Toronto Roofing

We recently completed work on two adjacent properties on Sackville Street in the downtown Toronto Cabbagetown neighbourhood.  The work included two new flat roofs, four new skylights, new asphalt shingles on a sloped roof section and some other minor repairs.

Some downtown Toronto homes feature a rear sloped roof with a dormer with a walkout onto a flat roof. Very often we encounter that the door step has not been appropriately sealed and flashed and is therefore leaking, as was the case with out client’s home in the the downtown Toronto Annex neighbourhood.

We recently completed a roofing project for our client in Oakville where we installed the Certainteed Independence premium designer shingle in the weatherwood colour on the mansard portion of the roof. 

It is evident the roofing season has began thanks to the abundance of bandit roofing contractor signs appearing illegally in public and private spaces.  Are you fed up with these eye sores? 

Here is an example of an inappropriate installation of a chimney flashing on a sloped roof that is sure to leak.  When we examined the client's roof we easily spotted this inappropriate installation as the tall cone chimney flashing was installed over the shingles. 

Not long ago in the Friday, February 19, 2010 edition of the Globe and Mail’s Real Estate section the home of a past client was featured as the Resale Homes: Home of the Week represented by our friend Richard Silver of Bosley Real Estate.  Last summer M&R Roofing completed various roofing work at the Edwardian home on 52 Amelia Street in Cabbagetown.

In January we received a call from a distraught client with a severely leaking flat roof.  The leakage had created significant water damage in the dining area where the flat roof was above.  The entire ceiling needed to be redone.
