Roof Repair Services in Durham Region
If you're reading this, it's probably because your roof is giving you some trouble. When it comes to proper roof repair, you need more than a handyman and a ladder. You need an experienced team that has seen it all and fixed it all, plus has a reputation to uphold from a job well done.
At C.D. Roofing & Construction Ltd. we have been fixing roofs in Durham Region for more than a decade. It's not glamorous work, but someone has to get it right!
Why do all our customers keep coming back (and telling their neighbors all about us)?
There is one thing about roof repair – everyone says they can do it – but where the proof is, is when the next storm comes and your ceiling stays nice and dry.
We are licensed and insured, because that's a prerequisite. The manufacturers approve, meaning we know how it's supposed to work. The real test? Our warranty on our workmanship because we believe in what we do.
Last month, I received a call from a homeowner in Whitby who explained to me that after having three other roofing contractors out, he got three different opinions of where the roof leak was coming from. It turned out not to be the shingles at all – just some flashing that had come loose through ice storms. A few minutes later, this homeowner saved thousands of dollars on what could have been an unnecessary roof replacement!
This is another example of why you should go with roofing professionals that actually know what they're doing and are knowledgeable about different roofing systems.
The types of roof damage we fix over and over again
Active leaks are very noticeable. Water dripping on your couch in the living room will capture your attention fairly quickly. Plus we catch the sneaky stuff – missing shingles that have not leaked yet, chimney flashing that is right on the edge, ventilation concerns that will cost you a fortune in heating costs and compromise your roof's structural integrity.
Storm damage is a big deal around here. The Ontario weather can be a real pain, and we don't take it lightly when it comes time to get your roof back up to fighting form with any needed repairs. Hail, wind, and ice dams have all been in the challenge of Mother Nature for us. Whether it's commercial or residential roofing, we handle storm damage with the same level of expertise.
Flat roof systems offer their own challenges. Ponding water, membrane failures typified by added drainage that could go from minor issue to major issue fast. Proper roof maintenance is essential for these systems.

How we really handle roof repair
Then we will show up, on time. - I know radical.
Our inspection process is detailed, the guessing game with roofs gets expensive fast. We will find what is wrong, what will be wrong, and what is ok to wait. You get a detailed estimate with no hidden fees or surprise repair costs.
The repair plan is based on your type of roof and budget. A 1970s bungalow with asphles vs a new build with a metal roof are two separate approaches. We align our approaches to the situation and ensure proper roof installation techniques are followed.
During the work itself we limit disruption. You shouldn't have to select everything that's in your life to allow us to work on your roof. Clean area to work, efficient procedures, and a walk-through so you can see what we did and why. Our experienced roofer will explain each step of the process.
Roofing materials we handle (almost every kind)
Asphalt shingle roofs are over 75% of roofs in Durham region. There's a lot to like about asphalt shingles– economical, dependable, straight-forward repairs if problems arise. When we repair roof damage on these systems, we ensure we use quality roofing material that matches your existing installation.
Metal roofing systems are used more frequently and we have the know-how to deal with everything from standing seam to corrugated panels. It's a completely different skill, but we put in the work to do it right. These systems require specialized roofing material and techniques.
Flat roof systems- EPDM, TPO and modified bitumen, need specialized knowledge. The tricks that work on a sloped roof do not work here and we've learned that from experience over the years. Regular maintenance services are crucial for these roofing systems.
We also have specialty materials, such as cedar and slate that we may use from time to time. It's not every day, but we do know how to use the good stuff as well. Our roofing contractor expertise extends to these premium materials.
Emergency roofing when roof leak strikes (Because they happen)
Storms do not operate on a calendar. That's why an emergency response system exists for emergencies and urgent roofing services.
Active leaks are dealt with as soon as possible. We come to site to assess and get temporary covering to minimize damage while we start planning on a permanent solution. Sometimes that looks like tarps and emergency patches– nothing aesthetically pleasing but it keeps the water from flooding your house until we can perform the job properly. Whether it's commercial or residential, we provide the same level of emergency services.

Repair costs that make sense (without playing games)
Repair pricing really depends on a number of things, including what roofing materials need repairs, some repairs require more complex access, how extensive the damage is, if the issue is only on the surface consideration of structural damage below is critical. We give honest estimates upfront because we know nobody wants to spend money on their house and find that it somehow winds up costing way more. When something we didn't expect comes up in the middle of repairs, we stop and talk about options rather than just continue with work.
Our warranties on our workmanship and on the repair itself provide you with some protection, and then the warranties on the materials are through the manufacturers. That's protection from both angles and ensures the integrity of your roofing system.
Now here's something most contractors won't admit, even to themselves - sometimes the right smart money isn't in the repair. For instance, if the roof has multiple problems and age isn't on your side, sometimes replacement roof options are a smarter financial option. If this is the case, we will have that honest conversation about roof replacement.
Questions people actually ask
Recent work in Durham Region
Last summer we had a challenging job when we sold an Oshawa home. The ice dam damage was enough that the decking would need to be replaced under the shingles. A simple shingle replacement turned into a full repair. Our homeowner was impressed with the way we handled the alternate paths and our roofing expertise.
For a metal roof repair in Whitby, we made a custom flashing for a skylight installation. The last install was cheap and caused water damage. We completely redid the flashing system, more than we planned, but the better choice for eliminating the storm issues for good. This required specialized roofing techniques and quality materials.
"These guys came on time, explained everything in detail, and we have no leaks. There were no surprises, no excuses and very good work." - Sarah M., Ajax
