingles that are curling, cracked or missing granules.
• Sagging roof decks or staining on interior ceilings.
• Frequent leaks despite previous repairs.
• Excessive moss or algae growth.

If you notice any of these issues, contact our Hamilton roofing team for a free evaluation.

Choosing the Right Roofing Material

Different materials offer varying levels of durability, appearance and cost:

• Asphalt shingles: The most common choice due to affordability and ease of installation. Available in many colours to complement Hamilton’s diverse neighbourhoods.
• Metal roofing: Offers exceptional longevity and reflects sunlight to help keep your home cooler in summer. It’s also environmentally friendly because many panels contain recycled content.
• Cedar shakes: Natural beauty and excellent insulating properties make cedar a premium choice. Properly maintained, cedar roofs can last several decades.
• Flat roofing systems: For modern homes or additions with low‑slope roofs, we offer durable membrane systems with superior water resistance.
