Project Overview
We recently completed a metal roof upgrade for a minimalist European-style home in Brampton, creating a durable solution that perfectly matched the home’s modern aesthetic. The homeowners, eager to replace their aging shingles, wanted a roof that preserved the architectural charm of their house while delivering a timeless and stylish upgrade
Project Challenges
The main challenge was addressing a damaged chimney with broken bricks, which required repair before the roof installation. We coordinated with a contractor to fix it, ensuring a stable base for the new roof. Additionally, the home’s unique architectural lines required custom wall flashings to preserve its minimalist design. Lastly, we installed a protective mesh over the ridge vents to deter raccoons and ensure proper ventilation
Installation Process
Stage 1: Wood Strapping and Roof Preparation
We began by installing vertical wood strapping over the existing shingles, anchoring it securely to the rafters. Horizontal wood straps were then added to create a stable and ventilated base for the metal panels. This step ensured a solid foundation for the new roof while improving ventilation and preventing moisture buildup
Stage 2: Chimney Repairs and Flashing Installation
The damaged chimney was repaired by a trusted contractor to provide a secure starting point for the roof installation. Once completed, we installed starter flashings around the roof perimeter, focusing on areas around the chimney and valleys, ensuring proper water management and a watertight seal
Stage 3: Metal Panel Installation
Mocha brown bone-style metal tiles were installed, starting at the bottom and working upwards, with each panel carefully overlapped for a tight, watertight seal. New custom flashings were added around the chimney to ensure full waterproofing. Ridge caps were installed to protect roof edges and add a polished finish
Stage 4: Ventilation and Final Touches
To secure the ventilation system, we added a protective ridge mesh to the vent outlets, preventing raccoons and other animals from accessing the roof while ensuring proper airflow. Finally, we installed the gables and custom wall flashings, crafted to maintain the home’s architectural design and provide a polished, modern finish. These steps completed the project with a focus on both functionality and style
Results
The project provided the homeowner with a durable, low-maintenance metal roof that perfectly complements their minimalist European-style home. The mocha brown tiles enhanced the home’s curb appeal while preserving its architectural lines with custom wall flashings. The added protective measures, including ridge vent mesh, ensure long-term functionality and security, giving the homeowner peace of mind and a timeless upgrade
