Gutters are critical to ensuring your roof’s long-term health, because they allow water to drain off of your roof instead of pooling and causing damage.
In this video, you can learn about the different types of gutter guards. The most basic type is made out of vinyl, but more heavy-duty gutter guards are metal. Gutter guards can be difficult to install, so it’s best to call a professional to help.
If you have any questions about gutter guards or preventing roof damage, call Penfolds Roofing Inc. at (604) 254-4663. We offer a wide range of roofing services and products that can help ensure that your roof lasts as long as possible.

Your home’s roof is one of the only things separating you from the elements. Because roofs are subjected to a great deal of wear and tear, it’s important to periodically check the state of your roof and determine whether it requires maintenance. With good care, asphalt shingle roofs can last 18-30 years, wood shakes will survive for 14-20 years, and more durable roofing materials such as slate and tile can last for up to half a century. Here are some specific elements that can extend the lifetime of your roof:
Water damage is one of the most serious threats to your roof. Sustained exposure to rain can cause algae growth between shingles, which allows moisture to penetrate deeper into your roof, potentially causing significant water damage. While you can periodically remove the algae from your roof, installing copper trimming may be the most effective solution. Copper is a natural algaecide, which means that installing copper trimming will prevent algae from growing in the first place.
Hiring a professional to inspect your roof regularly could save you time and money in the long run. Small leaks and cracks are common roofing problems, and if they are caught early enough, they pose no serious threat to your roof’s integrity. However, if problems are allowed to grow, your only option will be to replace the roof altogether.
- Debris-Free Gutter System
Installing a debris-free gutter system can go a long way toward preventing leaks and elongating the lifespan of your roof. Debris-free gutters include a variety of features to prevent clogging, including a gutter guard that catches leaves and other debris before it falls into your gutter. A clean gutter will allow water to drain from your roof more effectively, preventing leaks and water damage.
While many roof problems can be easily fixed, some roofs are beyond repair. If you need to replace your damaged roof, call Penfolds Roofing Inc. at (604) 254-4663. We offer a lifetime guarantee on our residential roofs, meaning that once you replace your damaged roof, you’ll never again have to worry about paying for a new one!

Metal roofing can be a durable alternative to traditional roofing materials like asphalt. In recent years, the appearance, design, and reliability of metal roofing have increased dramatically. If you are in the market for a replacement roof, consider the following benefits of metal:
One of the most obvious benefits of metal roofing is its durability. Unlike other materials that are susceptible to weather damage, metal roofs are virtually invulnerable to rain and hail, making metal a particularly good choice if you live in an area with inclement weather. In addition to resisting rain and hail, metal roofs also deflect heavy winds and UV rays.
While traditional asphalt shingle roofs require regular maintenance, metal roofs’ durability means you won’t have to worry about paying for constant repairs. Because metal shingles don’t deteriorate over time like other types of shingles, you also won’t have to worry about having to replace your roof. In addition, because metal roofs are designed to reflect heat away from your home, installing metal shingles can reduce your energy costs.
While many people assume that metal roofing has an unattractive appearance, such roofs actually come in a variety of colors and textures that can be modified according to your tastes. Whether your property is commercial or residential, metal roofing can blend seamlessly with the building’s style.
If you have any questions about metal roofing or are interested in replacing your current roof, call Penfolds Roofing Inc. at (604) 254-4663. We offer a wide range of roofing products and services, including routine inspections and full residential roof replacements. Our roofs also come with a lifetime guarantee, meaning that if you let us replace your roof, you’ll never have to worry about paying for maintenance or labor again!
