There are any number of causes that create a leaking roof. The best action to take is to have one of our professional roofers from Toitures Nord Américaines identify the source of the problem and repair the leak as soon as possible. A puncture, loose flashing, wind damage, freeze and thaw cycles and blistering are just a few of the things that can cause a leak to develop. In many cases your roof can be repaired quickly and inexpensively. Roofs do wear out and should be replaced when they do.

There are multiple factors that determine how long a tar and gravel roof will last. These include the quality of the initial installation, the quality of the materials, the environment, regular maintenance and the effectiveness of your attic ventilation system. A new tar and gravel roof normally lasts between 10 and 20 years.

For an average size home without any unforeseen complications (rotten boards to be replaced, attic ventilation problems, etc.) the removal of the old roof and installation of a new roof is generally completed in one day (weather permitting). Should the work take longer than one day, we’ll make the roof weather tight before leaving the worksite.

Toitures Nord Américaines crews work on only one project at a time, completing each project in its entirerity before leaving the site.

For a quality installation of a replacement roof, it is necessary to remove all of the old roof covering and start with a clean and stable surface. We recommend you avoid hiring any roofing company that says you can save money by having a new roof installed on top of an old roof.

Yes we do. See Our Clients Say it Best page.
