Twin Peaks Roofing and Aluminum Inc.

Thanks Scott, your flat roof at the front porch was leaking because the last roofers didn't run the products up high enough up the sloped portion. During the ice build up/ melting process of the winter, water was forced to back up into the porch attic due to blockage from the the ice damn. We stripped to the old roof off, and re decked the flat roof to ensure a positive slope/sufficient surface for the new base layer of the flat roof to adhere to. It was also very important to install the animal proof vents and replace your existing skylight. Thanks for your business, you have been great customer !
Enjoy your new house

Thanks Alp! Your review means a lot to us. During our initial meeting and consultation, you stated that you preferred more of a higher grade shingle brand and you wished to optimize your attic's ventilation ability. You received this with the CertainTeed Landmark shingle and the Maximum ventilation system. We replaced the plywood where the other "static" vents once were and installed 2 '301' Maximum ventilators at the peak of your roof according to the manufacturers specifications. This allows your roof to breath during heavy snow falls and will create a much needed "chimney effect" during the hottest days of the year, pulling cooler air through the fully perforated soffits that we installed and will kick off an amazing circulation process. Also it was imperative for us to install proper bathroom fan vents, your previous vents had no flap therefor the hottest air in your home in the winter was freely exiting your home through your fans, causing your furnace to work more than needed.

Thanks again for your business and your time in writing this review! I think you made the right choices in the colour of your roof and aluminum!

Hi Ross, Thanks for the review. It is always best to call an experienced trades person to manage your particular project. It's not as easy as it looks and the overlooked details can lead to big problems down the road. I am glad we were able to address your roofing issues in the most economical fashion, and none the less leaving your home with protection from the elements for decades to come.

Hi John,

Thanks for the review,Yes we installed the Owens Corning 'Tru defifination- Duration' shingle on your home. This product has an exclusively patented nailing strip call the 'sure nail' nailing strip. The intention behind this feature is to prevent 'Blow troughs', while using the roofing air nialer (this may typically happen more often in the extreme heat/colder temperatures during the roofing season). The sure-nail strip also provides a superior platform for the tar strip to adhere too. Although this product has only been available in Canada for limited number of years so far, i am confident this roof will last up to three decades for you.
Note- your roof and soffit ventilation is up to par, but wanted to remind you to consult a local insulation company as your insulation may have to be topped up to at least R50 (and baffled) as your home should be nearing 15 years old, and was built under the previous code. I have noticed a number of homes in you neighborhood with some attic condensation issues in the recent years.

Thanks again for your time and business !

Hi Carol, Happy holidays and thanks for your review. It was a pleasure working for you. Don't hesitate to contact us regarding the quote for your eaves troughs this spring, I contacted your sister in east Mississauga aswell- I can offer you both a free inspection and quote.

Hello Ian, your father was a real gentleman, and thanks for taking your time writing this review. Most home owners dont understand the importance of having optimal ventilation throughout your attic and roof and the importance of having sufficient insulation in your attic. A roof leak could very well spring up prematurely due to buckling/warped plywood caused by long term condensation build up in your attic in the winter, and overheating in the summer.
Dont hesitate to call us in the spring as your father stated he would like to get more work complete, and i can go in further detail in person.

Hi Sherene ! thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately you guys were one the unlucky ones that got affected by the windstorm in early May. but luckily we were able to help you out and give you a brand new roof before the winter. Your roof may have lasted 5-10 years longer than it did, but the last roofer did what we call an "over lay", which means they installed shingles on top of shingles. Other than the fact that they used a particular brand of shingles that has been known to have tar strip deficiencies, they also used 1-1/4 inch nails which will failed to go through the double laminate shingle, the old 3 tab shingles and then into the plywood in order for it to properly be fastened to the deck. Its unfortunate that you guys bought a home that had this pre existing issue waiting to happen. 90% of the time a home inspector will not got upon the roof nor would they have the knowledge to locate deficiencies and/or foresee future expenses relating to a lack luster installation before you take possession of your home.

The good news is you now have the color of choice which matches your red brick home and have a roof that will last the test of time with many upgrades in comparison the the previous one. We replaced all your wall/counter flashing with new steel steps and wrapped ice and water shield up the walls, this is important! with these new weather conditions that have been occurring through the past handful of years (snow then rain back to back) water has more of a tenancy to back up the roof slope at times, this will be the best defense.You also have steel valleys, complete synthetic paper and ice and water shield on the complete roof deck, also proper bathroom vents and animal proof attic vents. Not to mention 11000 lbs of garbage off you home!

Thanks for you business, and your patients after signing up, its been a busy year for us.

Thanks for your help in referring us to your friends and neighbors in north west glen abbey, it was a pleasure dealing with you. Great idea in choosing the Landmark PRO from Certainteed, its gives you a stronger warranty, and a more distinct look, when comparing to the other roof done on your street.

Max

Thanks Gene, Our intention is to give our customers as much value as possible. the wind storm in May had caused us an alarming amount to work, so the least we could do is do a temporary repair so no water damage could occur while you choose a roofer to hire. I'm glad we were able to serve you.

Thanks Kathleen. We did a complete overhaul of you roof exterior. It was very important that we replaced your skylite as the wood as we discovered rotten plywood in the surrounding roof deck, it's the only way for us to warrant it against leaks etc. You recived a premium product in a certainties shingles, and we fully gutted all the flashing, chimney flashing etc. and wrapped the walls with ice and water shield to protect your home long term from ice build up/ freezing/ thawing cycles that have become more common in recent years. Your home is completely water tight from the exterior. One thing you do need is new eavestroughs, as you have 40 year old 4" troughs with small as down pipes. Upgrading to the 5 " troughs with alu-rex gutted guards along with the large 3x3 " down pipes water will travel more efficiently and keep it free of debris. We would also need to re arrange your downpipes as they are currently distributing all the water from the main house to one location in your back yard - this is the probable cause of your foundation issues !

hope to talk soon as I believe this in an imperative job that you need complete going forward.

thanks again for the business
