ASPHALT SHINGLES INSTALLATIONS
Our experts will recommend the best course of action for you, but you are more than welcome to suggest a certain type of material. Our technicians in GTA and the surrounding areas can give you a quote on the cost of the different materials we use. Again, the technician on site will generally give you their best course of action for your unique situation. Asphalt Shingles are possibly the most common type of shingle. This could be for many reasons, but the most popular being because it is the least expensive. Not only is the material the least expensive, but it is also easier to install. Typically these asphalt shingles are made of fiberglass that is impregnated with asphalt, and then surfaced with a sand-like material to prevent cracking and to reflect some sunlight. This type of shingle is expected to last at least 15 years, in some cases up to 25 years.
ROOF REPAIRS
Is your roof leaking? Maybe some shingles or flashing have blown off? Perhaps the damage is more severe such as sagging in your roof or damage from a fallen branch or tree? Whatever the need, the roof repair experts at First Roofing can help. If a building has a roof on it, we can generally repair it. Many roofing companies will only offer an option for a new roof. Many times a roof can be repaired rather than replaced. Leaks can result from flashings that have come loose or a section of the roof system being damaged. A complete roof system failure, however, generally is irreversible and is a result of improper installation or choice of materials or the roof system installation is inappropriate for the home or building. Whether you are the owner of a large commercial building or a homeowner looking to get their roof repaired, First Roofing can help you. We take on all projects of any size, including condo developments, churches, industrial buildings, and homes. With First Roofing be at ease knowing you will be working with some of the best and highest acclaimed roofers in the GTA area.
PLYWOOD REPAIRS
While plywood is an amazingly strong engineered material, it is not impervious to damage. It would be nice if it was, but that’s just not in the cards. Rather, we need to be ready to repair plywood that has been damaged, especially when it has been damaged in a critical area. There are a number of different types of damage that plywood can incur, but I’m specifically referring to dents, surface cracks and bubbles. Water damage, which attacks the edges of the plywood first, generally requires replacement of the piece (although reinforcement is possible in some cases). Cracks that go all the way through the plywood are virtually impossible, due to the way plywood is made. The next layer of veneer would check the crack, regardless of how seriously the surface was cracked. Major damage, where a piece of plywood is broken pretty much always requires replacement as well.
ROOF MAINTENANCE
Since most people’s home represents such a sizeable investment, and because your roof plays such an important role in protecting you and your home, you want a professional roofing contractor for your roofing needs. Because the average roofing company goes out of business within five years, you don’t want to leave your choice of contractors to chance. You’ll want to hire a company that has been around and will continue to be around to service any warranties provided. That’s First Roofing! In today’s competitive business world, we know you can get your roof maintained from any number of roofing contractors. But we take comfort in the fact that you can only get First Roofing ‘s quality work from one place!
