There are several different ways to repair a Toronto fascia roof, and a certain way will most likely work best for every repair job. First, here are some of the most common ways to repair a Toronto fascia roof: Roof Leaks – A major problem with a roof is leaks. Fortunately, leaks can usually be easily found and attended to without too much difficulty. The first step in fixing a leaky roof is to get all of the necessary tools. You will need a sturdy ladder with a wet/dry lift for the purpose of lifting up the damaged areas, such as tar paper, shingle, or other roofing material, and nails and metal clips for the repair job. It is also possible to improvise with staples and screws if the situation calls for it.

Start by making sure the ladder is completely vertical. If the ladder is not, use drywall anchors and tie it down from above using tar paper. Once the tar paper is secure, climb up to the top of the ladder and remove all of it except the two brackets that attach it to the roof. These are called “tack strips.” Then, using pry bars, gently pull off the old tar paper from the exposed nails on the fascia and the adjacent roofing sections.

Next, remove the tar paper and replace it with brand-new tar paper. Use pry bars again to lever this strip away from the damaged sections of roofing. Continue this process until all of the nails holding the fascia roof in place are removed. Use pry bars to further push the fascia roof down as far as possible.

After securing the fascia to the roof, remove any excess tar paper from the exposed nails and screw the exposed sections of roofing together. This will form the base of your new fascia roof system. Use pry bars to keep nails in place and screw them together using the same screws you used for the fascia roof replacement. Make sure all of the nails are firmly fixed to the fascia. You can then add any final sealing materials to the seams and use pry bars to anchor each nail in place.

Once all of the tar paper and nails are secured, cut away excess sections of roofing material at the bottom of the fascia and tie these sections into place with tar paper. You can now remove the topmost sections of fascia that extends past the roof line. Clean up the debris left behind by the removal of these first two sections. Add cement to the joints between these two sections to help it remain stronger. This will also make it easier to clean later on.

After these are complete, remove the tar paper and allow the fascia roofing to dry. Remove any loose or broken tar paper from the ends of the fascia. Check for any sharp edges that may cause damage to your shingles or your roofing if they are used. Use pry bars to anchor the fascia securely to the roof and add pry bars where necessary for further support. If you notice any missing pieces of fascia, they can be replaced.

After the fascia has dried completely, the repair is complete. Your roofing contractor will be able to advise you on the best way to maintain the good work of your roof. Depending on your roofing material, maintenance may be minimal or non-existent. In the case of tar and gravel roofs, however, maintenance is necessary to avoid future problems.

Depending on your roofing material, the fascia will either need to be painted or sealant coated. Make sure that the materials you select are specifically designed for use with tar and gravel roofs. In most cases, the coatings will last up to 20 years. For those wishing to install a roof themselves, a fascia roof repair contractor is the best option. It is important to select a professional that has experience in installing this type of roofing. A faulty installation could lead to severe damage to the fascia and other roofing materials.
