Grand River Roofing Excellence - Protecting Brantford's Heritage Since 1990

The Challenge:

Brantford experiences significant snowfall averaging 100cm annually, with frequent freeze-thaw cycles creating perfect conditions for ice dam formation. This is particularly problematic in older neighborhoods with less attic insulation.

Our Solution:

We implement a comprehensive ice dam prevention system including enhanced attic insulation, proper ventilation, and premium ice and water shield extending 6 feet beyond the heated wall line. Heating cables are installed where necessary.

The Challenge:

Brantford's location in the Grand River Valley creates wind tunnel effects, with gusts frequently exceeding 60 km/h. Historic homes and exposed residential areas are particularly vulnerable to shingle lift and damage.

Our Solution:

We utilize high-wind rated architectural shingles with enhanced nailing patterns and starter strips. All flashings are double-secured and ridge caps are reinforced with additional fasteners to prevent wind uplift.

The Challenge:

Brantford experiences extreme temperature fluctuations, from summer highs of 30°C to winter lows of -20°C. This thermal cycling causes significant expansion and contraction stress on roofing materials.

Our Solution:

Our installations use temperature-resistant materials designed for extreme Canadian weather. We implement proper expansion joints and utilize synthetic underlayment that can withstand temperature fluctuations without degrading.

The Challenge:

Brantford's proximity to the Grand River contributes to high humidity levels, especially during summer months. This creates ideal conditions for moss growth and premature shingle deterioration.

Our Solution:

We install algae-resistant shingles and implement advanced ventilation systems calibrated for Brantford's humidity levels. Copper or zinc strips are installed near the ridge to prevent moss growth and extend roof life.
