Flat and Sloped Roof Replacement with Skylight and Insulation Upgrade

The customer contacted The Roof Whisperer because both their flat and sloped roofs needed replacement. The flat roof included an old skylight, while the sloped roof featured a sun tunnel. In addition, the homeowner raised concerns about heat loss during the winter and excessive heat in the summer, especially in the flat roof area.

Our Comprehensive Roof Replacement Process

Our team began with a full inspection to design the right solution. First, we removed the old shingles on the sloped roof and installed 3/8-inch plywood over the existing roof boards. This step created a solid base for the new shingles. On the flat roof, we went further by removing all old roofing layers to create a clean surface. This allowed us to install a durable SBS two-ply membrane, which offers long-term waterproof protection.

Skylight Replacement and Energy Efficiency Upgrades

The existing skylight on the flat roof showed signs of aging, so we replaced it with a new, high-quality model. This upgrade not only improved natural lighting but also boosted insulation. To enhance energy efficiency, we also added blown-in insulation in both the flat roof section and the small attic above the front of the house. As a result, the home will now stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

Final Touches with Premium Materials

To finish the project, we installed Certainteed Landmark shingles on the sloped roof. Known for their durability and curb appeal, these shingles provide long-lasting protection while improving the home’s appearance. The combination of new shingles, flat roof membrane, skylight replacement, and added insulation created a complete roofing solution.

End Result

The homeowner now enjoys a leak-free, energy-efficient roof. Snow remains on the roof during winter, a clear sign of proper insulation, unlike neighbouring roofs where heat escapes. Most importantly, the customer has a brighter home, a more comfortable indoor climate, and peace of mind knowing The Roof Whisperer delivered a solution built to last.
