What to check before hiring a roofing / waterproofing

Check gutter and downpipe condition — clean them annually before the rainy season
Request written labor warranty and manufacturer warranty information for materials
Insulate the roof if it hasn't been done — it reduces energy bills by 20-30%
Perform an annual roof inspection, ideally in spring and autumn
Don't postpone minor repairs — ignored infiltration can cause costly structural damage
Request a written assessment report before deciding between partial repair and full replacement

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my roof needs repairs?

Clear signs include: moisture stains on the ceiling, visible leaks during rain, missing or displaced tiles, blocked or damaged gutters, and mold smell in the attic. A preventive inspection every 2-3 years is recommended.

What types of membranes are used for flat roof waterproofing?

The most common are bituminous membranes (torch-applied or self-adhesive) and polymer membranes (TPO, EPDM, PVC). Bituminous membranes are more affordable and widely used. Polymer membranes are more durable and lighter, but more expensive.

How long does flat roof waterproofing last?

A quality bituminous membrane lasts 10-20 years if properly applied and thermally protected. Polymer membranes can last 25-40 years. Periodic inspections and timely patching of cracks significantly extend lifespan.

Do I need a permit for roof repairs?

Current repairs and maintenance don't require permits. If you modify the roof truss structure, replace covering over a large area, or add dormers, a building permit may be required. Check with the Gorj City Hall.

What's better: ceramic tiles, metal tiles, or sheet metal?

Ceramic tiles are classic, durable (50+ years), but heavy and more expensive to install. Metal tiles are lightweight, varied in design, and cheaper. Sheet metal (standing seam or panels) is the most economical solution but can be noisy during rain without proper insulation.

How long does a new roof installation take?

It depends on surface area and complexity. A standard house (100-150 sqm of roof) can be covered in 5-10 working days. Including the roof structure or thermal insulation, the timeframe can extend to 2-4 weeks.
