Protect Your Roof from Storm

When it comes to protecting your roof from storms, there are several features you can add to your roof to increase its durability and resistance. One of the most popular features is impact-resistant shingles. These shingles are specially designed to withstand hail, high winds, and other extreme weather conditions. They come in a variety of materials and styles, including asphalt, metal, and tile.

Another important feature is the use of hurricane straps or clips. These metal connectors are designed to secure the roof to the walls and provide extra strength to the roof’s structure during a storm. They are especially critical in areas that are prone to hurricanes and other severe weather events.

Proper ventilation is also important to prevent moisture buildup, which can weaken the roof over time. A well-ventilated roof allows air to flow through the attic and roof system,

Lead Works & Flashing

Lead has long been a trusted material in roofing due to its excellent sealing properties and malleability, making it ideal for creating watertight joints. It is primarily used where different surfaces meet—such as chimneys, roof valleys, and vents—providing a strong barrier against water ingress.

Renowned for its durability and resistance to corrosion, lead offers a long-lasting weatherproofing solution. Its flexibility allows it to be easily shaped and adapted to complex roof structures, ensuring a secure and effective seal even in irregular or hard-to-reach areas.

At 2ND Gen Roofing Ltd, our team of highly skilled roofers specializes in the installation, repair, and maintenance of lead roofing. Whether you need simple lead flashing repairs or a full replacement, no job is too big or too small. With our expertise and commitment to quality workmanship, you can trust us to deliver tailored solutions that stand the test of time.

Different types of lead works & flashing

  • Continuous Flashing / Apron Flashing – Used along the length of a sloped roof to protect the joint where the roof meets a vertical wall.
  • Chimney Flashing – Ensures a watertight seal around chimneys to prevent leaks.
  • Counter Flashing – Installed opposite or above base flashing to direct water away from the joint.
  • Step Flashing – Applied where a sloped roof meets a vertical surface, with individual pieces layered for maximum protection.
  • Skylight Flashing – Provides a secure, weatherproof seal around skylights.
  • Valley Flashing – Protects the roof valleys where two roof slopes meet, directing water away efficiently.
  • Drip Edges – Installed along roof edges to guide water into the gutters and prevent underlayment damage.
  • Kickout Flashing – Directs water away from the intersection of the roof and a wall to prevent moisture damage.
  •  

Each type plays a critical role in maintaining a watertight and durable roofing system.
