Roofs in Bois-des-Filion
Bois-des-Filion is mostly bungalows, two-storey homes and small single-storey houses, many expanded or renovated in stages over the years. Asphalt shingle roofs dominate, with typical issues like poorly sealed vents, worn chimney flashing and sometimes rushed earlier repairs. Along Boulevard Adolphe-Chapleau there are also flat-roofed shops.
What we find when we get up on Bois-des-Filion roofs
- Repairs made with roofing tar troweled on thick around chimneys and vents, which cracks in the cold and traps water behind it.
- Exposed nail heads on the last ridge courses that rust and let water through drop by drop.
- Replacement shingles of another brand slipped under existing rows without being properly nailed.
- Low-slope additions near the river where ice builds up in the same spot every winter.
Sizing up repairs made by previous owners
Many houses in Bois-des-Filion were renovated in stages, sometimes by the owner, sometimes by a contractor in a hurry. On the roof, that shows up as layers of black tar around chimneys, shingles in a different colour or flashing smothered in sealant. Not all of these repairs are bad, but they often hide the real problem. Tar around a chimney, for instance, rarely does the job of properly installed metal flashing.
During an inspection, we look at every past repair and tell you which ones are holding and which are likely to fail. On a small house you don't always need to redo everything: replacing a flashing, redoing a small section or reworking the ridge is sometimes enough to extend the roof's life by several years. We lay out the options with photos, from simplest to most complete.
Winter in Bois-des-Filion
Near the Rivière des Mille Îles, humidity and mature trees on riverside lots encourage moss and clogged gutters. Lower houses and low-slope additions are the most prone to ice dams.

FAQ
FAQ: roofing in Bois-des-Filion
Do you do small roof repairs in Bois-des-Filion?
Yes. A torn-off shingle, a leaking vent or chimney flashing that needs redoing are repairs we do all the time. We'll tell you honestly whether a repair will do or whether the roof is nearing the end of its life.
Do I need a permit to redo my roof in Bois-des-Filion?
Most municipalities require a permit or declaration of work for a roof replacement, while small repairs are often treated differently. Check with the City of Bois-des-Filion based on the scope of your project. We can help with the request.
Someone put tar around my chimney. Is that a proper repair?
It's a temporary fix. Tar dries out, cracks in the cold and pulls away from the brick over the years. The lasting repair is two-part metal flashing, with the upper piece set into the chimney's mortar joints.
My low-slope addition leaks every spring. What can be done?
On a low slope, shingles alone often can't stop water backing up when ice blocks the runoff. Depending on the pitch, we can install a full membrane under the shingles or replace the roofing with a membrane made for low-slope roofs. We also check the ventilation to limit ice buildup.
