Flat Roof Installation, Replacement and Maintenance in Montreal & Laval
Let the experts at René Perron Couvreurs in Montreal handle the installation or repairs to a multi-layer roof or a flat asphalt or gravel roof on your building. Regardless of the size of the project, our team will provide you with exceptional-quality meticulous work.
Asphalt Roofing Solutions
At René Perron Couvreurs, we have the expertise and experience to work with a range of roofing products. Asphalt, in particular, needs to be installed with great attention and also needs a final layer because asphalt is known to be susceptible to the Canadian weather. Asphalt roofing is suitable for residential use and is a preferred choice because it is a cost-effective and durable solution.
Why is Gravel Important?
It is not enough to simply install a roof. Protecting your roof from weather conditions is also important. To this end, we recommend adding gravel on your roof. You can choose from limestone chippings, rounded gravel and more. We’ll visit you as scheduled and complete the work on time.
The Avantages of Flat Roof, Asphalt and Gravel Roofs
This type of membrane is one that offers, in our view, the best quality / price ratio. Admittedly, this is an old process, but it has been proven and it is easy to maintain. This flat roof membrane is even the only one with a rating of "1" against the spread of fire and, contrary to popular belief, it is not more harmful to the environment or to heat islands than other types of membranes.
