Everything you need to know about mansard roofing
1What is a mansard roof?
A mansard roof is recognizable by its two stacked slopes: a very steep lower slope and a gentler upper slope. This profile is widespread in Montréal in neighbourhoods such as Plateau-Mont-Royal, Rosemont, and Villeray. Century-old duplexes and triplexes still feature these period roofs. What truly sets the mansard apart is the space it creates: the headroom under the lower slope is often sufficient to fit out a bedroom, office, or livable storage area.
2Advantages of a Mansard Roof
In Montréal’s dense neighbourhoods, the mansard offers something rare: additional living space without changing the building footprint. Its steep slopes naturally shed snow and rainwater, which reduces the risk of leaks after winter thaws. When properly insulated, it creates a more efficient thermal envelope than a standard flat roof—and you will see it on your heating bill.
3The Mansard Roof: A Source of Inspiration for Architects
The mansard is not just a relic of the past. Contemporary architects incorporate it into heritage restoration projects as well as new builds, precisely because it is adaptable. Dormers can be added to bring in light, solar panels can be installed on the upper slope, or a rainwater harvesting system can be integrated. It delivers on both fronts: period charm and today’s requirements.
4A Durable and Aesthetic Investment
A well-built mansard is a roof that lasts. Asphalt shingles, pre-painted metal, or slate—when the right material is chosen and installation is done properly, it stands up to Québec winters for decades. It also boosts resale value: this type of roof adds architectural character that is difficult to replicate. The upfront cost is higher than a standard roof, but durability and visual appeal more than make up the difference.

Materials we install during a replacement:
1Elastomers
Waterproof and durable, elastomeric membranes are particularly suitable for low-slope sections. They withstand the extreme temperature variations of Quebec winters well.
2Slate
The ultimate premium material, slate is a staple for heritage buildings. It is exceptionally long-lasting but requires a solid load-bearing structure due to its weight.
3Shingles
Available in asphalt or wood, depending on the building and budget. Asphalt shingles are the most common: moisture-resistant and 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.
Before any repair or replacement, our roofers inspect your roof to target the actual problem rather than just the visible symptoms. You will receive a clear recommendation tailored to your building and budget.

Roof Inspection
Anticipate problems before they become costly.
An annual inspection allows you to identify vulnerable areas before they cause structural damage. Our roofers assess the slopes, dormers, flashing, and insulation, then provide you with a clear report to prioritize work according to your budget.
