Vaughan's flat roofs are mostly on garages, front porticos, rear additions and the industrial units around Concord and Woodbridge — and they get less attention than the main roof until they leak.(416) 846-3797Or send the form and we'll call you back.

The flat roof on a Vaughan house is usually the one over the attached garage or the porch roof at the front door — small areas that the original builder covered with a basic rolled membrane that was never meant to last as long as the shingles above it. In Woodbridge and Thornhill, rear additions from the 80s and 90s add another flat section, often tied badly into the main roof. Then there's the commercial side: the industrial and retail units along Highway 7 and around Concord sit under large low-slope roofs where a blocked drain or a failed seam shows up as a ceiling stain in the middle of a showroom.
On a small residential flat roof we look at the whole thing, not just the wet spot — where it drains, where it meets the wall, how the flashing was done. A sound membrane with one failed seam gets a proper bonded repair. A membrane that has cracked, blistered or been patched over gets replaced: old layers off, deck checked, tapered insulation added where the roof has been ponding, new membrane down with the fall toward the drain or scupper. On commercial units we coordinate around your hours so the work doesn't stop your business.
Repair when the leak is at a single flashing or seam on an otherwise intact surface. Replace when water ponds for days after rain, when the surface has alligatored or gone brittle, or when the roof over the garage is the same age as the house and has never been touched.
Yes — industrial and retail units in Concord, Woodbridge and along Highway 7 are part of our flat roof work. We'll look at the roof, the drains and the rooftop unit curbs, and quote the repair or replacement in writing.
Because they're two different roofs. The garage roof is flat or nearly flat, was built with a cheaper membrane, and holds water where the shingled roof sheds it. It's normal for it to fail first.
Yes. The junction where a flat section meets a sloped one is the most common leak point on additions. Doing that transition properly — with the right flashing and membrane overlap — is a standard part of the job.
