Hi Legacy Fans! This week we were out in Central London Ontario, at a residential home. The client called us out as they have a walk out deck situated on top of their roof, and they asked Legacy Flat Roofing to come out and install a new flat roof system so they can then install a wood deck on top of so they can enjoy their backyard. They were also experiencing leaks on the old system, so it was time […]
Hi everyone, this week we were out in London Ontario in the middle of town, working on a walk out porch deck. The client said they needed our help as the deck was in a state of disrepair. This was one of our trickier and more complex home flat roof replacements, and was the most rotted out flat roof and deck system our team had seen. Unfortunately this roof had been leaking for a very long time, and so upon […]
This week we were at a beautiful heritage home, and we wanted to take some time to show you something a little different at Legacy Flat Roofs. We thought we would show you how you can install a new flat roof at your home. Many times you’ve seen us install a roof over the top of the existing flat roof because the condition of the roof was good enough to use, as there hadn’t been any perforations in the flat […]
Hey everyone, this week we were in London Ontario in the North end of the city, working on a decent sized residential flat roof. This was an interesting project, we were called out as the client had an existing single ply flat roof that had met it’s life expectancy. The single ply was beginning to rip open, when we inspected the roof the insulation was wet. This can cause major issues inside of a home once the flat roof seams […]
We were on a job this week in Kirktown Ontario, doing a residential job on a 2 storey home. The home had a 4 ply flat roof and then the homeowners had a metal roof put over the top of the 4 ply system, but the slope of the roof wasn’t enough to keep water from running off the roof, so at the back of the house the roof was taking in water. You can see in the video that […]
This project was in London Ontario on the East side of town for a duplex. Our job was to tie in two flat roof systems, there was one section of the roof that was completed about 3-4 years ago, our job today was to fix the other half of the roof and tie it in to the newest section of flat roof. The section that needed to be fixed was in terrible shape, highlighted by all the extreme rainfall that […]
This week we had a small project on a residential house in the East side of London, Ontario. There were two flat roof sections, one on the front of the house covering the porch, around 200sqft, and then a back section covering some interior space, 4ff x 20ft. On the front section we placed a separation layer between the old roof surface and the new roof. There were some wet sections of plywood so we cut that out and replaced […]
We were out working at Wyoming Baptist Church this week, working on a small portion of their flat roof. (You can find out what the client thought of our work here) Their main roofing system was a sloped metal roof system, however there was a section of roof where two air conditioning units were situated that were on a flat section of roof, using a 2ply modified roof system. The church was having leaks in this section of roof, there […]
We like to reuse metal siding if its in good condition because it saves clients a lot of money by not making an unnecessary decision to replace the metal. Some roofing companies just tuck the membrane underneath the flashing and they don’t remove it. We carefully remove the old metal siding, make sure the pieces are labelled so they can be easily reinstalled. You can see in the video how we have taken the drip flashing off. Then we put […]
This Canada long weekend we were busy working out in Sarnia Ontario, working on a residential flat roof system. I brought my special helper along for the ride with me this time (make sure you leave him a comment to say hi!). We were working on a regular 4ply built up roof with pea stones on it. The client had been complaining that the roof was allowing water into their house, they originally thought it was a leak in the […]
