Saint-Laurent holds one of the largest industrial and commercial building stocks on the island. Warehouses, plants, distribution centres, office buildings: large roof areas, often loaded with mechanical equipment. On this kind of building the roof is not a cosmetic line item. It is what protects the inventory, the equipment and the continuity of operations.

What makes a large roof fail

  • Mechanical penetrations. Ventilation units, ducts, anchors, supports: every pass-through is a weak point, and most leaks start there.
  • Undersized drainage. On 40,000 square feet, heavy rain is a considerable volume. A blocked drain becomes a structural load.
  • Maintenance traffic. Technicians going up to the units always walk the same path and wear the membrane locally.
  • Stacked repairs. Ten years of patches ends up costing more than a planned replacement.

Insulation and R-value

On a heated warehouse the roof accounts for a large share of thermal loss. A re-roofing is the only moment when insulation can be upgraded at a reasonable cost, since the membrane is already off. We always price the option of adding insulation, with the target R-value.

White membrane is required for a major repair

As in most Montreal boroughs, a major flat roof repair must use a white material to limit heat islands. That is a permit constraint, not a preference.

  • No open flame on the roof. TPO is heat-welded with a hot-air iron, no torch and no toxic fumes.
  • 20 to 25 years of service life in Quebec, with a 20-year manufacturer warranty.
  • Reflective white surface that cuts summer cooling load.
  • Every seam is hot-air welded, giving continuous watertightness.

The other membranes we service

Elastomeric membrane

A granule-surfaced two-ply membrane installed with a torch, very common on the existing stock. It is a separate niche, served by other companies. We repair and maintain it.

Asphalt and gravel

A sturdy multi-layer system, less and less installed. It lasts 15 to 20 years and needs more maintenance.

EPDM

A darker single-ply membrane, very durable, but it absorbs heat instead of reflecting it.

In addition, Clinique de la toiture FCA’s promise is support from A to Z in your project. As experienced roofers, we want to advise our new clients in Terrebonne as best we can on what constitutes a successful roof renovation, and offer new roofing system options for your roof.

We are not in the business of advising a roof replacement when a repair is possible.

On the other hand, in the event that the complete renovation proves to be inevitable, we have a policy of transparency at all times as to the size and the cost of your project.

What it costs

Count on $11 to $16 per square foot for a TPO roof, materials and labour. Height, crane access, the number of units to work around and any insulation upgrade move the number more than square footage alone. We never give a firm price without going up on the roof first.

FAQ

Can a warehouse roof be redone while in operation?

Yes. We work in sections, each made watertight before the end of the day.

How do you handle rooftop mechanical units?

Each penetration gets its own waterproofing detail. That is where most leaks happen.
