Flat roofing contractor in Terrebonne

Being local changes how we work. We can swing by to check a drain after a heavy rain, come back to look at a repair during the thaw or put up a temporary cover without waiting until the next day. Gerald Garcia, who founded the company, has been working on flat roofs for more than 15 years, from the old buildings near Île-des-Moulins to the new ones in Urbanova.

Why a local roofer matters for the follow-up

A flat roof isn't always sorted out in one visit. A puddle that won't go away, a drain that freezes in March or a leak that only appears with an east wind sometimes means coming back to watch the roof under different conditions. Since our trucks head out from Terrebonne, those follow-up visits are easy to arrange, and you're not waiting for an out-of-town contractor to be in the area again.

Every visit ends with a photo report. You see what we saw, the quote comes in writing, and our workmanship warranty is spelled out on paper too.

Townhouses and condos in Urbanova and Lachenaie

Terrebonne's newer developments include a lot of townhouses and small condo buildings with flat roofs. Up top you'll find air exchanger outlets, plumbing vents, heat pump stands and sometimes railings for a roof terrace. Each one is a membrane connection that has to stay watertight, and it's often where the first leak turns up on an otherwise new building.

For a condo syndicate, we inspect the entire roof and describe the condition of every connection in the report, which makes it easier to plan the work and present it at a general meeting.

• Connections around ventilation outlets and plumbing vents
• Equipment stands sitting on the membrane or screwed through it
• Construction debris left behind in the drains
• Membrane seams at the base of taller walls

Old Terrebonne: flat roofs hiding behind the facades

Around Île-des-Moulins, several older buildings hide a flat roof behind a front wall or a brick parapet. Some still have tar and gravel, others a membrane laid over an older system. The parapet cap, the flashing against the neighbour's brick and the condition of the wood under the roofing all deserve a careful look, and we carry out the work with respect for the building's character. Where the roof meets the wall of a neighbouring building, we also make sure the two roofs aren't sending water toward each other.
