A Guide To Understanding Your Quote

Here are some terms you may find on your quote. 

Landmark 50yr Life Time 

lifetime shingle
Laminate shingle (2 layers glued together). More resistent to animal damage, high winds (rated up to 130mph gusts) and driving rains than the traditional shingle (which is no longer available). Shown here in Driftwood (taken from the CertainTeed website). 

ShingleMate or Ice & Water Underlayment

ice & water
Ice & Water is a membrane and has a plastic backing that is removed prior to installation. It adheres to the roof deck when it heats up (from the sun).The roll is 3' in height and is applied on the deck at the lowest point (just above the eaves troughs).  It is also applied to valleys.

Neoprene Collar

roof flashing
Just a fancy word for plumbing mat. Sometimes called flashing.  It goes around the plumbing stack. The top and sides of the base are covered with shingles so that water runs down the shingle rather than underneath the base of the collar. These never get reused during roof replacement.   

Roof Vents

roof vent
Static roof vents are sufficient and complements any roof. One required for every 350 sq.ft. We prefer them over vents with external moving parts. GAF-Elk RT 65's. Scratch, crush and dent resistent. High impact resin construction; looks good for many years. 


OPTIONS: (upgrades)

Flashing

aluminum flashing
Flashing covers the gap between roof and brick (or siding). We use heavy gage, custom bent prepainted aluminum.  Creates a very clean, finished look. Paint will not chip. 

13% HST

All prices listed do not include taxes. We all hate them.

Warranties

Our workmanship warranty covers leaks or other workmanship-related issues. We will not take responsibility for animal damage or blow-offs due to high speed winds or other acts of nature.  The manufacturer covers shingle blow-offs up to 60mph for 25yr shingles and 130mph for lifetime shingles.  Click here to read more about the manufacturer's warranties.   

100% Due Upon Completion

We do not ask for a deposit. Pay when the job is done.

Payment Methods

Visa, Mastercard, Interac, Financing
Cash, certified cheques and money orders are also accepted forms of payment.
