The difference is in the details.
This flat roof replacement started with a system that had begun to fail. The existing roofing was poorly adhered, sections had come loose, and the attic access hatch had been buried under layers of roofing and tar.
After a complete tear-off, we installed a new plywood deck and fabricated custom drip edge to properly manage water at the roof perimeter. Off-the-shelf drip edge simply wouldn't have provided the coverage and edge height this roof required.
Before installing the new roofing system, we applied an adhesive primer to improve bond strength and long-term performance. The membrane was then mechanically fastened using an enhanced fastening pattern with metal cap nails, providing additional resistance to the high winds we experience here in Atlantic Canada.
The attic access hatch was clad in aluminum, with no exposed fasteners visible on the finished assembly. Clean, serviceable, and built to last.
A lot of the work that makes a roof perform for years isn't visible once the project is complete. Just because a roof doesn't leak today doesn't mean shortcuts won't cause problems down the road. Proper preparation, thoughtful detailing, and refusing to cut corners are what make the difference.
That's the standard we bring to every project
