Shingles lifting, granules in the gutters, a stain spreading on the ceiling? In Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, where the city sits on Grande-Ile between Lac Saint-Francois and Baie Saint-Francois, roofs take the full force of the wind off open water and soak up the freeze-thaw cycles of southwestern Quebec. And because so much of the housing stock is now past the 45-year mark, a great many roofs are simply at the end of their life. The trap is the same one homeowners fall into everywhere: a repair postponed becomes a full replacement, and a dependable local roofer who refuses to subcontract is not always easy to find. At AP Toitures & Fils, our own crew puts on your new roof in a single day.
AP Toitures & Fils is a family business founded over 30 years ago and run today by Mr. Massie, the 4th generation in the trade, with full RBQ certification. No subcontractors here, just one tight crew that does asphalt roofing and nothing else. Whether you are in Champlain, on Grande-Ile, in Saint-Timothee or out by Bellerive, we move quickly and we work with care. Valleyfield is a proud, mostly French-speaking city, we look after your roof in your language, and every job carries our 10-year workmanship warranty.
This is the heart of what we do. We install premium asphalt shingles suited to the Quebec climate, with particular attention paid to attic ventilation and the waterproof underlayment. Beside a wide open lake like Lac Saint-Francois, the wind goes after the nailing and the edges without mercy, so we lay your roof to last. After more than 500 replacements, we know exactly which details earn that staying power.
A shingle ripped off in the wind, flashing loose around a chimney, a membrane beginning to lift. Faults like these run up a bill in a hurry. Our crew answers fast for roof repairs in Valleyfield, available 24/7 for emergencies and ready for routine maintenance, and we check over the neighbouring areas so there are no repeat surprises.
Buying a home in Valleyfield, or want to know your roof’s condition before the snow arrives? An inspection by an RBQ-certified roofer lays it out plainly, which matters all the more on the older homes in the historic neighbourhoods. Honest report, no sales pressure.
Winters here load a roof quickly, and homes standing open to the lake wind build up snow and ice fast. We provide roof snow removal across the city to keep your investment safe from the first storm to the last thaw.
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.
Salaberry-de-Valleyfield is the Venice of Quebec, a city built on water and divided into eight neighbourhoods, among them Champlain, Saint-Timothee, Grande-Ile and Nitro, the last known for its small post-war houses. Roughly a third of its homes were built before 1960 and another third between 1961 and 1980, which adds up to a great many roofs at or near the end of their useful life. The city holds tight to its identity, from the regattas on Baie Saint-Francois to the industrial heritage tied to the canal. AP Toitures & Fils works in every sector, from the Quartier Nord down to the bay shore, and also serves nearby Beauharnois, Saint-Etienne-de-Beauharnois and Saint-Stanislas-de-Kostka, along Highway 30 and the Hebert and Mgr-Langlois boulevards. We know the wind coming off open water, the humidity that feeds moss on the north slopes, and the thaws that build ice dams. On the edge of town? Reach out, we will come to you.
