Roof Repair Tips for Montreal Winters?
Kevin MacDonald · · 2 replies
Bonjour Montreal! With that first chill in the air, I'm starting to think about roof repairs before winter hits. I've heard horror stories about leaking roofs during snowstorms, and I want to avoid that at all costs. What are some best practices for ensuring my roof is ready to take on the Montreal winter? Any recommendations for local contractors or products I should be considering? What’s your experience been like with winter-proofing?

Hey Montreal, prepping your roof for winter is crucial, especially with the snowstorms you get. First, make sure to clear off any leaves and debris from your gutters to prevent ice damming. Inspect your shingles for any missing or curled ones and replace them to ensure a tight seal. You might want to apply a waterproof sealant on any exposed areas or areas showing wear. Also, checking your flashing and sealing any gaps around vents or chimneys can save you from leaks later on. Good luck!

Hey Montreal crew! I totally feel you on the roof repair anxiety before winter hits. Last year, I thought I was being super smart by just adding some extra insulation, but mid-snowstorm, we had a leak that turned my living room into a mini waterfall! 🤦♂️ Definitely learned that a proper inspection is key. If anyone’s tackled roof sealing or used any cool waterproofing products, I’d love to hear about them! Also, let’s share those winterizing tips — I’m all in for cozying up my home while keeping those leaks away!
