Flat Roofing in Windsor

Flat Roofing for Windsor homes

Windsor's homes range from early-1900s brick houses in Walkerville and the older core to post-war bungalows and newer subdivisions in the east and south ends. Windsor has plenty of flat and low-slope roofs on the back additions of older homes, on corner storefronts with apartments above, and over porches. Many were built with minimal slope and patched many times, so we often find several old layers to remove before the new membrane goes down.

What's included

Low-slope roof replacement and repair with EPDM, TPO and modified bitumen membranes. Depending on your roof, the work can include:

• EPDM rubber
• TPO
• Modified bitumen
• Tapered insulation
• Flat roof repairs
• Find where the water goes.
• Choose the membrane.
• Fix the deck and slope.
• Detail the edges.

Local conditions in Windsor

Windsor's older homes often have steep, cut-up roofs with dormers, chimneys and porch roofs, while post-war bungalows have simple gables that are quick to reroof. On houses built before the 1950s, expect possible plank decking and multiple old layers; we plan for both in the quote rather than surprising you on the day.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for flat roofing in Windsor, get clear answers to these before signing:

• Which membrane do you recommend for my roof, and why?
• Will the old roof and any wet insulation be removed?
• How will you fix any ponding?
• How will edges, walls and drains be flashed?
• What maintenance does the new roof need?

Permits and approvals

Building permits in Windsor are issued by the City of Windsor's Building Services department. Replacing shingles with similar materials usually doesn't need a permit, but structural repairs, new roof framing, new skylight openings and changes to the roof structure generally do. We confirm what applies to your project during planning.
