Roof replacement and repair in Scarborough
Scarborough is a big place with a lot of roofs that went on at the same time. Much of it was built between the 1950s and the 1970s, so whole streets of bungalows, back-splits and side-splits are now due for replacement within a few years of each other.
Along the Scarborough Bluffs, in Cliffside, Birch Cliff and Guildwood, the lake adds wind and driving rain to the mix. We build those roofs with that exposure in mind.
Local homes
The roofs we work on in Scarborough
Post-war bungalows with hip roofs, 1960s back-splits and side-splits with several roof planes meeting at awkward angles, and 1970s two-storey homes now on their second or third roof.
What the weather does here
Homes near the Bluffs take wind straight off Lake Ontario, while inland neighbourhoods see more snow and freeze-thaw cycling. Split-level roofs create step flashings and short valleys where water and ice collect.

Questions
Scarborough roofing questions
Why do split-level roofs leak where they meet the wall?
That junction depends on step and counter flashing. On many older Scarborough homes it was never done properly or has failed. We replace it whenever we re-roof.
Is a roof near the Bluffs built differently?
We use high-wind fastening, sealed starter courses at the eaves and rakes, and secure ridge caps to resist lake wind.
Do you serve all of Scarborough?
Yes, from Birch Cliff and the Bluffs up to Agincourt, Malvern and the Rouge.
