Frequently Asked Questions
Filter
When should you inspect a flat roof?
Regular inspection must consider which elements?
We must inspect all aspects of the roof, such as the attic, exterior siding, openings, walls, structure, decking, etc. A full inspection will reveal more information to better understand the state your roof and your entire building.
When should you change the covering of a flat roof?
The signs vary depending on the type of membrane; a rooftop terrace and a green roof require different expertise. The elastomer may have folds in the membrane, the covering may be abnormally deteriorated, and joints may be cracked. On the other hand, the asphalt membrane may be missing gravel or have bubbles or cracks in the covering. If you want to have the opinion of an expert, our technical consultants can visit the site to verify the quality of the covering.

Do you offer ground snow removal services?
At your request, we can offer snow removal services to clear the pathways necessary to allow traffic to flow. Our partner, specializing in commercial snow removal, owns the equipment necessary to offer a complete and safe service. We use a steam machine to de-ice in record time without damaging the roof.
Will snow removal affect business operations?
Les Couvreurs Duro-Toit take pains to organize snow removal so that operations can continue as usual. Our team is discreet and professional, while working safely.
Why remove snow from commercial roofs?
You need to prevent severe damage that could be irreversible. Snow removal can eliminate the possibility of a disaster in a commercial building at the same time that it preserves the integrity of its structure. By removing the excess weight from the roof, you can avoid a structural collapse due to the snow and the accumulation of snow and ice in the reservoirs and storm drains. In many cases, insurance companies make snow removal mandatory.

Our service unit can effect repairs immediately. It is not necessary to prepare an estimate, which would take too much time. This rapid response is possible because our service unit is equipped with all the necessary equipment.
