Roofing in Meaford

Meaford catches weather from the west and north off the open bay, and its housing stock, older brick homes in town, rural properties and orchards outside it, wears that weather in predictable places. In town, the failures we see are chimney flashing, valleys, and north-slope moss on shaded streets. Outside town, it is wind-worked edges on exposed farmhouses and outbuildings that were last roofed decades ago.

The response is the same craftsmanship we bring everywhere, tuned for the building: proper step-and-counter flashing rebuilt into brick joints rather than smeared with caulking, algae-resistant shingles where the trees keep roofs damp, and steel for the farm buildings. Every quote itemized, every job magnet-swept before we leave.

The older brick homes around the harbour were built with deep overhangs and wide wood fascia, and a lot of that fascia is original. It holds paint badly now, and once the trough above it starts overflowing the wood stays wet from October to April. Capping it in aluminum is worth doing, but only after the soft sections come out, or the new hangers go into rot.

Out on the orchard-country roads the problem is different. Long single-storey runs with one downspout at the end cannot move a spring melt, so the corners overflow every March. The fix is another downspout, not a new trough.
