Shingle roofs, from bungalows to new builds

Roofing in Laval

Across the Rivière des Prairies, Laval is mostly suburban homes with asphalt shingle roofs, from older bungalows to whole developments that are now due for their first new roof.

A shingle roof doesn’t last forever. When a neighbourhood was built all at once, its roofs tend to wear out at the same time too, and you start seeing replacements up and down the street.

We replace shingle roofs properly, down to the deck where it needs it, with ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and valleys and ventilation that lets the attic breathe. We also repair leaks, install gutters and soffits, and add attic insulation.

The roofs we see in Laval

  • Asphalt shingles on bungalows, cottages and semi-detached homes
  • Roofs from the same era wearing out at the same time
  • Roof vents, plumbing stacks and skylights
  • Aluminum gutters, soffits and fascia

What usually goes wrong

  • Original shingles curling or losing granules
  • Poor attic ventilation shortening the life of the roof
  • Leaks around vents and skylights
  • Ice at the eaves from an under-insulated attic

Common questions

How do I know my shingles need replacing?

Curled or cracked shingles, bare spots, lots of granules in the gutters, or a leak after heavy rain. An inspection tells you for sure.

Do you come out to Laval?

Yes. Call us or send the form and we’ll set up a time to look at your roof.

My roof is the original from when the house was built. Should I replace it now?

Age alone doesn’t decide it. If the shingles are still lying flat and the attic is dry, it may have years left. An inspection tells you whether to replace now or plan for it.

Do you take the old shingles off first?

Always. We don’t shingle over an old roof: it hides damage we need to see, and the same problems come back.

Why does attic ventilation matter?

Air has to come in at the soffits and out at the top. Without that, the shingles bake in summer and ice builds at the eaves in winter, and the roof wears out years early.

What warranty do I get?

At least ten years on our workmanship, plus the manufacturer’s warranty on the shingles. If something goes wrong, we come back and fix it.
