Roofing Services in Laval

Laval is a big city with a lot of roofs. Drive along boulevard Cure-Labelle from Pont-Viau up to Sainte-Rose and you will pass through decades of construction. The bungalows in Chomedey from the 1960s look nothing like the newer two-storey homes going up in Sainte-Dorothee. But they all need a roof that can handle what Quebec weather throws at them. The older bungalows in Chomedey, Vimont, and Laval-des-Rapides are our bread and butter for shingle work. These houses were originally covered with three-tab shingles, and most have been re-roofed at least once. We strip them down to the deck, check the plywood for soft spots and rot, then install proper ice and water shield along the eaves before laying new architectural shingles. One thing we find on almost every older Laval bungalow: the attic ventilation is not up to current code. That is a big part of why ice dams form along the eaves every winter. We fix that while the roof is open. The newer neighborhoods in Sainte-Dorothee, Duvernay, and Fabreville have homes with steeper pitches and fancier roof lines. Multiple dormers, valleys cutting across the roof at different angles, skylights. These roofs look great, but the complexity means there are more places where water can get in if the flashing work is not done right. We take our time on these details because a leak at a valley or a dormer transition is the kind of problem that does not show up right away but causes real damage over a few years. Laval sits between two rivers, the riviere des Prairies and the riviere des Mille Iles. That creates windier conditions than you might expect, especially in the waterfront areas and the more open suburban developments. We use fastening patterns rated for high-wind zones on every Laval roof. Flat roofs are common along the commercial strips on boulevards Cure-Labelle, des Laurentides, and Saint-Martin. Mixed-use buildings with shops below and apartments above. We install elastomeric membrane, TPO, and modified bitumen on these structures. The key with flat roofs in Laval is getting the drainage slope right so water does not sit. Call us or send a photo for a free estimate. We explain what your roof needs in plain language, with no surprises on the bill.
