Essential Roofing Components
Roof Decking
Structural foundation (typically OSB or plywood) that supports entire roofing system. We inspect and replace damaged sections.
Ice & Water Shield
Self-sealing membrane along eaves, valleys, and penetrations prevents ice dam leaks and wind-driven rain.
Synthetic Underlayment
Waterproof barrier over entire deck provides secondary protection and prevents moisture infiltration.
Starter Shingles
Specialized first row prevents wind blow-off and creates watertight seal along roof edges.
Architectural Shingles
Primary weather barrier with multi-layer construction, wind resistance, and 50-year warranties.
Ridge Cap Shingles
Pre-bent shingles seal roof peak and hip ridges with enhanced wind resistance.
Attic Ventilation
Balanced intake (soffit) and exhaust (ridge vent) prevents moisture, heat buildup, and ice dams.
Flashing Systems
Metal barriers around chimneys, vents, skylights, and walls prevent water intrusion at vulnerable joints.

Ice & Water + Underlayment
Self-sealing ice & water shield goes along eaves (to warm wall), valleys, and all penetrations. Premium synthetic underlayment covers entire deck.
Ventilation Installation
We install ridge vents, soffit intake vents, and additional exhaust as needed to achieve balanced airflow per building code requirements.

How We Protect Appleby Roofs from Ontario's Extreme Weather
From lake-effect snow to summer heat waves, Appleby roofs face unique challenges. Here's how we engineer protection.
unoptimized=onError=Balanced attic ventilation prevents ice dams, extends roof life, and reduces energy costs
Ice Dam Prevention
The Challenge:
Heavy snow + freeze-thaw cycles create ice dams that force water under shingles
Our Solution:
Extended ice & water shield + balanced ventilation keeps attic cold and prevents melt/refreeze
High Wind Protection
The Challenge:
Lake winds and storms can reach 80+ km/h, lifting shingles and exposing deck
Our Solution:
6-nail fastening pattern + Class F wind-rated shingles (130 MPH) + starter course
Extreme Temperature Swings
The Challenge:
-30°C winters to +35°C summers cause expansion/contraction stress
Our Solution:
Flexible synthetic underlayment + proper fastener spacing allows seasonal movement
Moisture & Humidity
The Challenge:
Lake-effect moisture and humid summers promote algae, moss, and rot
Our Solution:
Algae-resistant shingles + ventilation + deck moisture barriers prevent growth
Ironclad Warranties
