Five years ago we purchased a bungalow with a low slope tar and gravel roof. Even as we viewed the home for the first time, on a mild day in February, we could see water dripping from the eaves on both sides, along with abundant evidence that this ongoing problem was causing rot in the wood soffits. The home inspector’s terse comment was “leaks in tar and gravel roofs are often very difficult to find”. These words rang true as we tried to diagnose/fix the problem over the next four years. Four different attempts, by two different contractors and ourselves as homeowners, all failed. Finally, in late 2018, we contacted five more contractors. One never replied at all, another replied but never gave us an estimate, and two others gave us estimates with various and conflicting recommendations. No one actually explained why our roof leaked at the eaves. Peter from Claw Roofing came promptly, and gave us a detailed recommendation to address both the leaking, and the lack of insulation in the ceiling cavity. The removal of the tar and gravel, the installation of a Torchflex roofing system, plus the addition of foam insulation on top of the roof, would greatly relieve our excessive heat loss in the winter (when the main floor of the house felt like an icebox) and our excessive heat gain in the summer (when the main floor of the house felt like a sauna). And sure enough, when the work had been completed, in cold weather in March, we noticed an immediate improvement. The crew did a good job of cleaning up debris in the yard. Some minor damage was done to one area of aluminum siding on the front of the house. Peter hunted down the original color and supplier, ordered the siding (special order from Quebec), had it shipped to Calgary, and installed by his crew, all at his expense. They replaced the siding on half of the front of our house. It’s a good color match with the other half of the front, even though the age difference in the two sidings is 48 years. We feel that Peter demonstrated integrity in his dealings with us, and that his crew does quality work.
