ROOFING SERVICES IN AJAX

Ajax’s commercial and industrial properties near the 401 have flat and low-slope roofs with plenty of surface area and rooftop equipment. Every vent or unit that passes through the roof is a place water can get in, so the details around them matter more than the open membrane.

For Ajax flat roofs we choose between EPDM, TPO or modified bitumen based on the building, and we check the flashings around rooftop equipment on every repair, since that’s where leaks so often start.

Metal roofing is a good fit for waterfront homes in Ajax, where steady wind off Lake Ontario can lift older shingles at the edges. It also keeps upkeep to a minimum once it’s on.

On attached homes metal takes some planning, because the roofline is shared with a neighbour, so we talk through colour, profile and how the work will tie in before we suggest it.

Steep slope shingle roofs cover most Ajax homes, from historic houses in Pickering Village to townhome rows in newer subdivisions. A roof on an attached home shares walls and flashings with its neighbours, which makes those joins the first place to inspect.

Our Ajax shingle work gives the connections between units extra care, since a poor tie-in can leak even when the rest of the roof is sound.
