If you live north of the 49th parallel – whether it’s in Vancouver, Ottawa, Halifax or here in Toronto – then you’re no stranger to tough weather. During the winter, our temperatures drop drastically; we end up dealing with snow, ice, freezing rain and whatever else mother nature feels like throwing at us. Thus, it’s always in our best interest to be prepared. In the past decade, we’ve been experiencing some pretty peculiar winter weather patterns in conjunction with global climate change.
Over the course of a single winter, you will still see lots of snow and freezing temperatures that will cause ice dams – the healthy roof’s sworn nemesis – but we also see warmer temperatures and hard rain, which can complicate matters and leak into your home. Not only do leaks erode the materials comprising your home, they can also open the floodgates to colds, fevers and other illnesses in your family – As if winter wasn’t bad enough already. Contact our roof repair services in Toronto and the GTA to have your roof looked at if you are having leaks or fear you may be vulnerable to leaks – we can help weatherproof your roof to shore up your peace of mind.
Here at Professional Roofers, we specialize in flat roofs in Toronto. Because flat roofs are made up of large, weatherproof membranes, they are extremely effective for preventing and reducing leakage from precipitation. Think about it this way: a roof made up of individual shingles has hundreds of potential entry points for rain and melting snow – by comparison, a flat roof has a lot fewer. If our expert roof repair services have given your shingled roof a solid going over, you will not experience any leaks, still, we feel that the weatherproof membranes that make up a flat roof provide even more security and a better bang for your buck.
When we install a flat roof, we make sure that it’s at the perfect pitch to divert water away from your roof and down into the storm gutters. The last thing you want is to protect your roof at the expense of your basement and the structure of your home. Amateur roofers will make sure your roof is protected, but they may not take a holistic approach to your home care – this means taking the extra time to ensure that your eavestroughs and downspouts are clear and depositing water in the right place: away from your basement.
We offer the following services for your network of downspouts and eavestroughs: Leaf Guards; Pitch Repair; Re-Hanging; Cleaning. Not only do we make sure that your drainage system is functioning impeccably, we make sure that you have the maximum number of options to customize the aesthetic of your home. Some shortsighted folks believe you have to choose between fashion and function, but when you work with Professional Roofers, you can have both!
If you’re experiencing leaks or problems with your network of downspouts and gutters, call us to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. If you have an emergency, call us up immediately and we’ll be on our way. We’ve been working in the Toronto community as a Toronto roofer for many years and care about the integrity of your home.
