Professional Dundas Roofing Services

The Challenge:

Dundas's valley location and average 100cm annual snowfall create perfect conditions for ice dam formation. Snow accumulation on roofs, combined with freeze-thaw cycles common to the area, leads to dangerous ice buildup along eaves.

Our Solution:

We implement a comprehensive ice dam prevention system including enhanced insulation, proper ventilation, and premium ice and water shield extending 6 feet beyond the heated wall line. Regular maintenance programs help manage snow accumulation.

The Challenge:

Dundas experiences significant wind exposure due to its valley location and proximity to the Niagara Escarpment. Valley winds can funnel through the area, creating uplift pressures that stress roofing materials and flashings.

Our Solution:

We utilize high-wind rated shingles with enhanced nail patterns, wind-resistant starter strips, and specialized adhesive applications. Additional securing methods are used on ridge caps and valleys to prevent wind damage.

The Challenge:

Dundas faces temperature extremes ranging from summer highs above 30°C to winter lows below -20°C. These fluctuations cause expansion and contraction that can stress roofing materials and compromise seals.

Our Solution:

Our installations use temperature-resistant materials designed for Southern Ontario climate extremes. We implement proper expansion joints where needed and ensure adequate ventilation to moderate temperature impacts.

The Challenge:

The valley location creates higher humidity levels in Dundas, while spring thaws and heavy rains can lead to moisture accumulation. Historic homes in the area are particularly susceptible to moisture-related roofing issues.

Our Solution:

We install advanced moisture barriers and implement proper ventilation systems designed for Dundas's unique microclimate. Additional attention is paid to flashing details and drainage patterns to prevent water accumulation.
