However, some major problems can happen swiftly with little warning in such a rugged climate, and we will be there with expert roofing guidance and expertise when you need us.

Hurricane Sandy Marks Start of Brutal Winter Season

Snow, Rain, and High Winds Cause for Roofing Concern

Brutal Winter - Is Your Roof Prepared
Brutal Winter - Is Your Roof Prepared

When the expert meteorologists claimed earlier this year that this season could be a harsh one for Ontario, they seemed to have made an accurate prediction. The first major hurricane of winter is quickly approaching the United States eastern seaboard, and this monstrous hurricane will have an effect on parts of southern and eastern Ontario. This means a special danger for homes in need of roofing maintenance and repair.

We are no strangers to harsh winter weather, but 2012 poses a special type of threat, the likes of which we will see in the earlier parts of next week. While it is too early to tell if hurricane Sandy will cause major snow in the area, heavy winds and rains are expected to hit the area early next week. Roof Pro + recommends constant roof attention to ensure that a major disaster does not occur, but this will be especially important over the coming months. Now is the time to call your local roofing experts, and we are only a phone call away.

Our roofing specialists are specifically trained in all aspects of special Canadian roofing concerns, which are specialized due to our harsh winter hurricane and storm season. Far too many homeowners do not think of their roofing when preparing for this season, and we are here to inform you of the special measures that need to be taken before a major meteorological event occurs.

Roof Pro + offers roof diagnosis, maintenance, and repair services all year round, and we are here to service the Ontario community when you are in need. Furthermore, we offer special disaster roof services in the case of a collapse or other major event.

Winter is Back in Ontario!

Long Winter Forecast Means Special Roofing Care a Necessity

Special Winter Roofing Care
Special Winter Roofing Care

Here in Ontario, we know exactly what it means to have a long, harsh, brutal winter, and homeowners know that this means extreme care and attention must be paid to the condition of one’s roof before the winter storms begin. Our rugged Canadian climate can be unmerciful this time of year, and here at Roof Pro +, we want to make sure you are prepared for an arduous winter season. As your local roofing professionals, it is our duty to inform you that this winter will be nothing like the last.

We had a break last year in Ontario, as the winter season was surprisingly short. With our informed and knowledgeable community, there were fewer roofing disasters than expected, especially with regard to our own clients. This is because we make sure that all your roofing needs are taken care of far in advance. We specialize in all aspects of roofing, but place special emphasis on regular roofing maintenance and make sure that you are protected before the winter months hit. Nothing is worse than a major roofing calamity during a harsh winter storm, so we do our best to make sure our clients are prepared to face such a disaster.

Unfortunately, this year is expected to be nothing like the last. While the short winter season gave many of us a great sense of hope, this season is expected to be long and harsh. Apparently, this winter season is supposed to be longer and colder than in previous years, with “blizzard-like” conditions in Ontario’s Snowbelt. With these ominous weather predictions, we want to make sure our community understands the dangers this harsh winter will produce for homeowners, especially in regard to your roofing situation.

You do not need a roofing professional to tell you that weather conditions and stresses pose the greatest threat to your roofing situation. Nor do we need to explain that having a strong roof that can stand the winter months is imperative to the security and protection of your family. These facts are common sense. However, as your leading Ontario roofers, we must implore you to have an expert check the condition of your roof to make sure it is 100% before the winter months arrive. Roof Pro + is your leader in roof maintenance and disaster prevention, so please call us before this long, harsh winter is upon us.

Roofing Management and Winter Storms

Post-Tropical Storm Leslie Reminds Homeowners of Roofing Importance

Roofing Management and Winter Storms
Roofing Management and Winter Storms

Last month, post-tropical storm Leslie pounded Newfoundland, causing power outages, uprooted trees, and roof devastation. While those accustomed to the harsh Canadian climate are fully aware of these dangers, it serves as an important reminder of the necessity of proper roofing. Roofing maintenance and inspection should be performed regularly, especially with the prevalence and power of Canada’s rugged winter storms.

We live in a beautiful area of pristine wildlife and iconic winter views, but this majestic location can be very dangerous as well. In order to properly protect your home and family, proper roofing may be the most important aspect of living in the Ontario area. Disaster preparedness should be at the forefront of any homeowner’s mind, and roofing is at the top of this list. While backup power, emergency kits, and crisis planning are all important, having a durable and healthy roof may be the most essential factor during a crisis.

