Roofing systems are designed to last. Unfortunately, there are a number of factors that are not favorable and can significantly shorten the life of any roofing system. When installing a new roofing system, it’s important to understand and eliminate life-shortening factors. Understanding these factors will help you make informed decisions when purchasing a roofing system and selecting a contractor.
When a roof is in a state of deterioration, water seeps beneath the roofing materials. This moisture can then migrate down to the roof deck. This can cause it to rot. In addition, excess moisture can lead to mould and rot problems throughout your home, affecting walls, ceilings, insulation, and more.
Possible Solution
If you don’t feel comfortable inspecting your attic or roof deck yourself, consider hiring a qualified roofing professional to assess the situation.
In the meantime, you can try to improve the ventilation in your attic by opening up any vents or louvers.
Keeping trees off your roof. Tree trouble can mean trouble for your roof!
Here are some reasons why:
Possible Solution
The solution is simple: regularly trim trees around your home, especially those near the roofline. This will prevent branches from becoming a hazard and keep leaves off your roof.
Quality Roofers Toronto help protect your roof when the wind blows, because high winds pose a serious threat to your roof in several ways:
To avoid the domino effect, even if you’re only missing a few shingles after a storm, it’s important to address the problem immediately.
Why? Because damaged shingles lose their ability to seal properly, becoming loose and flapping in the wind. This flapping creates stress cracks, making them more likely to fall apart completely over time. It’s a domino effect you want to avoid!
Possible Solution
We understand the importance of a wind-resistant roof. That’s why we use materials and installation techniques specifically designed to withstand winds up to 130 mph, giving your home an extra layer of protection.
Your roof is constantly exposed to the harsh rays of the sun. Over time, the heat and ultraviolet (UV) rays can break down your roofing materials and accessories. This wear and tear occurs more quickly on south- and west-facing roofs, which receive the brunt of the sun’s heat.
Possible Solution
Improve ventilation: Proper airflow helps your roof dissipate heat and moisture. Consider installing ridge vents or having a professional evaluate your soffit vents for optimal ventilation.
Modern Shingles: Today’s shingles are formulated to withstand heat better than older options. Upgrading to architectural shingles can provide additional protection.
Hailstorms can wreak havoc on your roof, and the damage may not be immediately obvious. Here are some signs to look for:
Bruises and punctures: Hail, regardless of size or shape, can leave bruises and punctures on the surface of your roof. These weak spots lead to accelerated loss of protective granules and damage to the underlying mat, exposing your roof to the elements.
Leaking roofs: Hail damage often takes time to manifest as leaks, sometimes appearing months after the storm. This is why a thorough inspection is critical.
Possible Solution
Unfortunately, hail-damaged roofs usually require complete replacement. The good news? Most homeowners insurance policies cover hail damage. Quality Roofers Toronto can certainly help, contact us for a free quote now!
Snow on your roof can be beautiful, but it can also cause problems. As warm air escapes from your home, it melts the snow on the bottom layer. This melted water travels down the roof until it reaches the overhang, where it meets the colder outside temperature and refreezes. This creates an ice dam, a barrier that prevents proper drainage into the gutters.
The problem with ice dams is that they cause water to pond under your shingles or other roofing materials, allowing it to seep into your attic and potentially your living space.
This can cause interior water damage: Leaking water can cause serious damage to ceilings, walls, insulation, and even electrical systems.
Damaged gutters and downspouts: Early melt water can overload frozen gutters, causing them to crack or even detach from your home.
Possible Solution
The Ontario Building Code requires shingle, shake and tile roofs to have a roof eave flashing. This acts as a barrier under your shingles to prevent leaks caused by ice dams. For extreme conditions heat tape can be installed in gutters to help melt ice and prevent ice dams in situations where there is heavy snowfall or persistent ice buildup.
Important Note: Ice and water shield is typically only used on roof sections that cover heated areas, such as your living space. Garages and open porches that aren’t heated usually don’t need it.
Shingle SOS: Missing or Torn Shingles
A complete layer of shingles is essential to a healthy roof. Missing or torn shingles leave your home vulnerable in several ways:
Water infiltration: Exposed areas under the missing shingles become entry points for water, leading to leaks and potential interior damage.
Rot development: Moisture trapped under damaged shingles creates a breeding ground for rot, which can weaken the roof structure.
Domino Effect: Missing shingles compromise the integrity of surrounding shingles, making them more susceptible to tearing or blowing off in the future.

This is a clear sign of a roof leak allowing water to enter. Don’t delay – fix the leak immediately to prevent further damage.
Dark stains or bulging areas on your ceiling indicate a water leak from above. Investigate the source of the leak and address the roof problem.
Missing or damaged shingles expose the underlayment to the elements. Replace missing shingles and secure loose shingles to prevent leaks.
Rust stains running down the sides of your home can come from rusted flashing around chimneys, vents, or skylights. Rusty flashing needs to be repaired to prevent leaks.
Damp or discolored wood in your attic or under your eaves indicates water infiltration. This can lead to rot and structural problems.
A damaged or poorly insulated roof can cause your HVAC system to work harder to maintain comfortable temperatures, resulting in higher energy bills. Consider a roof inspection and possible improvements.
Hearing dripping or trickling in your attic during rain or snowmelt indicates that water is making its way through the roof. Locate the source and address the roof problem.
Flashing creates watertight seals around roof penetrations such as chimneys and vents. Cracked or bent flashing needs to be repaired to prevent leaks.
Asphalt shingles that appear excessively dark or streaky may have lost their protective granules, exposing the asphalt layer and making the roof more vulnerable.
An excessive amount of shingle granules in your gutters indicates shingle wear and potential for leaks. Consider a roof inspection and possible re-roofing.
Taking on a roof replacement yourself can cause delays. Hiring a professional ensures efficiency. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
Every roof replacement starts with a thorough inspection. Professionals will look for signs of leaks, rot, and loose shingles to determine what needs repair or replacement.
Based on the inspection and your local climate, the contractor will recommend the best roofing materials. They’ll consider factors like durability, cost, energy efficiency, and aesthetics.
Roof replacements require permits to comply with local building codes. This process can be time-consuming, so make sure it’s one of the first things you do.
Once you have the materials and permits, the project is scheduled. This considers the size and complexity of your roof, weather conditions, and contractor availability.
Before new materials are installed, the old roof needs to be removed. This tear-off phase typically takes several hours.
Once the old roof is gone, a new water-resistant layer called underlayment is installed. This acts like a waterproof suit for your roof.
After laying the underlayment, the roofer meticulously applies shingles, starting from the bottom and working their way up. Special care is taken in valleys to prevent leaks. Finally, the peak gets capped off with ridge caps for a polished look.
The final step is a close inspection to ensure everything meets building codes. The roofer will then clean up and provide you with maintenance needs and warranty information. Now you can relax with your secure, brand new roof!
