we have decided to

Affordable Green
Roof ing as the prime
company for this
special issue.
 SERVICING OLD ROOFS COMPLETELY
WITHOUT REPLACING THE ROOF

Why is this important? Because most home sellers

dont want to replace their roofs and buyers want
peace of mind that the roof is in the best shape it
could be.
In consulting with Affordable Green Roof ing (based out of Toronto), we
have learned that homeowners who are selling their homes can save
around 80% of the replacement cost just by doing a complete roof
maintenance & spray package. Since home inspectors rarely go up on the
roofs themselves, and the new buyer is not aware of prevalent issues on
their roof such as small leaks, cracks, defects, and weather damage. This
company not only extends the lifetime of the roof but helps agents in
easier negotiations. This means no disagreements over the price of the
roof, or a reduction in the sale price. Furthermore, if the roof cannot be
"tuned up" as they say, the roof will be recommended for replacement to
the agent(s). This allows for greater clarity to both the buyer and seller of
his or her home.

As an agent, you want the
best for your client. If that
means saving $10-20k, than
that's more money in his
wallet via your
recommendation!
QUICKER NEGOTIATIONS
Roof cost & negotiations can
be a long and painful
process...but using this
process instead means the
roof is already taken care of
by the seller!

MISSING SHINGLES
FROM WIND, SNOW,
RAIN, AND ANIMALS
We know Canadian roofs go
through the harshest
conditions, and we believe
making your roof last longer
can benef it many parties
3 MOLD, MOLD, MOLD
4 CHIMNEYS & PIPES ARE
Without roof maintenance,
small droplets of water can
drip long term into the attic
causing Mold. This can
cause breathing issues, and
other long term affects on
the people and property.
5 ORIGINAL INSTALLATION
MISTAKES OR
6 MOST ROOFS ARE IN
INCOMPETENCE IS A
COMMON FACTOR
Since the original
installation, most roofs have
never been inspected even
that the shingles were
installed correctly...hoping
for the best... the reality is
most roofs need
maintenance.
VENTS AND NAILS ARE
OFTEN LEAKING
Most roofs have exposed
nails that drip into the attic,
and vents that have
endured 10-15 years of harsh
weather sometimes need
replacing. Avoiding MOLD is
a big issue and can be
adressed now.
OFTERN OVERLOOKED
Chimneys & pipes need
maintenance and are often
forgotten about on the roof.
Leaks can mean mold in the
attice.
NEED OF REPAIR
Its not necessarily the
homeowners fault, because
they cant see it f rom the
ground. But f rom what we
are told, roofs need regular
maintenance as Canada has
some of the harshest
winters. Your roof goes
through so much!

If Every Home Could Add 5, 10, 15 Years to Their Roof... We Could

Save Millions of Tons of Waste Annually
Not only that, but we would be delaying the new production of Asphalt

and consumption).

ROOFING ITEMS THAT
NEED MAINTENANCE
Since most are unaware of what "we-the-roofers" see on a
daily basis when we look at your roof, we want to educate
you as a Realtor so you can also inform your clients the
need for proper roof maintenance every 3-5 years, and
also when listing their homes. These are found on every
roof we see. If its on this list, its on your clients roof!
