      This house on the North of Edmonton welcomed us with stunning design and wood shakes in the very end of their life. Some were missing. Others were falling off. But shakes were nice and thick. Lets take a look how it was upon our arrival.(sorry for the fingers =) )

       The stucco on the house looked very nice with shakes. That was one of the reasons we introduced our Metal Seamless Shakes to customers. They immediately fell in love with this option.

       After removing four trailer- loads of old shakes and some tricks and magic, we introduced a new roof to our happy clients. With brand new pipeboots, goosenecks and ridge vent all across the roof, we can be sure that this roof will perform at it’s very best from now and forever. As a very important part of our installation, we included snow guards all around the house at no additional cost. This is an essential element for any metal roof, since metal is sleeker than other traditional materials. Snow guards provide protection from avalanches during winter months.

       Here are a few pictures to enjoy:

The post Changing wood shakes onto Lifetime Seamless Metal Shakes appeared first on I Roof Alberta.

       In this post I want to show you one crazy project we completed this summer. It includes a house and a garage. Roof was done with 24 ga Dark Zink color scratch resistant steel in 1″ standing seam profile. This projects sits in a beautiful neighborhood next to the valley and Glenora area. Modern and sleek design from Ministry Of Design

        Interesting roof design with multiple tough spots for installers. As usual, we folded panels on all valleys and edges. To make it 100% bulletproof and eliminate screws on a roof. Keeping in mind that this roof is made of valleys, we spent lots of time on it. But happy with the result.

       As you can see, we installed snow rails on this standing seam roof everywhere to protect surroundings during winter. Additional snow rails were installed over sensitive areas. Such as chimney, dead valley on a back of the house and flat roof canopy to the left of the main entrance.

       But most interesting part of the project was hidden between main area house and addition. Wall and roof meet together creating deep valley. We faced the challenge of creating something that can hold LOTS of water and snow for long periods of time without leaking. However, keeping it in line with current roof design and standing seam profile. So we ended up with complicated structure of elements, installed over BlueSkin underlayment. All parts of the system were custom measured and made. Every part was installed using fold and hidden fasteners. Please see below for pictures during installation and result.

        In the end , i would like to present you with a fly-around video from the drone. It is really breathtaking experience. Please enjoy.

The post Standing Seam new build appeared first on I Roof Alberta.

The post Red cottage on Pigeon Lake appeared first on I Roof Alberta.

Let me introduce you another big part of our services – standing seam roofing systems. This is by far the most common and popular option for any type of the building. It’s proven hidden-fasteners design allows installation on any slope. Keeping in mind almost infinite color options, there is no surprise that standing seam is the choice of thousands in Alberta.

There are plenty of ways and options you can choose to upgrade standing seam roofing systems up to our standards and budget. I will show you couple of our most recent installations.        Standing Seam roofs most of the time installed over existing plywood/OSB roofing deck. In our case, we are NOT trying to save pennies and do install all necessary trims, like the J-Trims on hips. We make sure that any penetrations are watertight, including plumbing stacks.

 

Here is a nice view of how the roof looks like just before paneling begins. Please take a note of J-trims on hips and at the walls. This is to prevent any water or snow to travel upwards with a wind.

And now the paneling begins. Keeping in mind that metal roof is way more sleek than asphalt shingles, we install snow rails all around the house and on a lower decks as well. We believe that this is absolute necessity, because big chunks of ice or snow can possibly travel down damaging the property underneath. But most importantly – it is a safety feature. That is why snow rails are included and there is no extra charges here.

And this is how it looks from the roof with some snow on =))

Front of the house. Again, there are snow rails everywhere including the porch.

This property features amazing garage with live-in suite on a second floor. Since there are cathedral ceilings in a suit, we proposed another system here. Self-ventilated upgrade with heat-reflective underlayment.

We made sure that all pipes are 100% waterproof and framed around for additional strength.

 

 

And installed panels.

 

 

We put snow rails on every slope as well.

 

 

And here is final result covered with some snow. Keep an eye on how the snow rails are keeping all this snow on a roof.

 

Our next project was on South Cooking lake. Here we had standing seam roof that needed a replacement due to damage.

 

 

On this job we noticed how NOT to install flashings around chimney and skylight. Here is BAD example

 

 

 

Pretty much installers made a pool and all the water and snow and ice did not have a place to go. So end up sitting behind the structure causing damage and possible leak. They did a good job with silicone though =)). But also lots of exposed fasteners made this roof system more weak.

And here is how we did it

 

 

Here are couple pictures of final result

 

 

Thank you for your interest and stay covered =)
