Everything you need to know about elastomeric membrane roofing
1What is elastomeric membrane roofing?
Elastomeric membrane is a flexible coating made from modified bitumen, reinforced with a polymer that gives it its characteristic strength. It is installed in two layers torch-welded together: a base layer for waterproofing, and a top layer protected by gravel or ceramic. It’s the go-to material for flat roofs in Montreal, for single-family homes as well as duplexes, triplexes, and commercial buildings.
2Why elastomeric membrane is the top choice in Quebec
Montreal winters put roofs to the test. Freeze-thaw cycles, snow load, and extreme temperature swings weaken standard coverings in just a few seasons. Elastomeric membrane stays flexible even in deep cold. It won’t crack from thermal contraction and remains watertight where other materials fail. That’s why it’s found on the vast majority of flat roofs across Greater Montreal.
3SBS or APP: which type should you choose?
There are two families of elastomeric membranes. SBS membrane (styrene-butadiene-styrene) stays flexible in low temperatures and is perfectly suited to Quebec’s climate. APP membrane (atactic polypropylene) is more resistant to intense heat and is suited to roofs that are highly exposed to the sun. For the vast majority of projects on the Island of Montreal, SBS is the logical choice. Our roofers assess your roof’s configuration before recommending one or the other.
4A durable material that’s easy to repair
Properly installed and maintained annually, an elastomeric membrane lasts between 20 and 35 years. And when an issue comes up (localized blister, edge lifting, crack around a roof penetration), a targeted repair is often enough to restore waterproofing without replacing the entire covering. That’s one of this material’s biggest advantages: it can be repaired precisely, which helps space out full replacements and protect your investment longer.

Our roofing services: repair, replacement, and more
- Sloped roofs: ideal for shedding water and snow, they are common in Quebec
- Flat roofs: very popular on modern buildings, they offer development options such as lounge areas
Materials we install during a replacement:
1Elastomers
Waterproof and durable, elastomeric membrane is particularly suited to low-slope sections. It withstands the extreme temperature variations of Quebec winters very well.
2Slate
A noble material par excellence, slate is ideal for heritage buildings. It lasts a very long time but requires a solid supporting structure due to its weight.
3Shingles
Asphalt or wood, depending on the building and budget. Asphalt shingles are the most common: resistant to moisture, easy to maintain on steep slopes.
4Metal
Lightweight, recyclable, and remarkably resistant to snow. A well-executed installation easily lasts 40 years. The only downside: it can be noisy in the rain depending on the type of installation.
Our approach: inspection first, intervention second
No two roofs age the same way: pitch, materials, and exposure all change the nature of the problem—and the solution. Our roofers first assess your exact setup to pinpoint the best-suited service. You receive a clear recommendation, tailored to your building and your budget.

Roof Replacement
Look beyond just another repair.
An endless cycle of repairs often signals a deeper problem. At some point, roof replacement costs less than a series of temporary fixes. The chosen material takes into account your building and Montreal's climate, with installation compliant with RBQ standards at every step.

Roof Repair
Fix the problem before it worsens.
The freezing and thawing of the Quebec winter weaken Montreal roofs, often without being visible at first glance. Blisters, peeling, cracks around penetrations: our roofers trace back to the real cause rather than patching the symptom. The roof repair is then carried out with materials chosen to last over time.

Roof Inspection
A clear report is better than a costly surprise.
Identifying a fragile area before it becomes a structural problem is the whole point of an annual roof inspection. Our roofers examine the membrane, flashings, drains, and junctions. You then receive a detailed report to prioritize work according to your budget.
