A homeowner contacted The Roof Whisperer after their general contractor realized the project was too complex to handle. The job required expertise across multiple trades—carpentry, trim work, framing, roofing, flashing, and brickwork. Hiring several contractors would have been costly and complicated. That’s when our team stepped in and took over the project.

Why The Roof Whisperer?

We can confidently say that very few roofing companies in Toronto—or Ontario—have the expertise to complete a project like this. Most focus only on sales, not on providing real solutions. Our mission is different: we prioritize quality workmanship and best roofing practices first, then cost follows. If you want a worry-free, top-quality result, you’ve come to the right place.

Scope of Work

• Framing – We reframed the entire porch roof since much of the wood had rotted from years of neglect.

• Bay Window – Our carpenter Tom reconfigured the bay window from four panels to three, added custom pine fascia boards, and installed exterior MDF panels.

• Roof Installation – After removing the old roof, we applied proper underlayment for a watertight system before installing CertainTeed Symphony composite slate tiles.

• Trim Boards – Chris, our skilled carpenter, installed tongue-and-groove cedar boards on the porch ceiling and knot-free pine fascia where needed.

• Brick Work – Altin, our mason, tuckpointed the crumbling parapet wall and replaced damaged bricks, restoring the original look without resorting to cheap metal capping.

• Siding – We custom-cut and painted Fraser wood siding boards, enhancing the home’s natural beauty with board-and-batten style.

• Painting – Paulo’s Painting completed the project by clear-coating the cedar ceiling and painting fascias and soffits in white.

End Result

The outcome: a stunning porch and exterior transformation, completed with care and craftsmanship. The homeowner was thrilled with the results, and we were proud to deliver solutions that elevated the property’s character.
