Up it comes

Most roofers only talk about shingles. The shingles are the last of seven layers, and a roof fails from the bottom up.

In the order they go on

  1. 1Plywood deckThe base everything nails into. Soft or rotten sheets get replaced before anything covers them.
  2. 2Metal drip edgeBent metal along the eaves that steers water into the eavestrough instead of behind it.
  3. 3Ice and water shieldA self sealing membrane along the eaves and valleys, where ice dams push water back up in winter.
  4. 4Synthetic underlaymentA second skin over the whole deck, overlapped so water always runs over a seam, never into it.
  5. 5Starter stripThe first row at the eaves, with a sealant line that holds the first course down in wind.
  6. 6Architectural shinglesLaminated shingles laid in courses from the eaves up, each row covering the nails of the row below.
  7. 7Ridge vent and capAn open vent along the peak lets warm, damp attic air out. Cap shingles cover it.

Seven layers, from the deck up. Keep scrolling to go through them one at a time.

Back on, one layer at a time

Each layer is photographed before the next one covers it. You get the photos the same day, so you never have to take the roof on trust.

Then let it rain

Water runs from shingle to shingle, over the drip edge and into the eavestrough. Inside, nobody notices.

Four things people ask before they call a roofer

Do you just put new shingles on top?

No. We strip to the deck and put every layer back in order. The quote lists each one by name, so you can check it against the drawing above.

How do I know what you did up there?

We photograph the deck and each layer before it gets covered, and send the photos the same day.

Will my yard be full of nails?

We run a magnetic sweeper over the yard and the driveway at the end of every day, not just the last one.

Will the crew actually show up?

One crew lead from the roof check to the final sweep, with a written schedule before the first shingle comes off.

What we take on

Houses in east Toronto, Scarborough, East York and Pickering.

  • Full roof replacementAsphalt shingle roofs, torn off to the deck and rebuilt in all seven layers.
  • Leaks and storm damageFound from the attic and the roof, fixed at the layer that failed.
  • Attic ventilationRidge vents and intake vents, so the attic stops cooking in July and sweating in January.
  • Eavestroughs and drip edgeWhere the water leaves the roof, and the part most often skipped.
  • Flat sectionsPorch roofs and additions with low slopes.
  • Inspections before a saleA written report with photos, for buyers or sellers.
