RBQ-Licensed Roofers in Saint-Sauveur and the Laurentians
Re-roofing in Saint-Sauveur
Residential and commercial roof repairs—including asphalt shingles, elastomeric membranes, and metal roofing—throughout Saint-Sauveur and on the North Shore.
Cupped shingles, a water stain on the ceiling, a damp attic every spring: when these signs reappear, repairs are no longer enough—it’s time to replace the roof. In Saint-Sauveur, homes are subjected to heavy snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and ice dams, and a roof that’s past its prime will eventually give way to water damage. Our team of RBQ-licensed roofers handles the complete replacement of your roof, from the initial assessment to attic ventilation. You’ll receive a written, no-obligation estimate in less than 24 hours.

When should you replace your roof instead of repairing it?
A repair fixes a localized problem: a displaced flashing, a few shingles torn off by the wind, or an isolated water leak. A complete replacement, on the other hand, is necessary when the roof is no longer functioning properly across its entire surface. A roof inspection helps determine which option is best, and that’s always where we start our work.
Signs that it’s time to completely replace a roof:
- Your roof is approaching or has exceeded the service life specified in your shingle manufacturer’s warranty.
- Asphalt shingles lift up, crack, and curl, and their granules accumulate in the gutters.
- A water leak is causing brown stains on the ceiling or on the roof structure, despite repairs that have already been made.
- The roof structure is sagging, bulging, or warping between the trusses.
- Mold or frost appears in the attic, which is a sign of inadequate ventilation or insulation.
- Repairs are needed every year, and each time they affect a different area.
When two or more of these signs occur at the same time, the total cost of repairs quickly exceeds the cost of a new roof, and the building remains vulnerable between each repair. Our roofers will tell you straight: if your roof can still be repaired, we’ll repair it.

What the Laurentian climate demands of a roof
A roof in Saint-Sauveur doesn’t function the same way as a roof in Montreal. Roofs here age faster. Snow accumulates more heavily and stays on the roof longer, placing a continuous load on the structure for months. Freeze-thaw cycles then cause the materials to expand and contract, which opens up the joints, lifts the shingles, and wears down the flashings.
Next comes the ice dam. Heat escaping from the house melts the snow in the center of the roof; the water refreezes at the edges, which are colder, and forms a dam that forces water back under the roofing. This is the leading cause of water infiltration in winter in the Laurentians. The Quebec Building Code requires a protective covering for the roof overhang that extends at least 900 mm from the edge and at least 300 mm inside the inner face of the exterior wall (Section 9.26.5.1.).

The stages of the project, from assessment to final installation
Inspection and Diagnosis
The roofer climbs onto the roof, assesses the condition of the roofing, flashings, valleys, and vents, and then inspects the attic from the inside. He checks the ventilation, insulation, vapor barrier, and the condition of the roof deck. This assessment determines the scope of the work and the details of our estimate.
Construction Site Organization and Safety
Before the first stroke of the shovel, the crew protects the ground, the walls, and the interior finishes. A reputable company makes no compromises when it comes to the safety of its roofers or the building’s occupants.
Removal and Repair of the Substrate
The old roofing is removed down to the underlayment. Sections that have rotted due to past water infiltration are replaced, and then an underlayment membrane and roof overhang protection are installed before the roofing material is laid.
Installing the siding and flashings
The roof pitch determines the choice of materials and the installation method. The valley, chimney, and wall flashings are replaced at the same time: that’s where most leaks originate.
Attic Ventilation
A new roof that isn’t properly ventilated will deteriorate from the underside. Our roofers calculate this area for each job rather than simply installing the same number of vents as before.
What type of roofing should you choose for your roof?
The choice of materials depends on the roof pitch, the type of building, and your project. Four categories cover virtually all the roofs in Saint-Sauveur.
- Asphalt shingles: the standard choice for standard-pitch roofs, offering good value for the price and a wide selection of colors and product lines. The expected lifespan depends on the product line and the manufacturer’s warranty.
- Elastomeric membrane: two welded layers of modified bitumen—the solution for low-slope and flat roofs. Highly resistant to Quebec’s freeze-thaw cycles.
- Metal roofing: durable and effective against snow, with a minimum slope of 1:4 as required by the Code, unless the manufacturer provides written certification based on test results.
- Flat roof: limited to commercial buildings and certain contemporary structures; on a flat roof, everything depends on drainage, overflow drains, and the quality of the membrane.
We also install slate and green roofs, and we maintain roofs made from all of these materials. These less common types of roofs require roofers who are familiar with them, and they are rare among the roofs in Saint-Sauveur. If you’re unsure, an inspection is more informative than a catalog.
Residential and Commercial: Two Different Realities
On a house in Saint-Sauveur, repairs most often involve sloped roofs covered with asphalt shingles, with an attic that needs ventilation and attic insulation that needs to be replaced. The project takes a few days, and the main concerns are protecting the property and ensuring the safety of the occupants.
On commercial or institutional buildings, the focus is primarily on flat roofs made of elastomeric membranes, complete with their drains, overflows, and mechanical equipment that must be worked around. Work often must be carried out without interrupting operations, section by section, and sheet metal work plays a much larger role. For both commercial and residential roofing projects, we follow the same process: inspection, written work plan, detailed written estimate, and then execution.

The Interview
Maintenance That Extends the Life of New Roofs
A new, properly installed roof still requires maintenance. Two visual inspections per year—in the spring and fall—are enough to catch problems early that could become costly later on. Cleaning the gutters prevents water from flowing back under the asphalt shingles. Roof snow removal, performed by properly equipped roofers, prevents snow from accumulating on the structure and limits the formation of ice dams. Checking chimney flashings and ventilation vents helps prevent the most common types of water infiltration.
The service life specified by a manufacturer assumes proper installation and regular maintenance. A well-maintained roof will last as long as expected; a roof left to its own devices will almost always fail, and the manufacturer’s warranty may then be denied.
Factors That Affect the Cost of Construction Work
No reputable roofer will give a price over the phone. The cost depends on the roof area and the number of slopes, the roof pitch and access to the roof, the condition of the underlying structure once the old roofing is removed, the number of flashings, valleys, and chimneys, the chosen roofing material, the sheet metal work required, and the time of year the work is performed. A quote prepared after an on-site visit is the only way to get an accurate estimate for your home or commercial building.
