Shingle roofing is an excellent choice for residential properties, offering a blend of affordability, versatility, and durability. At Veronica Contracting Inc., we recommend shingle roofs to homeowners because they enhance a home’s visual appeal, require minimal maintenance, and can last up to 40 years with proper care. Among the various shingle options, asphalt shingles are particularly popular in GTA due to their cost-effectiveness and durability. With appropriate maintenance, asphalt shingles making them a smart investment, especially for re-roofing projects. One of the significant advantages of shingle roofing is its ease of installation. Compared to another type of roofs, shingle roofs can be installed more quickly, depending on factors such as roof size, weather conditions, and the existing structure. Additionally, shingle roofs are straightforward to repair, allowing for quick fixes when minor issues arise, ensuring your roof remains in optimal condition. In summary, shingle roofing offers a practical and aesthetically pleasing solution for homeowners, combining longevity, low maintenance, and ease of repair—making it an ideal choice that balances style and functionality.
Initial Roof Inspection: Assessing the condition of the current roof to determine the extent of damage and if a full replacement is necessary.
Estimate and Materials: Providing a cost estimate and selecting appropriate materials (e.g., asphalt shingles, underlayment, flashing).
Tear-Off: Stripping away the old shingles and underlayment down to the decking.
Disposal: Proper removal and disposal of old materials in compliance with local regulations.
Checking the roof deck (wood sheathing) for rot or damage.
Replacing any damaged or compromised decking.
Waterproofing: Installing a water-resistant underlayment (e.g., felt paper or synthetic material) to provide an extra layer of protection.
Ice and Water Shield: In colder climates, install ice and water shield on the eaves , around edges and valleys to prevent water infiltration.
Replacing or installing metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys to ensure proper water drainage and sealing.
Installing new shingles according to the manufacturer’s specifications, starting at the roof’s bottom edge and working upward.
Ensuring proper alignment and overlapping to prevent leaks.
Ensuring proper attic ventilation by installing ridge vents, gable vents, or other ventilation systems.
Adding ridge caps at the roof’s peaks for a finished look and added protection.
Quality Check: Inspecting the installation for proper alignment, sealing, and adherence to building codes.
Cleanup: Removing debris, nails, and leftover materials from the site.
Providing warranties for materials and workmanship.
Offering documentation for insurance or future reference.
Steel roofs are highly durable, capable of withstanding extreme climates and resisting corrosion for over 50 years. They offer an excellent return on investment over the lifespan of the roof. Unlike other materials, steel does not expand or contract with temperature fluctuations, ensuring long-term stability. Additionally, steel roofs are available in a wide variety of colors and profiles, making them both functional and aesthetically versatile.
Depending on the type of metal roofing system installed, removing old shingles may not always be necessary.
INSTALLATION PROCESS
• Metal tile roofs and corrugated sheet metal roofs can often be installed directly over old asphalt shingles.
• However, for certain systems like standing seam metal roofing, a clean base may be required.
Waterproofing Layer
Every metal roof requires a waterproofing membrane installed over plywood in new construction.
• If a metal roof is installed over existing asphalt shingles, the old shingles typically act as a protective layer.
• In new construction, a waterproofing membrane prevents moisture and condensation issues.
Wooden Strapping Installation
Strapping, or wooden planks, is installed over the insulation layer or old roofing.
• For metal tile roofs, double strapping is recommended for better support and airflow.
• Wooden strapping creates a ventilation gap beneath the metal sheets, reducing moisture build-up and protecting against fungi and moss growth.
Roof Perimeter Flashing
Perimeter flashings are installed along the roof edges to guard against:
• Moisture
• Debris
• Strong winds
• Made from the same material as the metal roof, they ensure a seamless, durable connection.
• Flashings are secured with self-tapping screws for a snug, protective fit.
Roof Valleys Installation
Roof valleys, the points where slopes intersect, are prone to leaks and require special attention.
• Protective valleys are installed under the base layer to direct water into the drainage system.
• Waterproofing membranes are added for extra protection against leaks.
Mounting Metal Sheets
The primary metal roof covering is installed directly onto the double strapping using screws or clips, depending on the system.
• Metal tile sheets: Installed bottom to top with overlapping rows to facilitate water drainage.
• Standing seam metal roofs: Installed vertically with a hidden fastener system for a sleek look.
Ridge Elements Installation
Ridge elements protect the roof's edge and internal structure from water ingress.
• They also provide a finished, decorative appearance, hiding the inner layers of the roof.
Installing Snow Stops or Snow Guards
Snow guards prevent heavy snow or ice from sliding off the roof in large, dangerous chunks.
• Snow and ice are broken into smaller, manageable pieces, protecting people and property below.
• These are essential for regions like Toronto, where winters bring significant snow.

