The envelope takes the weather, so build it like it matters.
Toiture et revêtement · 1–3 weeks
Wind off the Baie-des-Chaleurs, freeze-thaw in March, salt air all year. Roofs and siding here fail at the details — so that is where we spend the money.
01 / Overview
What the job actually involves.
We tear off to the sheathing and look. Soft plywood, rusted flashing and rotten fascia are replaced, not shingled over — and photographed for you before they disappear under the new roof.
Ice-and-water membrane runs 900mm up from the eave, valleys are fully lined, and every penetration gets a proper boot. Siding gets a rainscreen so the wall can dry.
Included in every quote
- Full tear-off, sheathing inspection and rot replacement
- Ice-and-water to 900mm, synthetic underlayment throughout
- Continuous soffit and ridge venting, sized to the attic
- Rainscreen strapping behind board and vinyl siding
- New drip edge, fascia and reproduced trim profiles on heritage homes

The ones we get asked most.
Anything not here, call the shop. Marc answers his own phone between site visits.
Steel or shingles?
Shingles cost less up front and are easy to repair; steel lasts longer and sheds snow. On exposed sites near the water we usually recommend steel and say so in the estimate.
Will you work in winter?
Roofing, only in a stretch of dry weather above about -5°C — adhesives need it. Siding and soffit work continues most of the winter.
What if it rains mid-job?
Every section we open gets dried in the same day. If weather closes in, we stop at a watertight line rather than pushing to finish.
Do you match old trim?
Yes. We copy profiles on the shop moulder so new casing and brackets read the same from the sidewalk.
