Asphalt shingle roofing in Terrebonne

Gerald Garcia has been installing shingles for more than 15 years, and his company has held its RBQ licence since 2015. In Terrebonne he knows the subdivision homes of La Plaine as well as the steeper roofs on the older streets. What follows explains how we treat a shingle roof as a whole, and why being nearby makes a difference for you.

A shingle roofer based right here in Terrebonne

Being local is practical first of all: we can come measure your roof quickly, and your free written quote reaches you within 24 hours. It also makes things simpler after the install. If a flashing needs checking after the first big storm, or the attic deserves a look during the first winter, we're never far away.

Being close doesn't replace doing the work carefully. Every re-roof is documented in photos, from tear-off to ridge caps, and comes with a written workmanship warranty. Our 4.8 out of 5 rating on Google reflects that attention to detail.

The attic: the hidden half of a shingle roof

New shingles over a poorly ventilated attic age faster. In summer, trapped heat bakes the asphalt from below. In winter, household moisture condenses under the deck. For air to move, it has to come in at the soffits and leave at the top of the roof, in balanced amounts.

In many Lachenaie and La Plaine homes, insulation added over the years has blocked the soffits. During a re-roof we check the intake from inside the attic, install baffles between the rafters where needed to keep a clear channel above the insulation, and adjust the exhaust at the ridge. You won't see that work once the roof is finished, but it's what protects your investment.

Valleys, dormers and walls: where workmanship shows

On a plain stretch of roof, almost any roofer can lay straight shingles. The difference shows wherever the roof changes direction. A valley can be open, with a visible metal channel, or closed, with the shingles woven or cut down the middle. Both work when the membrane underneath is continuous and the cuts are clean.

At dormers and along walls, small step flashings slip under each course and behind the siding. On the cut-up roofs of newer Urbanova homes and on the dormers of Old Terrebonne, that patient work is the difference between a roof that stays dry and one that leaks at the first thaw.