At Veronica Contracting Inc, we provide Free roof inspection!
Environmental changes of temperature, rain, snow, sleet, ice, ultraviolet radiation, damp shade, wet leaves and any number of factors can take their toll on roofing such as asphalt shingles, according to roofing repair Toronto experts. Two times a year, for example in the Spring and Fall it is a smart idea to walk the roof and make a visual inspection of its condition. You can, of course, try to gauge condition from the ground using binoculars but better results will happen if you get up on the roof and walk it. Please note that whenever using a ladder to access the roof you should know and apply ladder safety. If it does not work you may call emergency roof repair Toronto service specialist or any roofing contractor Toronto you trust.
Here are some key areas to evaluate when making a visual roof inspection. You'll want to check the main roof components involving shingles, flashing and gutters.
Check the Roof Shingles:
Check the condition of your roof's shingles. Damaged shingles that are loose, curled, blistered, broken or even missing need to be repaired quickly. Carefully lift a shingle and make sure you see roofing underlayment between the shingles and the roof decking. If this critical underlayment is missing the roof has been installed improperly and needs replacement. Without underlayment, water damage will continue to occur in your home and to the roof shingles.
Shingles that curl up or down do it as a result of being improper installed, due to environmental conditions or age.
Buckling shingles are usually caused by a lack of roofing underlayment.
Cracked or bent shingles often occur as a result of weather conditions, age and general wear.
Roof shingles disintegrating from age is a serious problem requiring roof replacement.
Check the ridge shingles for cracks or failure. Leakage here can present itself anyplace inside your home.
Shingles missing or damaged from wind, hail or impact or other causes of environmental roof damage such as moss will need to be replaced.
Check for granular erosion of the roof shingles. This is a sign of deterioration and will require new roof shingles soon.

Check the Roof Flashing:
Check the roof valleys (where two different roof planes meet) for cracked roofing, holes in any patches or failure of any metal valley flashing. Valleys are particularly vulnerable to leaks.
Check for roof flashing damage in step flashing at walls and around chimneys. Make sure there are no gaps between the flashing and the wall.
Check for flashing damage around roof penetrations such as vent pipes. They should be tight, sealed with a flashing boot and pliable caulking or bituminous roofing cement. Be on the lookout for a missing rubber flashing boot, improperly installed flashing boot such as the metal base of the flashing boot isn't covered by shingles at the sides and above the stack, overall flashing damage, visible nail heads securing the boot flashing to the roof deck, the boot is coated with dried and cracked roof cement.

Check the Roof Gutters:
A telltale sign of granular erosion of asphalt roofing shingles is finding lots of tiny roof granules in the gutters. This is a sign of age and deterioration.
make sure the gutter and downspout system is cleaned out and functioning properly. If the guttering does not work and is clogged, water can build up under lower edge roof shingles and also drain behind the gutter and rot the fascia boards.

Need quick and affordable roof repair services? Our team of experts is just a call away to fix any roofing issues you may have.
Over time, even the most durable shingle roofs can develop issues due to wear and tear, extreme weather conditions, or aging. Fortunately, with timely repair or restoration, you can extend the life of your roof and maintain its structural integrity and visual appeal.
Common Issues Requiring Shingle Roof Repair
1. Damaged or Missing Shingles
Strong winds, hail, or heavy rain can cause shingles to crack, curl, or fall off, exposing the underlying structure to potential water damage.
2. Leaks and Water Damage
Improper sealing, worn-out flashing, or damaged shingles can lead to leaks, causing rot and mold inside the home.
3. Granule Loss
Over time, shingles may lose their protective granules, reducing their ability to shield against UV rays and weather elements.
4. Algae and Moss Growth
Moisture and shade can encourage moss or algae growth, which not only affects your roof’s appearance but can also degrade shingles.
Benefits of Shingle Roof Restoration
Instead of a full replacement, restoration can breathe new life into your roof at a fraction of the cost.
• Enhanced Durability: Repairs reinforce weak areas and protect against future damage.
• Improved Aesthetics: Replacing damaged shingles and removing moss or algae restores your roof’s clean, fresh look.
