In Saint-Lazare, homes sit on large wooded lots, and that very setting is what puts a roof to the test. Mature trees let go of leaves, needles and branches that choke the valleys and hold the slopes damp, which is exactly what moss and algae need. Factor in shingles lifting in the wind across the more open sectors, and a housing stock built largely through the 1990s and 2000s whose roofs are now coming due, and the picture is hard to miss: a lot of roofs around here are ripe for replacement. Wait, and a tidy repair turns into a full tear-off. At AP Toitures & Fils, our crew takes care of all of it, no subcontracting, in a single day.
AP Toitures & Fils is a family business founded over 30 years ago, led by Mr. Massie, a 4th-generation roofer, and certified by the RBQ. No subcontractors, one crew that works only in residential asphalt shingles. From sectors like Saddlebrook to sprawling wooded properties, we know Saint-Lazare homes well and we move quickly, in English and in French. Every roof we lay is covered by a 10-year workmanship warranty.
On goes premium asphalt shingle, installed with sustained attention to ventilation and waterproofing. The large Saint-Lazare homes, many of them built two or three decades back, gain real years of life from attic ventilation that has been designed rather than improvised. Across more than 500 roofs, that is the detail we never skip.
A branch come down on the roof, a shingle torn loose, flashing that has shifted. On large wooded lots, none of these is rare. We respond quickly in Saint-Lazare, available 24/7 for emergencies and on hand for maintenance, and we look over the neighbouring sections to keep leaks from getting started.
Buying a large-lot property in Saint-Lazare, or simply want to know where your roof stands? Our inspection, done by an RBQ-certified roofer, comes with a clear written report and no sales pressure, and it keeps the nasty surprises away.
Come winter, snow piles up on the slopes and the tree debris already there makes water sit longer at thaw. We offer roof snow removal in Saint-Lazare to protect the structure and keep ice dams from forming.
Rest easy — we handle everything. When we arrive, we just need space: full access to your driveway and the street frontage for our equipment, and we even bring a portable toilet. Our team protects ground-level items, but as a precaution, please remove fragile pieces (glass tables, BBQs, etc.). One last thing: if you can mow your lawn beforehand, it makes our nail-magnet cleanup much more efficient.
Saint-Lazare is one of the most distinctive communities in all of Vaudreuil-Soulanges. Known for its equestrian culture, its large lots and its sectors set on thick sand deposits, it is an upscale suburb that saw a major residential boom take off in the 1990s. A great many of the roofs laid in that era are now reaching the end of their life cycle. AP Toitures & Fils serves every residential sector, from Saddlebrook to the wooded neighbourhoods, along Highway 40 and Routes 340 and 342, and we work nearby in Hudson, Rigaud, Vaudreuil-Dorion and Sainte-Marthe as well. We know the dense canopy that buries roofs in debris, the humidity that lingers on north slopes, and the winters that pack ice dams along the eaves. Just over the line? Reach out, we will come to you.
