We recently completed a shingle roof repair project in Toronto, where the homeowner had experienced recurring issues with worn shingles, surface cracks, and minor leaks. Upon inspection, we found that the existing roof had only one layer of aging asphalt shingles—many of which were curling, cracked, and showing signs of wear.

The homeowner wanted to protect their home with a new, longer-lasting solution. That’s where our full-service roof repair process began.

Our Process: Complete Removal and Code-Compliant Installation

Our first step was to fully remove the old shingle layer, allowing us to assess the condition of the roof decking beneath. Fortunately, the structure was solid, and we were able to proceed with proper waterproofing and shingle installation.

As required by the Toronto Building Code, we applied a self-adhered ice and water shield membrane along all eaves, valleys, and roof edges. This critical layer protects the home from future ice damming and water backup during heavy rains and freeze-thaw cycles.

Next, we installed a synthetic roofing underlayment, which offers far better protection than outdated felt paper. It creates a secondary moisture barrier while allowing the roof to breathe.

Once the waterproofing layers were complete, our crew installed new architectural asphalt shingles, carefully aligned and nailed for long-term durability and a clean, modern appearance. We also replaced ridge caps and added proper ventilation to ensure the roof’s performance and lifespan.

Finished Result: Durable and Beautiful

The result of this shingle roof repair project is a completely refreshed, weather-tight section of roof that looks fantastic and will last for decades. The homeowner was thrilled with the final appearance and the added peace of mind knowing their home is properly protected.
