Tinsmith

Tinsmith

Installing or repairing a roof includes not only roofing work, but also tinsmithing, a specialty that involves designing and assembling metal elements integrated into your roof.

Why call in a tinsmith in Montreal?

Every roofing project, whether new construction or renovation, has its own unique features, specific to each structure. Custom metalwork is essential to ensure the integrity of your building’s covering, promote roof ventilation and prevent infiltration. This is precisely where a qualified tinsmith in Montreal comes in to ensure the durability of your roof.

Roof protection and ventilation

Your tinsmith, trained for this particular task, manufactures and installs finishing elements adapted to all types of roofing materials and coatings (sheet metal, copper, zinc, steel, etc.). This technician installs soffits and fascias, ensuring optimal ventilation of your roof space, while protecting the edges of the roof from the elements. He can also install or repair your gutter systems.

When should you call in a tinsmith?

In Montreal and other regions, tinsmiths must be consulted from the earliest stages of roof design. The tinsmith’s role begins at the planning stage, when he carries out in-depth studies to ensure that the roof is solid, safe and aesthetically pleasing.

We strongly recommend that you contact a tinsmith at the first sign of a problem with your roof. Prompt action will prevent damage from getting worse, and keep repair costs down.

In addition to managing ventilation and drainage systems, the tinsmith is an expert in the design of various metal elements for your structure. For this, it’s best to call on him right from the start of the project, in parallel with the architect’s involvement.

How do I find a good tinsmith in Montreal?

It’s essential to choose a reliable, qualified professional to install your roof ventilation systems with complete peace of mind. Here’s a guide to help you select the best craftsman:

  • Talk to several specialists. Take the time to thoroughly explore each profile to avoid hasty or impulsive choices that could lead to regret.
  • Make a list of the candidates who have convinced you the most. Select those who seem to best meet your needs and criteria.
  • Ask about the quality of their past work and their ability to meet deadlines. Ask for references and testimonials. A professional who refuses to provide you with contacts may be a red flag. You can also read online reviews to get a broader picture.
  • Finally, arrange a second interview or hire the professional you feel is best suited to meet your requirements. Choose the one who inspires confidence and demonstrates clear expertise.
