ROOFING SERVICES IN MAPLE

In Maple, flat and low-slope roofs show up on retail plazas and commercial units along the main roads, and in smaller sections on homes, such as porches, garages and rear additions. Those small residential sections are easy to forget about, but they’re a common source of leaks, especially where the low-slope area meets the wall of the house.

For these roofs we pick a membrane to suit the size and use of the area, from modified bitumen on a small porch roof to EPDM or TPO on larger commercial sections. What matters most is the detail where the flat area ties into the main roof or the wall above it, since that joint takes the most water.

Many Maple homes still have the asphalt shingle roof they were built with, and some owners use replacement time as a chance to switch to metal. Standing seam panels and metal shingles last much longer than standard asphalt, need very little upkeep and come in profiles that suit a typical subdivision home without looking out of place.

On closely spaced streets, we talk through colours and profiles that sit well next to the neighbouring houses, and we check whether any local rules apply before work starts. You’ll also get a straight comparison with a new shingle roof, so you can weigh upfront cost against lifespan.

Asphalt shingles are the standard on Maple’s subdivision homes, many with several valleys, hips and dormers. Valleys collect water and debris, so they’re often the first part of the roof to wear, along with the flashing around vents and skylights. On a roof with lots of angles, those details decide how well the whole roof holds up through Vaughan’s winters.

When a Maple shingle roof is worn out, we replace it with close attention to the valleys and the flashing. Ventilation gets checked too, because a stuffy attic shortens shingle life. On streets where houses sit close together, we keep the site clean and tidy from the first day to the last.
