Al in Leslieville

Our semi-detached 90 year old double brick home had a roof done in 2000 but the flat roof portion between the dormers started leaking 3 years later. The contractor had moved. We tried several inexpensive patch repairs which would last only a year or so. We decided in summer of 2009 that the roof had to be fixed permanently so got a couple quotes and found that, though not as cheap, Mr. Roof Repair appeared most able to solve our leak problem. The repair was done by Arthur and helper in one day and involved removing 7 layers of old roofing materials which our roofer in 2000 failed to do (perhaps because we couldn't see that part of the roof and didn't wish to climb up to those heights for inspection??). The new impervious board and membrane were run 3-4 feet up the dormers (after the shingles were removed) to prevent osomosis of water and then reshingled. A new drain was installed at the front to prevent possible leakage in this area. Through all stages Arthur took photos from original roof, down through the old layers and then back up through the new roofing to the finished product. We could download these photos from the Mr. Roof Repair website. Overall we are very pleased with the service. Has the leak stopped? Well, we will need a couple years to see but we have the general belief that it will be good for many, many years to come...unlike the last roof job in 2000.
