ROOFING REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
OUR ROOFING MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR SERVICE : WHY NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT?
We cannot overstate it : maintenance is the key to the longevity of a roof. Whether your roof is 1 year old or 20 years old, it is important to have it inspected every year (several times per year for flat roofs) in order to verify the integrity of the structure. That is why Couvreurs de l’Est offers our expert roofing maintenance and repair service in Montreal and the surrounding areas.
A VISUAL INSPECTION IS A MUST!
When you call for our prevention and maintenance service, a Senior Inspector from Couvreurs de l’Est will carry out a detailed visual inspection of every element of your roof :
Condition of drains and flashing;
Quality of the caulking joints and roof-wall junctions;
General condition of the membrane (cracks, wrinkles, missing shingles, blisters, discoloration, etc.);
etc.
Once the inspection has been completed, you will receive a detailed report containing recommendations pertaining to the preventive maintenance and repairs to be carried out, as applicable.
THE MOST COMMON ROOF PROBLEMS
The effects of time as well as the phenomena of freezing and thawing have an impact on the structure of your roofs. Here are some roofing problems that appear due to a lack of regular maintenance:
the ice dams
The accumulation of snow on sloped roofs facilitates the formation of ice dams on the edge of the roof. If it is difficult to prevent their appearance, you can call on our team for thesnow removal regularly from your roof. This will prevent water infiltration and your roof will be protected.
the condensation
A poorly ventilated roof can be subject to a condensation problem. Indeed, the contact of heat with the cooled surface of the roof causes water condensation under the roof which promotes the appearance of mold and humidity. In order to avoid the deterioration of your home, our specialists check the insulation and repair if necessary.
tree branches
A damaged roof is a threat to your safety and that of your loved ones. When the branches of trees near your house become dangerous, it is necessary to prune them. Call on roofing experts to restore your roof to good condition and ensure the effectiveness of the insulation system.
Our competent roofers advise you and provide you with the necessary assistance to ensure the durability of your roof. If you observesigns of defect of your roof, such as the presence of puddles, the deformation of the shingles or the presence of granules in your gutters, contact us without delay!

The longevity of a roof depends on the quality of the installations, the type of roof and external factors such as the impact of the climate. To keep your roof in excellent condition, you must carry out a regular inspection for early detection of damage and call on professionals to carry out maintenance or repair of the roof if necessary.

What are the factors that threaten the longevity of a roof?
A poorly ventilated roof, snow accumulation on the roof, water accumulation due to freezing and thawing are many factors that weaken the roof structure, damage the coating and accelerate its deterioration. It is therefore crucial for any owner to ensure a complete inspection of the roof to remedy the problems quickly. By entrusting the work to experienced contractors or roofers, you can be sure of having effective solutions.
How do I know if my roof is damaged?
If you notice water infiltration, tears in the membrane or missing shingles, act quickly to restore the roof. Also, favor a roof inspection by specialized roofers in the field after each season. This operation allows you to quickly detect the impacts of violent manifestations of nature and climate change on the roof of your building.
How important is it to have a sloped roof?
The slope technique in roof construction is a good way to ensure that elements such as snow, leaves, ice or tree branches do not accumulate on the roof. A steep slope allows for better resistance to climatic hazards. You must also ensure the insulation and proper ventilation of the roof in order to limit the impact of temperature changes as much as possible.
Should I opt for roof replacement or repair?
After a thorough inspection of the roof, roofers determine the appropriate option between roof replacement and roof repair based on your specific situation. The extent of the damage and the roofers' sound judgment allow us to know if your roof is repairable or if a complete replacement is required.
