Your project in the canton of Aargau

Lying between Zurich and Basel, Aargau is crossed by the Aare, the Reuss and the Limmat, with the Rhine forming its northern edge. Its small historic towns include Aarau, known for its painted eaves, Baden with its old town above the Limmat, as well as Lenzburg and Zofingen. Around these centres, many residential districts of detached houses, rental blocks and newer estates have grown up, particularly in the Freiamt and along the main transport routes. The canton is German-speaking, but you are welcome to write your request in English. In the old town centres, work on façades or roofs may be subject to rules, so check with your municipality before setting a schedule. Give the municipality, postcode and building access, especially for work in the old centres of Aarau or Baden.

  • For a village house along the Aare or the Reuss, mention whether the cellar has ever had damp problems.
  • In an old town such as Baden or Aarau, explain how easily a works vehicle can reach the building.
  • If you live in a recent condominium building, state whether the other co-owners have already given their agreement.

Roofing work in the canton of Aargau

In Aargau, roofs are shared between farmhouses on the Plateau, terraced houses and rental buildings in the small towns. In Aarau, the older buildings of the old town carry flat tiles and narrow dormers whose repair or replacement should be assessed with the applicable exterior constraints. Around Lenzburg and in the villages of the Seetal, many barns have their large roofs redone, sometimes to fit solar panels or to insulate a loft converted into living space. Summer storms with hail regularly leave cracked tiles that are best spotted quickly. If the new roof will be visible from the street, your Aargau municipality will tell you which steps to take.

  • After a hailstorm, have the tiles and metal flashings checked from scaffolding or an aerial platform rather than climbing onto the roof yourself.
  • If you are converting the loft of an Aargau barn, ask for the underlay and ventilation to be reviewed at the same time as the insulation.

Frequently asked questions

What should I check before a roof renovation in Aargau?

Look for signs of wear such as broken tiles, moss, leaks or damp patches in the attic. Consider improving the roof insulation at the same time. Ask the roofer how the site will be secured and how the house will be protected from rain during the work.

How can roof condition be described without climbing onto it?

Use available roof documents and photographs taken from the ground or a safe interior position. Note visible broken tiles, moisture or recent storm damage. Ask the roofer to inspect the covering and underlying layers; do not walk on the roof to establish the scope yourself.

What should I compare in roofer quotes?

Compare covering, underlay, battens and roof details against the same area. Clarify access equipment, waste removal and temporary protection from weather. Identify roof windows, insulation and sheet metal work separately, and ask how adjoining trades and retained parts are coordinated.

How should I prepare for the roofer visit or work?

Provide attic access information and earlier roofing records. Explain occupied areas and external restrictions affecting equipment. Agree how the building will be protected during opening of the roof, keeping occupants away from unsafe water damage and leaving roof access to the work team.
