How We Protect Dundas Roofs from Ontario's Extreme Weather

From lake-effect snow to summer heat waves, Dundas roofs face unique challenges. Here's how we engineer protection.

3D Attic Ventilation System with Airflow

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
