This week we were in the East end of London Ontario at a residential home. The client had a couple of issues that needed attention. One section of their shingled roof had been leaking, due to aged shingles, and a poor slope on their roof, which was causing piles of snow to sit on the roof, as well as have water freeze and lift the shingles.
Another issue was that their flat roof section needed to be repaired and replaced, however the flat roof tied into the shingled section. You can watch our video as to how we tied it in so that there is a strong waterproof crossover between the two surfaces.
For the shingled section we peeled off all the shingles and felt paper in that area and put down peel and stick ice and water shield to eliminate the issue with pooling and freezing water.
For the flat roof we took off the old surface, put new sopaboard down, and installed new drip flashing, but we left the eaves troughs in because it would save the clients money and they were in good condition (we do our best to save you money!).
To tie in the flat and shingle roof we removed 3 rows of shingles and brought the membrane up under those layers to ensure that no water would get through those layers.
We are really happy with the project, the weather was great to get it all done in one day, and you can hear what the client thought of the project here.

This project was for a residential home in Wallaceburg Ontario with a 400sqft carport. The roof was in rough shape and needed to be repaired, so our job was to remove the stone, place sopaboard and a new cap sheet over to give it a good watertight seal.
The project was not straightforward, there was an eavestroph on 3 of the 4 sides, and a window detail on the fourth side alone with a brick wall and metal flashing.
Our first job was to remove the stone, then place the sopaboard on a slight slope so that the water would run away from the house and not pool water anywhere.
We left the existing metal flashing against the brick wall and put the base sheet over the top of it for extra water protection. We are very meticulous with the work we put underneath the roof just as much as the finishing touches.
We put new cap sheet around the window and put new metal finishing on everything to give it a great curb appeal look

This job was a for a client with a challenging issue, but one that we see quite often at Legacy Flat Roofing. There was a flat roof surface which was part of a deck that needed to be replaced or repaired due to it being very old, past it’s lifecycle, and not being a watertight membrane.
The challenge was that there were several posts connected into the roof that were part of a railing. To save money for the client we recommended that we repair the roof, not replace the roof, so we had to work around those posts but still ensure a seal that would not be compromised during bad weather. There was also a brick section to the side of the roof that needed repairing, as well as the metal drip flashing which was quite old.
We cleaned up the roof, removed any rubble and dirt, pulled off the metal edging and put down sopaboard and a new cap sheet. Once that was done we replaced the metal flashing with new flashing, so that it would give a good seal, and have a great look for the roof both from the deck and the ground looking up.
We applied a polyurethane compound to the rails and the brick editing, as it’s pliable but a very strong sealant.
And once again we have a water tight, high quality flat roof for a fraction of what it could have cost replacing the whole roof.

Today we worked on a cottage in Bayfield Ontario, working on a 420 square foot flat roof. This roof was well past it’s life cycle, the membrane was coming apart and chipping it had lost its ability to remain watertight.
The membrane went underneath some shingles so we need to get the membrane under the shingles so that the water flows over the top. The nice part is the shingles were getting replaced in a couple of weeks which is great because we are going to increase the ability for the water to resist any type of water.
We put new metal flashing on the roof, and when we completed it the client will now have a roof that will last for 15-20 years. The roof came out great in the end and the client was very pleased. And we got to spend a day by the beach!

This was a return customer for a project we did on their lower tier flat roof in the summer of last year, you can check out that video here.
They called us back today as they were having some issues with some roof leaks in the top section of their roof. We saw many issues up on the roof, in one section of the membrane, the seal had broken so badly that I could put my hand into the seam!
I would have suggested a new roof but money was a factor for the client so we recommended a quality repair job, not just a patch. There were two leaks as well, so we suggested putting down sopa board, peel and stick membrane with base and cap, with new flashing to protect the roof from further water leaks.

This project was for a really nice home in West London, a very unique home with some unique problems. This roof had several leaks in it, and the client needed some repairs done before the winter freeze sets in. The roofs were different types of roofing systems which made it a really interesting project and meant we had to do some strategic thinking on how to get the repairs done. The client didn’t want a new roof system right now, just leak repairs.
There are a couple of sections you can see in the video. On one section the corner of the roof was leaking, which meant we had to create a tie in seam, degranulate the roof and bring a modified roof system up and over.
On the other section of roof we were asked to fix the flashing and old mastik had come away from the roof, so we put on a rubberized coating, let it set, then placed mesh over it and put more coating on it. This provides a seamless barrier between the roof and the weather and will stop water getting underneath the roof seal.
This method of roof leak repairs saves the process of replacing the entire roof, and we were really happy with the way it turned out.
