January brought a decent amount of snow to Toronto. Once the snow began melting we soon discovered a water leak in our daughter’s closet. It was no doubt due to ‘ice damming’ at the edge of the roof near the eaves trough. We called Canadian Roofing Company, which is in our neighbourhood (East York). Within two days they came over and looked at what was happening on the roof. Steve and Justin had me come up on the roof so I could see what they had diagnosed. Basically the flat roof section was not properly done by the previous roofers. There are three layers when the code says there should be a maximum of two (more weight causes the structure to lose its incline, which impacts the evacuation of the water). At the edge of roof the layer was not bonded and you could stick your hand in the hole. There were other issues with the roof, but this area was causing the leak in our home. Jason and Steve took the time to explain the issues regarding the leak and the roof itself, and also our options. That night I got a call from Jason Hunter, he explained to me again the findings of his foreman’s, and also gave me the background of the company (e.g. history, insured and bonded, location of his business, etc.). After discussing with my partner we opted for fixing the leak and not redoing the entire flat section of our roof. Our primary reason was budget constraints at this time. We will not hesitate to call when we are able to complete the entire roof. We thoroughly appreciated working with Jason and his team due to their honesty, integrity, and a fair price. Thank you for your help!!
