NELLIE LAKE 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Owner wanted to ensure that upon selling his home there would be no issues with the roofing system. Shingles were in good condition. Shingles for this job were removed no rot was found. A synthetic underlay was installed on the roof decking. A strapping system installed on the underlay to allow airflow and provide proper fastening sub straight for metal panels. Chimney was flashed with an EPDM rubber flashing specific to metal roof systems. This chimney was close to the peak and did not require an extra snow stop system above it. In other cases when a chimney is close to the eave we would install bracing specific to metal roofs and a snow stop system adequate to protect the chimney and the braces from snow pressure. 

FYI: Metal roofing is reflective to the suns energy, this particular panel has a reflective paint system on it which reflects the suns energy away from the house. In the U.S these panels are recognized as energy efficient and hold an energy star rating. Reflective metal roofing can save your home up to 40% in summer cooling energy costs. Hopefully Canada will catch up to this and homeowners will be able to benefit with a rebate for installing a energy smart metal roof.

Project duration: 3 days
