Kawartha Lakes conditions that change how shingle replacement & roof replacement is done
Most Kawartha Lakes homeowners book shingle replacement & roof replacement for one reason and discover a second problem on the same visit.
Many Kawartha Lakes properties were re-roofed at least once without the flashing being re-detailed, leaving a cosmetic seal doing structural work.
Snow load and ice damming stress the roof-to-wall junction each winter; by spring the sealant that was doing the work has usually torn.
Across Bethany, Pontypool, Coboconk, Little Britain and Woodville, the housing stock changes street by street, and the correct method changes with it. A century home with a soft-brick stack does not get the same treatment as a 2010 build with a factory-built vent — using one method on both is how systems get damaged.
the practical takeaway is that a shingle replacement & roof replacement visit should start with an assessment, not a tool. Any crew that begins work before telling you what they found is guessing on your behalf.
