Today we worked on a cottage in Bayfield Ontario, working on a 420 square foot flat roof. This roof was well past it’s life cycle, the membrane was coming apart and chipping it had lost its ability to remain watertight. The membrane went underneath some shingles so we need to get the membrane under the shingles so that the water flows over the top. The nice part is the shingles were getting replaced in a couple of weeks which is […]

This job was for a client who owns a pharmacy in downtown London Ontario. The client was experiencing all sorts of leaks in each of the four sections of roof in their building.

Water was getting in behind some flashing that was lined against the brick wall of the house and the client needed a quality water tight roof done fast. We cleaned up the roof, drained and dried it, installed sopaboard and a basesheet with some new drainage so […]
This project was for a cottage in Bayfield Ontario. The owner, who uses this for around two months out of the year came in and found his entire building flooded. The roof was taking in water in several areas, and we were called in to replace the roof. We came and found this roof was way past it’s life cycle. It was a 30′ x 30′ modified roof which was cracked and delaminated, the membrane was coming off. There had […]
