Roof Stripping Services
Speak to our Contractors About Roof Stripping Services.
When installing a new roof or replacing an existing one, it is important to begin with a clean slate and strip the roof. Our contractors in will removal one or more layers of your roof before installing a new material. By doing so, the new material will adhere much easier and will be longer lasting. While this is often considered one of the most difficult parts of a re-roofing project, it is important for ensuring your roof is weather-resistant and free from damage or deterioration. Discovering any potential damage early on can prevent you from costly repairs that could have been avoided in the first place.
If you avoid having your roof stripped by our contractors, you may run into problems with your new roof. If damage occurs over time, it is possible that your warranty may be void if the proper steps were not followed upon installation. With the heat and weight of the extra layers, new shingles will assume the texture of the old layers beneath them and lose the crisp new look they would have had in a much shorter time span. If you intend on staying in your home and want peace of mind, it would be a good idea to consider stripping your home of the old materials.
Before beginning any project, our contractors will take many precautions to ensure the safety and integrity of your roof and surrounding property. Besides providing a large trash bin to dispose of the old materials, we will also place protective sheets around the base of your home to catch any nails or materials that may damage your driveway or plants.
We will ensure that the new shingles or material is installed very soon after the original material is removed. This will prevent any damage from occurring on the exposed roof and reduce the amount of time needed to complete the project.
If you make the decision to move ahead with roof stripping, there is no need to worry about any messy clean-up, since our services include garbage removal.

Roof Substrate, Replacement and Repairs
Roof substrate replacement or repair is the process of getting rid of one or more layers on your roof and sheathing. If you need a new roof, this is a project that is highly recommended.
In the case of a home renovation, it is wise to consider a shingle/flat roof replacement. Proper steps must be taken when installing roof underlayment and the nailing down of shingles directly onto the roof deck.
If the proper installation steps are not taken, your shingle warranty is at risk of being voided by the manufacturer.
It is important to understand the different roofing materials and gain the necessary knowledge of what their potential weaknesses are. It is possible for water to enter your roof through the water proofing layers by possible cuts, tears, poorly sealed holes and failed flashing and caps.
This can cause problems later with the insulation below being drenched with water, which would be trapped in the roof substrate.
If not properly repaired, concrete decks would absorb trapped water, metal would begin to rust, and wood decks would rot. The interior will be at major risk of unwanted water seepage.
If the substrate or supporting materials have in fact started to deteriorate, certain surface material may be re-used if handled with care. Our professional assessment must be made to determine whether your roof could be repaired or in some cases, require replacement.For your roof repair Edmonton, contact us by requesting a free estimate.

Flat Roof
we specialize in not only providing services for residential homes, but also for commercial and industrial businesses. Many businesses are built with a flat roof, which means it is important for a professional to regularly inspect and repair it due to the increased risk of piling snow and leaks. A built-up roof or (bur) is an old system that is still being used today for flat roofs. It is a system that consists of multiple layers of paper felt, embedded with asphalt, glued together with hot tar, and protected from the sun by a topping of gravel.
When thinking of doing a built-up roof, it's important to consider the quality of the materials being used as well as how experienced the contractor is.
Mopped and/or Torch down Modified Bitumen
Modified Bitumen, sometimes referred to as rubber, is a waterproof sheet factory made from asphalt and reinforced with a high strength mesh. The sheets are applied by torching or by asphalt mopping the first sheet (base sheet), so that each sheet is sealed to the next and to the substrate.
The next layer is torched to the first layer in a similar manner. The final sheet (cap sheet) usually has granules like shingles, meant to stop the sun from removing the oils from the sheets.
Although some contractors apply only one sheet, two or three sheets are recommended for durability.
If you are considering flat system for your home or business with a flat or low sloped roof, torch down is used for both. Extra precaution must be taken while doing torch down. Proper precaution ensures that the membranes are well bonded, not overheated and substantially reduce the risk of fire. Our roofers will walk you through the process and educate you before beginning a job, so you understand your investment.
Peel and Stick Modified Bitumen
Modified Bitumen sheets are also available with an adhesive side which can be installed on the substrate without torching. Subsequent layers are then torched to the peel and stick membrane.
