From lake-effect snow to summer heat waves, Kitchener roofs face unique challenges. Here's how we engineer protection.
Balanced attic ventilation prevents ice dams, extends roof life, and reduces energy costs
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
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
The Challenge:
-30°C winters to +35°C summers cause expansion/contraction stress
Our Solution:
Flexible synthetic underlayment + proper fastener spacing allows seasonal movement
The Challenge:
Lake-effect moisture and humid summers promote algae, moss, and rot
Our Solution:
Algae-resistant shingles + ventilation + deck moisture barriers prevent growth
