Quality Roofing Services in the Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville and Surrounding Areas


Just like your body, the different components that form your home are all part of an eco-system. To gauge the health of your home’s eco-system, you must begin with your roof.
Whether you are just in the process of building your dream home, or are repairing an existing roof, you must consider the material and workmanship that goes into building your roof.  A roof protects your home from harsh elements including wind, rain, snow, hail, ice and heat.
You may be wondering... what makes a roof last a long time?
  • A quality roof is secure, weather tight, durable, eye-catching and flexible enough to withstand the severe shift in the Canadian temperature without cracking.
  • A contemporary roof is constructed with a variety of components that can include wood framing, insulation, roof deck, starter shingles, underlayment, roof shingles or other finished surfaces and ridge cap. When these layers are healthy and well-functioning, your home is fully protected from the elements.

​YOUR ROOF PROTECTS YOUR ENTIRE HOME
Your roof ventilates your attic:
Protecting your roof begins in your attic. Moisture from your home rises and can get trapped in your attic if it has no way to ventilate. This is where properly installed venting system in your roof come in. Keeping moisture out of your attic by having vents installed in your roof means you protect your home against mold.
Your roof protects your siding:
Your roof’s overhang shelters your home’s siding from strong winds, scorching heat, seeping rain and damaging hail. This prolongs the life of your siding and other components of your home’s eco-system like your windows, doors and the foundation.
Your roof keeps water away from your home’s foundation:
If a complete drainage system (from the roof to the foundation) isn’t in place and the soil material that surrounds the foundation of your home becomes saturated with water, over time your foundation will begin to crack and deteriorate. A properly installed roofing system will redirect water into gutters and downspouts which in turn move the water away from the foundation of your home. 
HOW CAN YOU PROTECT YOUR ROOF?
​Your roof protects you and your loved ones so therefore protecting it should be a top priority. Whether you have recently installed a new roof or are just looking for ways to make your roof last longer, you can take the following preventative measures to lower the risk of having to deal with major issues with your roof later:
  • Replace damaged or worn shingles: if you are seeing damaged or worn shingles, having a professional replace them can protect your home from potential damage to your attic, ceilings, walls and even the floors of your home. 
  • Trimming trees: trees add to the overall aesthetic of your home but if they are knocked down onto your home due to a storm, you could have issues with your roof, gutters and even your windows. You can either trim the tree branches yourself or hire a professional to do this for you.
  • Clean your gutters and downspouts regularly: if your gutters and downspouts are filled with leaves and debris and a big storm rolls in, the rain will not be able to drain properly and can back up. The backed-up water can in turn damage your siding, foundation and roof if left unchecked.
  • Do regular inspections of your home’s interior and exterior: get to know what the different components of your home look like when they’re at their healthiest by walking around your property on a regular basis. This way, you will notice things like a blown off shingle, discoloration in your siding, cracks in your home’s foundation etc.

HOW IS YOUR ROOF BUILT?
Your roof is constructed first with trusses that run across your attic (frame). These trusses support the weight of your roof and all of its components.

Next is the insulation which guards your home from the fluctuations in temperature. Although insulation isn’t a part of your roof, it acts as a barrier between the roof and the rest of your home. If your roof is damaged and leaking, your insulation is the next barrier to protect the structure of your home.
​
Roof deck is the substrate that your roof layers sit on; this is what goes on top of the trusses (frame).
Starter shingles protect the edges of your roof from the weather and are the layer of shingles that go along the sides of your roof line.

Underlayment is a flat surface that goes directly underneath the final layer of shingles. It provides an added layer of protection in case water gets under the shingles.

Roof shingles are the final and most important component of your roof. This is where you can display your great eye-for-design while protecting your roof from the elements.
​​
Ridge cap sit on top of the slope of your roof and provides an extra seal at the ridge line which helps protect your roof from rain and snow damage. It also is the finishing touch that makes your roof look professionally done.

WHEN SHOULD YOU REPAIR YOUR ROOF?
Your roof begins to fail when one the components that make up your roof is damaged. Given the location of a roof, unfortunately we don’t notice exactly how damaged our roof is until something goes wrong (out of sight, out of mind!). This is why if you notice any of the following signs, it’s time to call our roofing experts for a free, no obligation inspection and quote.
  • Visible signs that shingles that have blown off due to a storm
  • Leaky ceilings or water stains on your ceiling
  • Your roof is getting up in age and you can see signs of wear and tear (bubbling shingles, curling corners)
  • Moldy or musky odour in your home or attic space
  • Visible damage around skylights, vents and ridges
  • You’re noticing a wave-pattern in your shingles; this could be a sign of structural damage
  • Your energy bills are rising which means your air conditioner or heater are having to work harder to regulate the temperature in your home

Had our 70 year old house stripped and insulated. Added new vinyl board and batten siding , eavestrough as well as new entry door and a few windows replaced.
Claude and his boys got the job done and came up with solutions to problems that occurs with old houses like ours. We had a few rain delays and were well pleased with the end result.
A great transformation to our house and thanks for a job well done.

Our new roof was installed on time and on budget. It looks great and was complete in every detail. The work was done two weeks ago and I still haven't found a single nail or any debris from the installation. Very happy with the service from the estimate inspection to cleanup.

We recently had our house and garage roof replaced and were very satisfied with this companies work. The workers all arrived at 8:00a.m. and were all cleaned up and gone by 2:00p.m. We would certainly recommend this company for your roofing needs.

My mom was so impressed with the job your company did on her home. Your employees were there from 7am-7pm and you'd never know it! Her home, driveway and lawns were spotless when they left. She was impressed with how professional and very pleasant they were. Thank you so much!

Great from start to finish from the time I called for an estimate (which only took two days to have a representative at our house) to just the two weeks after to complete the job. Highly recommended!!!!

We have gone back to this company to do yet another job for us and they continued to uphold their superior service. Everything from the initial estimate and on site inspection of the job to the final payment was handled in a very professional and business like manner. No doubt we would recommend them to our friends and family.

Very happy with the advice that I received and all the work that was done. The roofing was necessary because continual wind damage required a better solution. The eavestroughing improved both the look and the efficiency of that system. Nice people and great service throughout.

Right from the initial contact we were pleased. Very responsive and professional when they came for the estimate. Answered all our questions with ease. Install occurred very quickly which was ideal due to the wind damage we suffered. Clean up was as expected. Just do a quick check after the large bin is removed for an loose debris left after wards. All in all it was painless and looks great! Would recommend to others.
