_____________________

The client for this job was a very satisfied customer!

This home was in dire need of a new roof. There were damages to the roof and missing shingles.

Strapping was installed over the asphalt shingles in order to accommodate the new material, all eaves drip stepped back in order to install a new eavestrough, and gable rake trim was installed to complete edging onto the existing fascia and supply and installation of vented ridge cap for attic and panel ventilation.

It is important to note: The material used for this roof is stone coated, which greatly reduces the chance of snow sliding off of the roof , therefore, no snow stop was installed.

Throughout the course of this project, the knowledgeable staff who performed the work on this home took down an old brick chimney that was no longer in working order, the chimney had been disintegrating for some time and the homeowners chose to remove the problem area, down to ceiling level.

This enabled the client to take advantage of insulation problems throughout the attic that were causing heat loss.

Trussler Metal Roofing has multiple resources for services directly/ indirectly related to Metal Roofing Systems and their proper installation and maintenance making this an ideal time for many to arrange repairs for underlying issues within their attic.

Trussler Metal Roofing provided supply and installation services for this project.
The homeowners decided to expand their living space by adding an addition and remodeling their home.
This job was a great accomplishment for Trussler Metal Roofing, it was unique because, half of the roofing system was installed over a new build, and the other half was re-roofed over previously installed shingles, allowing the entire roof to match seamlessly.  

A Metal Roof suits this house in particular because of its location in the country.
With a peak approximately 50 ft. high, the roof is continuously exposed to all of the natural elements that Northern Ontario has to offer, including but not limited to high winds.

-It is important to note that our roofing systems are built to withstand these elements.

This project in particular took 2 weeks to complete.

Supply and installation services were provided to this customer.

Trussler Metal could not pass up this unique opportunity to accept a challenging and rewarding project! The layout of this roof is octagon-shaped which made the task of ensuring all components were just as they should be prior to, and during the installation process tedious, but undeniably worth it!

The homeowners for this job requested a solution where they would never have to worry about a roof replacement again and with a 50-year manufacturer’s warranty and a 10-year workmanship warranty, they can rest assured.

This project in particular took 1 week to complete.

STAR LAKE

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Material: Steel Tile Katola panels

Color Choice: Dark Brown

Square Footage: 3500 Square feet.

Steel Tile Katola panels. Steel Tile panels are made right here in Ontario. The Katola panel system provides all the style and durability of our full-length panel. 

This was a new build. We put a synthetic underlay on the roof deck (creates a barrier for condensation that can form on the bottom of metal roofing). The panel has a unique system that does not require strapping and is installed directly on the plywood roof deck. Panels are designed for a " Do it Yourself" kind of person.  Even though they are designed to be a do-it-yourself panel( because they come in small pieces) we would like to add that they are not as easy to work with as made out to be. You need to be very precise with these tiles in the layout of the roof ( unlike asphalt shingles the profiles have to come together precisely to give you the proper tile look). 

FYI: Cutting these panels should always be done with snips/electric sheers  NEVER use a saw of grinder.  The Inner core of all metal roofing panels is steel which can rust when using a saw or grinder. 

Project Duration: 6 days

MILL HOUSE

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Residential Home
Iroquois Falls, ON

Material : Optimum rib charcoal
Color Choice: BRIGHT RED
Sq. Footage: 3900

This 3900 square foot home has Optimum Rib Charcoal metal from Agway. This was a great opportunity to put a roof on one of the oldest homes in Iroquois Falls. The Optimum Rib is the most economical panel. When done with precision (all specific trim flashing and details) this standard panel can be a real eye-catcher. 

The owner wanted to replace the roof. Shingles were in decent condition but the owner did not want to take a chance and wait until they were finished to avoid any problems. 

Project duration: 8 days 

HEART

Timmins, ON

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Material : Straight rib 29 gauge
Color Choice: Black
Sq. Footage: 1500

This 1500 Square foot home has " black " straight rib 29 Gauge metal panels. This home had major ice damn build-up and subsequent leakage problems. The previous owner had built a roof on top of the original roof but did not fix the insulation and vapor barrier causing the blocks of ice between the two roofs now. These blocks of ice melt on mild winter days, run into the wall, and come out through windows and floors. How we approached this job: we removed the secondary roof to access the inner sealing and create a vapor barrier from wall to wall over the ceiling space. This was done using a closed-cell spray foam which will also be the insulation for the home. All of this work was performed on the outside of the house so that the tenants could be uninterrupted.

FYI: This job was challenging due to the extensive prior roof renovations and additions that were clearly not effective. If you are ever asked to put a double roof on your existing roof this is a REALLY bad idea. %90 of the time the roof structure on your home is not what is causing you the problems. Adding another layer ( roof system) is just a band-aid solution. Problems that will occur are moisture and heat leaving your home through the ceiling and it now has more places to collect, to condensate frost and ice. What you really want to tackle is stopping the heat and moisture that's inside the home from escaping through the ceiling ( inadequate vapor barrier and insulation). Before you just go and add more blown insulation you need to be sure that you have proper vapor barrier or the problem will continue. Many roof companies do not deal with vapor barriers which leaves the owners with many future problems. Insulation and vapor barrier go hand in hand. One is not effective without the other.

PORCUPINE

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Residential Home
PORCUPINE, Ontario

      Material:  Optimum rib  
Color Choice: melchurs green
Sq. Footage: 2200

This 2200 Square foot home and garage has "melchurs green" Optimum Rib Gauge metal panels from Agway. 

The owner replaced his shingle roof with metal. 20 years ago owner would of liked to do metal, however; the industry was not set up (not enough colors, no product availability, and no installers). Now that his shingles are finished and the industry has what he wants he was easily able to choose a color he wants, a warranty he likes, and a company that specializes in metal installations to install his new metal roof. 

Project duration: 3 days 

NELLIE LAKE 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Residential Home
Nellie Lake, ON

      Material:  Optimum rib 
Color Choice: chocolate brown 
Sq. Footage: 2800

Owner wanted to ensure that upon selling his home there would be no issues with the roofing system. The shingles were in good condition. Shingles for this job were removed no rot was found. A synthetic underlay was installed on the roof decking. A strapping system was installed on the underlay to allow airflow and provide proper fastening sub-straight for metal panels. The chimney was flashed with an EPDM rubber flashing specific to metal roof systems. This chimney was close to the peak and did not require an extra snow stop system above it. In other cases when a chimney is close to the eave we would install bracing specific to metal roofs and a snow stop system adequate to protect the chimney and the braces from snow pressure. 

FYI: Metal roofing is reflective of the sun’s energy, this particular panel has a reflective paint system on it which reflects the sun’s energy away from the house. In the U.S. these panels are recognized as energy efficient and hold an Energy Star rating. Reflective metal roofing can save your home up to 40% in summer cooling energy costs. Hopefully, Canada will catch up to this and homeowners will be able to benefit from a rebate for installing an energy smart metal roof.

Project duration: 3 days

_________________

The customer who chose this roof requested a material that would be unique but match the stucco previously applied to their home. The bright red color offers this home a very distinct feature in the neighborhood all while matching the character of the property and  home perfectly.

This project did not require installation of strapping to the old roof in order to apply a metal roof. The customer had a solid substrate that could accommodate the new material properly, therefore, the roofing system was applied directly over the old roof.

This project in particular took 1 week to complete.
