The membrane, metal flashing, and roofing accessories are the most important items to check. The inspection helps identify the needs of your roof as well as your budgetary planning needs. In order to be able to\u00a0honor your warranty<\/strong>, the Association des Ma\u00eetres Couvreurs du Qu\u00e9bec (AMCQ) recommends that you have your roof inspected twice a year, in spring and fall.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Roof repairs are carried out before re-roofing; maintenance allows you to extend the life of your roof. Re-roofing is required when repairs can no longer protect the roof against\u00a0water<\/strong>\u00a0infiltration<\/strong>. It consists in partially or completely replacing components, up to the decking. As such, it\u2019s important that you contact LK Roofing before making any\u00a0re-roofing<\/strong>\u00a0decision. Only a professional can perform a comprehensive assessment of your building and come up with the best solution for your needs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Yes, we have several service units available to serve you 24\/7.

There is no predetermined price for \u201cX\u201d square feet of roof. Roof size, access to the roof\u2014is a crane required, for instance\u2014the building\u2019s needs, the type of system, quantity of accessories on the roof, action required\u2014new roof or\u00a0re-roofing<\/strong>, full or partial re-roofing\u2014are all factors that need to be taken into consideration. As you can see, it\u2019s impossible to set a predetermined price. However, we must take the time to meet with you, answer your questions, and assess your specific needs. Therefore, it is impossible to set a predetermined price without first determining the waterproofing system. As such, we are unfortunately unable to tell you \u201chow much does a roof cost?\u201d However, it is very likely that there will be a price to pay if you haven\u2019t established a\u00a0preventive maintenance<\/strong>\u00a0plan over time after the first year of your membrane because your roof is likely to have been neglected.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Municipal by-laws are increasingly governing the roof color used when\u00a0replacing a roof\u00a0<\/strong>or installing a new one. By-laws require that building owners use a white membrane due to its ability to reduce heat islands\u2014i.e. they reduce ambient temperature in urban areas. As such, households benefit from reduced energy costs during the summer. It should be noted that a white finish can be applied to any membrane. Let an expert from LK Roofing weigh the pros and cons of each membrane, and tell you which one is best suited for your building and your budget.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Yes, without a doubt. The system\u2019s operation is simply inverted, which means that the decking is waterproofed, and the membrane insulated. This technique aims to protect the waterproofing membrane against exposure to ultraviolet rays and climate change. There are many benefits to an inverted roof, including saving a considerable amount of money on installation and materials. However, inverted roofs also come with cons, such as more strenuous repairs owing to the fact that we need to remove everything to have access to the membrane, because the latter is found below every other material protecting the system. Before making any decisions, consult an expert from LK Roofing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> It is recommended to remove snow from the roof when there are more than 60 centimetres (23 inches) of hard snow on your roof, or to de-ice the roof when there are more than 17 centimetres (6 inches) of ice. Also, proper knowledge and the appropriate techniques are required to perform these tasks to avoid damaging the membrane. As such, it\u2019s important to keep 7 to 8 centimetres of ice (3 to 4 inches) on the roof, so the thin layer can protect the system\u2019s membrane. A roof inspection\u2014before clearing the snow\u2014will be all the more a wise decision as snow density plays a major role in the technique used. A heavy accumulation of ice on the roof may pose a risk of collapse and threaten the people circulating near the building.
