Last week we installed natural slate tiles on a mansard roof in Cabbagetown, Toronto. However, the slope of the adjoining dormer roof was too low to install slate, so we suggested our client have the dormer roof covered with copper. Here you see our coppersmiths fabricating the panels on site and installing the copper.
Our downtown Toronto client's mansard roof was leaking near the valley where the two slopes meet. Contributing to the leakage was a narrow valley that did not run far enough under the natural slate tiles. Given the slate tiles on the smaller mansard section were in poor condition we replaced them with new slate tiles cut to match the decorative design and removed and replaced slates on the other section to install a proper width valley.
This past week, M&R Roofing's experienced slate masons installed fine Quebec natural slate tiles, which were finished with copper flashings, on the roof of a Heritage Toronto home in Cabbagetown.
Here M&R Roofing is repairing and replacing slate roof tiles in East York, Toronto.
Not long ago in the Friday, February 19, 2010 edition of the Globe and Mail’s Real Estate section the home of a past client was featured as the Resale Homes: Home of the Week represented by our friend Richard Silver of Bosley Real Estate. Last summer M&R Roofing completed various roofing work at the Edwardian home on 52 Amelia Street in Cabbagetown.
