Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing the right company to install a new roof for you is the very important. Here are some fact you should know before making a decision.

There are several different signs that you need a new roof…..

if there is a lot of cracking on the shingles it is a sign of deteriation
if the shingles are buckling
if the tips of the shingle are curling, this also causes a concern for winds getting under the shingles and tearing them off the roof.

Can I apply new shingles over existing shingles?

We do not recommend more than one layer of shingles however by city codes you are allowed. It will depend on the condition of the existing roof. If the roof has one layer of shingles that are laying flat and the deck is in good condition, the existing shingles typically do not have to be removed. Check with local officials to make sure that building codes are being followed.

What is the difference between fibreglass and organic shingles?

The difference between fibreglass and organic shingles is the type of mat that is used in the production of each shingle. Organic mats, which are used to make organic shingles, are composed primarily of cellulose fibres derived from selected recycled paper or converted wood chips. On the other hand, fibreglass mats which are used to make fibreglass shingles, are composed of glass filaments of various lengths and orientations, bonded together with inert binders. Both types of shingles are made with ashphalt. Fibreglass shingles have been found to outlast organic shingles in even the harshest climates.

What is buckling?

Buckling is defined as ridges that form along the length of the shingle, with the ridge spacing usually coincidental with deck board joints. These ridges are caused by the shingle being distorted from the movement of the deck. Buckling can occur from any deck type, but is more common with board decks, and less common on plywood decks. Buckling can occur when a new roof is installed, even if the old roof did not show any buckles, when the roof is stripped, the deck may be exposed to moisture, causing dimensional changes in the supporting lumber. Therefor it is important to re sheet any areas where there is a potential for buckling.

Do I, and when do I need to do maintenance on my roof?

Every spring it is recommended to check your roof for missing shingles caused by harsh winter winds. Every fall you should have your eavestrough and downpipes cleaned and cleared of any depris. years Every 5-7 it is recommended to do a maintenance check on your whole roof. All flashing areas, and areas where caulking has been applied should be checked for cracking.

lf I have a shingle concern, what should I do?

You will be required to submit a copy of a proof of purchase (your contractor invoice) to the manufacturer. After verifying the purchase a package will be sent to you requesting more information.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently hired Capela’s to replace the roof on my house, and I cannot recommend this company highly enough.

From the very beginning, the process, products, pricing, and timeline were explained clearly, discussed thoroughly, and agreed upon and they delivered on their word in every respect. Their punctuality was exceptional; they were literally on time down to the minute. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and they stayed on track with the timeline they had committed to.

What impressed me most was the care and attention to detail. They carefully moved anything that needed to be relocated, treated my property with respect, and returned everything exactly where it had been. It was obvious that they took as much pride in protecting my home as they did in the quality of the roofing work itself.

Their pricing was fair, the quality of the products was excellent, and the workmanship was exceptional. From start to finish, I genuinely could not have asked for a better experience.

A roof replacement is a significant investment, and choosing the right company can feel daunting. Capela’s Roofing gave me complete peace of mind throughout the entire process, and I now have the confidence of knowing that one of my biggest investments is protected for many years to come.

A sincere thank you to the entire Capela’s team for your hard work, professionalism, attention to detail, and for providing me with a positive experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend Capela’s Roofing to any homeowner looking for quality work and a company that truly stands behind its word.

Sidenote: I did interview 3 other local companies and what really stood out for me was that Silvestri was the only one who didn't use high pressure sales/scare tactics. His professionalism and integrity is what sold us on this company.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a few different quotes before choosing Capela's and it was the right choices. The crew alway kept us informed on issues that couldn't be seen till the old roof came. Some of the issues were rotted wood and the chimney bricks were crumbling from weather other the years. They came up with a plan and adjusted on the fly. The roof only took a day and a half and looks great. Thanks Capela's, I will be recommending you guys to family and friends. Cheers.
