The Process of Roofing Shingles Installation
A successful roofing shingles installation involves several crucial steps, each executed with precision by our team:
- Inspection and Preparation: Before any roofing shingles installation begins, we conduct a thorough inspection of your existing roof and prepare the area, ensuring a clean and safe worksite.
- Removal of Old Shingles: The old shingles and underlayment are carefully removed, clearing the way for a fresh start.
- Underlayment and Flashing: A new underlayment is installed, providing an extra layer of protection. Flashing around chimneys, vents, and other penetrations is meticulously installed to prevent water intrusion – a critical step in effective roofing shingles installation.
- Shingles Installation: This is where the magic happens. Our skilled roofers precisely lay down your new roofing shingles, ensuring proper alignment and fastening according to manufacturer specifications and best practices.
- Final Touches and Cleanup: Once the roofing shingles installation is complete, we install ridge caps and ensure a thorough cleanup, leaving your property spotless.

Essential Government Resources for Your Project
As a responsible homeowner, it’s important to be aware of the laws and programs that govern renovations and can save you money. Here are three helpful government links related to your roofing project:
- Building Permits in Ontario: Check with your local municipality (serving Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Welland, etc.) regarding the need for a building permit for your specific roofing shingles installation. In Ontario, while simple shingle-for-shingle replacements generally do not require a permit, changes to the roof structure or the installation of features like new skylights often do. Government of Ontario: Building Permits Information
- Canada Greener Homes Initiative (Retrofit Grants/Loans): Although the Canada Greener Homes Grant is closed to new applicants, the initiative offers other programs, like the Canada Greener Homes Loan. If your roofing shingles installation is part of a larger energy efficiency retrofit (e.g., adding insulation or installing solar ventilation), you may be eligible for financial assistance to save energy. Natural Resources Canada: Canada Greener Homes Initiative
- Consumer Protection for Home Renovations (Ontario): Before signing a contract for your roofing shingles installation or other services like eavestrough replacement, familiarize yourself with your rights under the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) in Ontario. This includes rules regarding written contracts, estimates, and your cancellation rights. Ontario.ca: Your Rights When Starting Home Renovations
