The homeowners in Kitchener urgently needed a roof replacement for their rear porch. When our team inspected the area, we found that the plywood was completely rotten, and the shingles were badly worn. Leaving the roof in this state would have led to serious safety concerns and further water damage.

With safety as our top priority, we decided to replace all the damaged plywood. Instead of using standard sheets, we upgraded to stronger 5/8-inch plywood for better durability. This upgrade ensures that the porch roof can handle heavy loads and resist future wear.

To protect the new deck from rain and snow, we applied a synthetic roofing membrane. This waterproof barrier provides long-lasting defence against leaks, giving the porch roof an extra layer of security.

The final step was the installation of CertainTeed Landmark shingles, one of the most trusted products in the industry. These shingles not only look great but are also built to last, even in Canada’s harsh weather. We carefully installed new flashing against the wall to block water entry at one of the roof’s most vulnerable points.

By completing this full replacement, we gave the homeowners more than just a new roof. They now have peace of mind knowing their porch is safe, leak-free, and visually appealing for years to come.

At The Roof Whisperer, we believe in doing the job right the first time. Every project is about protecting homes and giving our customers the confidence that their investment will last.
