Product & workmanship expectations
To ensure the highest quality and longevity of your renovated roof, we follow a meticulous installation process that includes manufacturer-specific materials and expert craftsmanship.
As a base layer, we utilize a manufacturer-specific starter premium shingle, from the Certainteed Landmark series. This ensures a solid foundation for your roof.
The remaining roof surface is covered with manufacturer-specific synthetic underlayment. This underlayment provides an additional layer of moisture protection and enhances your roof's durability.
In critical areas such as the eaves, valleys, side walls, plumbing stacks, chimneys, and bath/kitchen exhaust vents, we install manufacturer-specific ice and water shields. These shields offer exceptional protection against water infiltration.
For all areas, we use 26-gauge step flashing, providing secure and reliable flashing at the junction between the roof and the vertical surfaces.
Our custom wall and chimney flashing is meticulously crafted using 26 or 24-gauge materials, ensuring a precise fit and effective sealing in these areas.
To prevent water damage and enhance your roof's aesthetics, we install a new 26-gauge drip edge/eave starter. This drip edge acts as a barrier, redirecting water away from roof edges.
For valley installation, we utilize 26-gauge shop-fabricated W-style valleys. These valleys are tailored to your specific roof configuration, ensuring proper water flow and minimizing leak risk.
Our experienced team has the expertise to fabricate even the most intricate flashings using double-fold lock details. This allows us to create custom flashings that fit seamlessly into your roof design.
As part of our comprehensive service, we carefully calculate and configure new or updated ventilation systems as needed. This ensures proper airflow and ventilation throughout your roofing system.
We replace or update pipe flashings, providing secure and watertight seals around all plumbing vents.
Before the actual installation, we conduct a meticulous inspection of the plywood to identify and repair any deficiencies. This ensures that we do not shingle over old shingles or damaged plywood, guaranteeing a strong and long-lasting roof.
By adhering to these rigorous standards and utilizing top-quality materials, we can deliver a roofing solution that not only meets but exceeds your expectations in terms of durability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.

A few questions to ask when choosing a good roofing contractor
- Is the roofing company licensed with the province of Ontario?
- Does the roofing company carry valid liability insurance coverage?
- Is the company registered with the WSIB and is the account in good standing and eligible for a clearance certificate?
- Do the company employees have (fall arrest) training with certificates?
- Does the company employ, or use sub-contractors for the installation? This will play a big part in quality of work.
- Do they offer a workmanship guarantee? The company should be able to stand behind their work for a specified period of time.
- Has at least one employee (the supervisor) on the installation crew taken a CPR course?
- Does the company have some sort of credential/special training through the material manufacturer in order to install product properly in accordance with manufacturers specs, and therefore can offer extended warranties on the entire roofing system via the manufacturer?
- Do they offer a proper proposal from the company that outlines the scope of the work?
- The lowest quote is not always the best one. It comes back to that old saying "you get what you pay for".
