Ice dams are classified as ridges of ice that form at the edge of a roof due to continuous melting and refreezing of snow. This ice blocks snow and water from draining off of roofs and can cause foundational issues and leaking in improperly insulated and ventilated homes.

Don’t let the Harsh Canadian Elements put your Roof in Disrepair

Having a roof in disrepair is dangerous for both your family and your home in any location, but the brutal Canadian climate makes this all the more perilous. Most of the public doesn’t know the intricacies of roof management or the dangers of living in a home that is in need of serious roofing repair. The roof seems like background maintenance, only to be paid attention when there are obvious signs of wear. However, as anyone who has gone through a roofing collapse or similar disaster will tell you, keeping your roof current with the proper repairs is of vital importance.

The key to roof maintenance is a relationship with a trusted professional roofer in your area. If you live outside of the Greater Toronto Area, you can check online reviews, ask for advice from friends, and call your local roofing companies for suggestions. However, for the GTA, Roof Pro Plus is the only choice for a professional roofer. With decades of experience in our region and the most detail-oriented staff available, we have developed relationships with countless families across the region.

Once you have found a trusted roofer that you have developed good rapport with, you can get updates and repair work done with less cost and hassle. The relationship allows your roofer to become very well-acquainted with your residence, your budget, and your needs. Most homeowners are reluctant to call a roofer for minor repairs because of the potential cost. When you have a relationship with your personal roofer, it is much easier to receive detailed information quickly, a diagnosis of the overall health of your roof without being sold unnecessary repairs.

Roof Pro Plus offers a myriad of roofing repair services for the residential homeowner. We repair blown off shingles, replace and re-seal metal flashings, re-insulate attics, and install new downpipes or additional roof vents. We also unclog downpipes, repair damage caused by wildlife, and remove damage caused by the elements, such as snow or ice. Please call Roof Pro Plus today, and have your roof diagnosed by trusted professional roofers at a fraction of the cost.
