Anyone who owns property knows the sinking feeling that comes when you see even the smallest of leaks. You may also be concerned if you see missing shingles or other damage to your roof.

When you see something that causes you concern, call us. We’ll be happy to send someone out to inspect your roof and determine how it can be repaired. Since roofing repairs are often less expensive and take less time, we’ll explore every possible option to get it fixed.
We also repair commercial roofs. Or, we can apply protective coatings to your commercial roof to refinish it and keep it in top condition.
Common Problem Areas On Residential Roofing
Our roof repair services begin with a thorough inspection of your roof for signs of failure. For residential structures, the first place we check is the chimney due to its multiple layers of flashing that have a high potential for water leakage.
- Skylights
- Plumbing vents
- Gooseneck vents
- Valleys
- Wall flashings
- Eave and gutter aprons
- Fascia and soffit
Every portion of your roof does its part to protect your home from the elements. However, in Southern Ontario’s fall season, strong winds can leave your roof vulnerable to rain infiltration.
- If you have an asphalt roof, we’ll check for torn or missing shingles and nails that have backed out. Water can leak into the small hole left by a shingle nail that has somehow worked itself out of your roof.
- Have a metal roof, we’ll look for any failed fasteners, seams, or flashing and provide a fix to eliminate the risk of water leaking in.
- Tile roof, any cracked or sliding tiles, corroded areas, and deteriorated underlayment can be quickly identified.
- Even a flat commercial roof, we’ll comb over every square inch for cracks, bubbles, blisters, or other signs that indicate a leak is present.

If your roof is plagued by widespread damage, we’ll likely recommend a full replacement, but only if it is absolutely necessary. We pride ourselves on being honest and communicative with our customers and will provide only the most appropriate service to meet the needs of your roof.
