What do you do when your new roof doesn’t look how you’d imagined?
This situation is a literal nightmare for homeowners who have just spent thousands of dollars on a new roof.
To avoid this problem, there are several strategies contractors use to give customers a sense of what their roof will look like after it has been re-shingled. Brochures and pictures (online and off), as well as shingle samples, can both help you envision what your shingles will look like. Established contractors will even have a database of homes that have used the same shingles that you can drive past to have a look at.
But none of these solutions provide the ability to see what YOUR home will look like after being reshingled.
Introducing the IKO Roof Viewer
This is where the IKO Roof Viewer tool comes in. This tool allows you to swap different shingle types onto pictures of real homes, effectively letting you design your own roof without any of the risks of actually having a new roof installed. The Roof Viewer has a number of features that let you see exactly what your new roof will look like:
Choose from several model homes, or upload pictures of your own
From traditional 3-tab shingles to architectural, view, compare and contrast the entire IKO shingle catalogue, swapping out colours and styles with the click of a button.
View side-by-side comparisons so you can really see the difference between different shingles.
Click here to begin using the IKO Roof Viewer tool and start designing your new roof today. And, when you’re ready, call Edmunds Home Improvements at 905-472-0120 today to find out how we can help you find the new roof you’ve been looking for.
