Pitched or flat: sorting your Forest Hills roof
Two roof types cover nearly every building in the neighbourhood. Find yours, then see where winter gets in.
| Roof type | Pitched (slate, shingle) | Flat (modified bitumen) |
|---|---|---|
| Buildings here | Tudor-style houses, single-family homes, some attached rowhouse fronts | Pre-war apartment buildings, co-ops, attached rowhouse rears, storefronts |
| Material | Slate or asphalt shingle | Modified bitumen membrane |
| Where freeze-thaw opens it | Cracked slates, loose nails, valleys, chimney flashing | Parapet and drain flashing, blistered seams |
| Usual repair | Swap single slates or shingles, re-flash | Re-flash, cut out blisters, torch on new cap; water already reaching apartments gets stopped first |
| Who signs off | You, the owner | Co-op board, managing agent or landlord |
Slate on Tudor-style roofs: repair before you strip
Water seeps into slate, freezes and splits it. Once one slate cracks, water reaches the nails and flashing underneath. Those wear out next.
So we pull the broken slates and slip in matching ones. Chimneys and valleys get fresh flashing. Stripping a roof with years left in it makes no sense. When slates are flaking across whole slopes, or the deck below has gone soft, replacement is due. We'll tell you straight. Weighing a switch from concrete tile to slate? We do that work too.
