Why Good Roofing Is Essential In Lévis

Your roof is your home's number-one protection. It withstands everything: winter snow, torrential spring rains, the scorching July sun and fierce autumn winds.

A bad roof isn't just leaks - it's water getting into the attic, rotting the plywood, creating mold, and eventually leaking into your walls and ceilings.

In Lévis, with our heavy snow winters and freeze-thaw cycles, a poorly installed or maintained roof will fail in 10-15 years instead of 25-30.

We see this all too often in homes in Saint-Étienne, Lauzon or Charny: roofs with cheap asphalt shingles that warp after 12 years, shingles blown off after every storm, ice dams that cause infiltration, or poorly installed flashings that leak around chimneys and vents.

We install roofs that stand up to our winters. Solid, waterproof and guaranteed to last.

Types Of Roofing We Install

Asphalt shingles

It's the most popular choice in Lévis - economical, durable and available in a ton of colors. We install dimensional shingles that last 25-30 years and withstand winds of up to 130 km/hr.

Brands we use: GAF, IKO, CertainTeed, BP - all with 25-30 year warranties.

Styles available: 3-tab (entry-level), architectural (standard), designer (slate or cedar look).

Typical price: 5,000 $ to 8,000 $ (1,200 ft² house), 8,000 $ to 13,000 $ (2,000 ft² house).

Metal roofing

Sheet metal is the ultimate in durability: 40-50 years of life, zero maintenance, and super weather-resistant. Snow slides over it, so no ice dams.

We install galvanized steel sheet with a baked-on paint finish (black, grey, red, green, brown).

On the other hand, it's more expensive to install.

Typical price: 12,000 $ to 18,000 $ (1200 ft² house), 18,000 $ to 28,000 $ (2000 ft² house).

Cedar shingle roof

Cedar shingles are classic and give a lot of character, especially in Old Levis or on heritage homes. On the other hand, it requires maintenance and isn't approved everywhere because of the risk of fire.

It is mainly installed for heritage restorations.

Typical price: 15,000 $ to 25,000 $ (1200 ft² house).

What we do when we redo your roof

Complete inspection of existing roof

We climb on your roof to inspect the condition of the shingles, flashings, vents and plywood underneath. We check for signs of water infiltration, rotted plywood, or inadequate ventilation.

We take pictures and show you exactly what needs to be done.

Removal of old roof

We remove the old shingles down to the plywood. We inspect the plywood (OSB or plywood) and replace any rotted or damaged sections.

We put all the debris in containers and keep your yard clean.

Plywood and structural repairs

If roof trusses or plywood are damaged, we repair them before installing the new roof. There's no question of installing new shingles on a rotten structure.

Protective membrane installation

We install a self-adhesive membrane (ice and water shield) on the first 3-4 feet of the bottom of the roof to protect against ice dams - this is crucial in Lévis.

The rest of the roof is then covered with felt paper or a synthetic membrane for complete protection.

Installing shingles or sheet metal

For asphalt shingles, start at the bottom and work your way up, row by row. Each shingle is nailed with 4-6 nails, depending on roof pitch and wind exposure.

For sheet metal, we install 16-foot panels with neoprene-head screws that seal perfectly.

Flashings around chimneys, vents and dormers

Les solins (flashings), c’est là où la plupart des fuites arrivent. On installe des solins en aluminium ou en acier galvanisé autour de toutes les pénétrations : cheminées, évents de plomberie, évents de toit, lucarnes.

Everything is sealed with elastomeric caulking that remains flexible for 20 years.

Gutters and downspouts

If your eavestroughs are old or damaged, we can replace them at the same time. We install seamless aluminum eavestroughs that last 25-30 years without leaking.

Attic ventilation

Good ventilation is essential to avoid condensation, mold and ice dams. We install ridge vents, soffit vents and roof vents to create adequate air circulation.

Problems Encountered in Lévis

Ice dams

This is the number one problem in winter in Lévis. Meltwater freezes at the edge of the roof, creating a dam, and the water recedes under the shingles and flows into the attic.

The solution is a protective membrane on the bottom of the roof, good ventilation in the attic, and enough insulation in the attic (R-50 minimum).

Shingles blown off after storms

If your shingles blow away with every gust of wind, they're either too old, poorly installed or of poor quality.

We use architectural shingles with sufficient nails and make sure they comply with wind-resistance standards.

Leaks around chimneys and vents

Poorly installed or corroded flashings are the main cause of leaks. We often see this in old houses in Saint-Romuald or Vieux-Lévis.

We remove the old flashings, install new ones made of aluminum or galvanized steel, and seal them properly.

Rotten plywood discovered during removal

When we remove old shingles, we often discover rotten plywood, especially around chimneys and vents, or in valleys where water collects.

All damaged plywood is replaced before the new roof is installed.

Moss and algae on shingles

North-facing or shaded roofs accumulate moss and black algae. This traps moisture and shortens the life of the shingles.

We clean the roof before installing new shingles, and recommend shingles with algae-resistant granules.

Inadequate ventilation causes condensation

A poorly ventilated attic creates condensation in winter, mold on the plywood, and melts snow on the roof (causing ice dams).

Always make sure there are enough soffit vents and ridge vents for continuous air circulation.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Roofing

How long does an asphalt shingle roof in Lévis last?

With well-installed quality shingles, 25-30 years. Cheap shingles only last 15-20 years. Lévis has a tough climate, so you have to invest in good materials.

What causes ice dams?

A lack of insulation in the attic (less than R-50), poor attic ventilation, or the absence of a protective membrane on the bottom of the roof.

Can I install new shingles over the old ones?

Technically, yes, but we don't recommend it. It hides plywood problems, adds weight to the structure, and shortens the life of new shingles.

How long does it take to re-roof?

Between 1 and 3 days, depending on size. A standard bungalow takes 1-2 days. A large multi-storey house takes 2-3 days.

Is sheet metal really better than shingles?

Sheet metal lasts longer (40-50 years vs. 25-30 years), requires zero maintenance, and snow slides right off it. On the other hand, it's more expensive to install. If your budget allows it, it's an excellent investment.

What's included in your warranty?