Far too many homeowners do not think about their roofing situation until it is too late. The roof is seen as an afterthought, an aspect of the home that only needs attention when there is a definite need for repair. Nothing could be further from the truth. Roofing is subjected to the harshest of the elements, constantly being tested, battered, and belted with harsh winter weather. Much like a vehicle, regular inspection and maintenance is necessary before real trouble occurs. If this is not done, a winter storm can become a calamity that may cost you thousands.

Roofing Professionals Invaluable for Summer Olympics

London Undergoes Massive Transformation for 2012, Will Toronto Follow?

The Summer Olympics are underway, and the entire world watches as their prospective athletes compete for glory in the city of London. However, in order to host such a global event, a city must make drastic changes to its skyline, and roofing professionals are an absolute necessity for these changes. Without city professionals who specialize in roofing, the structures built for these titanic events would be very hazardous, endangering the lives of olympians and spectators alike.

This is of special interest for our Greater Toronto Area, as we consider a bid for the 2024 olympics.

There is renewed interest for the Olympic games in Toronto, as well as a bid for the 2025 World’s Expo. There is no doubt that our beautiful region would be perfect for these events, but roofing professionals must be utilized for the safety of the attendees, as many of these structures will be built solely for the event. We have just recently seen the effects of improper roofing practices in Toronto, as a roof collapse at a Radiohead performance led to the death of a crew member.

Toronto is already slated to host the 2015 Pan American/Parapan American Games. In just three years time, there will be a massive influx of travelers from around the world. Through the help of roofing professionals, we are already preparing for it. This is wonderful news, as any roofer will tell you, as it allows the city to professionally plan and take as many safety precautions as possible. This is especially true in the case of roofing, and reminds us all to perform regular maintenance on our roofs.

Even though a structure has been secure for many years does not mean that your roof is immune from harm. In fact, this is usually the opposite of the truth, for the longer your house stands, the more likely your roof has worn and is in need of repair. These olympic structures may be newly built, but they have been completed under the watchful eye of true roofing professionals.

Toronto Summer Storm Causes Flooding and Road Closures

Roof Pro Plus Advises to Keep Close Eye on Roofing Health

Last week, a powerful thunderstorm ravaged the Greater Toronto Area, wreaking havoc on roadways by causing flooding and road closures. The most obvious damage to our region came in the form of a massive downpour, but the strong gusts of wind caused damage to many homes, especially local families’ roofing structures.

The city is now looking into improving our local sewer system in order to better protect our citizens from the dangers of flooding and future storms. Roof Pro Plus encourages everyone living in the area to keep a close eye on the condition of their roofs, and to look for any potential damage caused by the recent storm.

Any visible damage can be a potential threat, as our rugged Canadian climate is prone to many changes in the season, highlighted by this most recent summer storm. We must be more careful than other regions because our roofing is exposed to such extreme weather conditions. The most common damages to your roof will come in the form of blown off shingles or damaged eaves. Both parts of your roof are put under extreme pressure during a storm that is heavy with rain and wind.

These may seem like minor aesthetic problems, but can often be a sign of deeper damage. Never take surface damage at face value, and we advise calling your local professional roofing specialists if you have any doubt of the overall condition of your roof.

Roof Pro Plus is always available to diagnose potential problems, and we encourage you to seek our advice if there has been any damage caused by the recent storm. This storm is only one of many, and even if the damage seems aesthetic in nature, there is no telling what the next meteorological event will bring.

Roofing Repairs

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.

Your Roof and the Toronto Summer Heat

Changes in Temperature Cause Stress to your Roof

Can you feel the heat? The city of Toronto issued a heat wave warning early Thursday, in anticipation of “oven-like” temperatures that you are no doubt experiencing this very moment. Roofing companies all across the greater Toronto area will advise you to take extra care of your roof during this time, especially if your roof has pre-existing damage.

Yesterday’s 2 pm high of 32 degrees slammed the city and surrounding area, as the heat reached nearly 50 percent above normal temperature. Last week, the area was hotter than the Sahara, and this is not an uncommon occurrence. The harsh Toronto climate can be intense in both Summer and Winter, with massive temperature fluctuations over the course of these seasons. These fluctuations are very tough on your roof, and the heat and moisture can cause the materials to expand and retract.

At Roof Pro Plus, we want to implore you to pay extra careful attention to the condition of your roof during these periods of intense weather. We are a roofing company that wants to make sure our clients are well-informed and are prepared for the maintenance involved in taking care of a roof. We are also always available to diagnose problem areas or locations of weather damage. If you have the slightest concern about your roof, please call or request a free estimate today! Toronto’s best roofing company is at the ready, even in the midst of a brutal heatwave.
