ROOF REPAIRSHigh winds or fallen trees can cause roof damage that is usually inexpensive and easy to repair. Damaged or torn shingles can be removed and replaced fairly quickly. However, it is sometimes difficult to match the colour of your repair job to the existing roof. We will always try and order shingles that match the existing roof to the original colour as close as possible - but shingles can fade with time and different shingle dye lots can have slightly different shades. While the patch job may not match the rest of the roof - it may give you an additional 10 to 20 years of additional life.
If your roof damage is more extensive but confined to only one side of the roof - partial reroofing can be an alternative to replacing the entire roof. Cheaper In The Long RunAlthough somewhat counter intuitive, years of experience have shown that partial reroofing jobs can sometimes end up being more expensive in the long run.
While only one side of your roof may be showing obvious damage or wear - it is worth considering replacing the entire roof while the roofing team is on site with their equipment, scaffolds, ladders and disposal bins. Depending on the age of your roof - a new roof now may be considerably less expensive than replacing one section now and the balance in a few years. Roof LeaksLeaks can sometimes cause considerable damage before there are any obvious signs. Insulation, walls, ceilings, electrical outlets, floor coverings and personal belongings can all be damaged by moisture slowly seeping into your home. Small leaks have a tendency to grow into larger leaks if not repaired promptly. Mildew, mould and rot can develop into major remediation projects if not addressed as soon as possible.
Leak Detection Specialists Our in depth understanding of how roofing systems are manufactured and installed provides the basis for our rigorous leak detection protocol. |

1. Roof Penetrations
We start by inspecting all of the roof penetrations for problems. Satellite Dishes, chimneys, skylights, solar
panels, vents, fireplaces, electrical and cable conduit and missing or damaged shingles.
2. Roof Design
Different roof designs and slopes have different water shedding properties and respond differently in all four
seasons. We want to know how a roof responds to rain, snow and ice damming.
3. Outer Shell
The roof is not always the cause of a leak. The structure's outer shell or building envelope can also be the
source of your leak. Improper design, installation and damage during construction can allow moisture to
penetrate walls.
After completing a detailed assessment and identifying the source of your leak - we can make recommendations and make the necessary repairs.
Leaks do not always happen at the most opportune times.
We have experienced leak detection and repair specialists available 365 days a year. We are on call 24 hours a day to minimize delays in emergency repair work.
