This client needed work done on one of the trickiest sections of roof we have worked on to date. This section was so high that it was unreachable by ladders, that we had to rent a 65ft Genie lift! The client was having water infiltration issues and we were called in for the job. There were a few sections – the flat roof is known as a Widows Walk, a flat piece of roof surrounded by very extreme angled roofs, […]
This video shows you how to make the correct cuts to get a piece of metal flashing around a corner angle on a section of roof. First you must have the base sheet installed, then get a long section of flashing and cut out some triangle shaped pieces based on where you want the angle (see the video for more details). The flashing should be able to fold into itself based on the amount of space you cut out for […]
This job was for a 400sqft section of roof, so a very small sized job, but incredibly detailed and tricky. This roof repair involved a window detail, vinyl siding and shingle detail. It took a lot longer than we had thought, as we needed to preserve all the existing shingles and siding. We then brought the membrane up under the siding and shingles with plenty of ice and water shield for a water tight seal. It was a tough job, […]

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 […]
Legacy Flat Roofing & Sheet Metal How To Video: Heat Welding Seams On a residential home it’s always best to avoid using torches or hot asphalt. So our main practice is to use a technique of using intense heat to weld seams together. To do this you need a leister gun, which blows hot air, and a 3 inch roller. And we use the heat and the roller to adhere to capsheet layers together. If you are doing this right […]
This job is a follow up to the quote we gave here. This building is a residential building on one side, and then a commercial business, a U Brew in Goderich Ontario.

This is a restaurant downtown London, Ontario. I will be repairing numerous flat roof areas. The client and I have been discussing several different repair/replace/recover options. Take a look at the work that needs to be done. Here are some photos of the construction process, and then the completed product. The client was very pleased with the results, and so was I. I love a neat and tidy project. Go here for the video of this project.
