Question 1

Does Farrow Built take on small roof repair jobs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Farrow Built handles targeted repairs as well as larger projects. Examples include missing or blown-off shingles, pipe boot replacements, skylight repairs, flashing, roof venting, attic insulation, and leak fixes.

Question 2

How much does a roof repair cost in BC?

Accepted Answer

A roof repair is scoped around the actual problem. Cost can change with the roof area, slope, material, access, the condition behind the visible issue, and whether flashing, decking, insulation, or ventilation work is needed. Farrow Built reviews the condition before recommending a repair scope.

Question 3

What affects the cost of a roof replacement?

Accepted Answer

Roof size, pitch, material, access, tear-off work, decking condition, flashing, insulation, ventilation, and the details around penetrations such as skylights and vents all affect a replacement scope. A property-specific review is the right way to compare options.

Question 4

Should I repair or replace my roof?

Accepted Answer

The right choice depends on the location and extent of the issue, the remaining condition of the roof system, and whether the underlying structure is sound. A targeted repair can be appropriate when the issue is isolated; an assessment helps show when broader work should be considered.

Question 5

Is metal or shingle roofing the right choice for my property?

Accepted Answer

Material selection should be based on the building, roof design, maintenance needs, appearance, budget, and the project conditions—not a single price comparison. Farrow Built can discuss the scope and the factors that change the installed cost of each option.

Question 6

Does a new roof add value to a property?

Accepted Answer

A sound roof can protect the building, improve buyer confidence, and support day-to-day use. The effect on a specific property’s market value depends on the local market, the property, the existing roof condition, and buyer demand. Farrow Built does not provide appraisal or investment advice.

Question 7

Which Farrow Built roof assessment can I book online?

Accepted Answer

Level 1 is a one-time Roof Assessment that can be booked online. It documents the roof’s current condition with findings and photos so a property owner can understand the next step.

Question 8

Why do Levels 2 and 3 require a conversation first?

Accepted Answer

Levels 2 and 3 are priced around the roof profile and service fit. Farrow Built confirms details such as size, storeys, pitch, roof type, and service needs before booking so the program matches the property.

Question 9

Can a roof assessment help me decide between repair and replacement?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The assessment documents roof condition and can support practical planning for targeted repairs, maintenance, or replacement when broader work is warranted.
