Roofing
The Roof – The Most Important Part of Your Home
A roof is more than just a covering—it’s the first and most crucial layer of protection for your home. It shields you from the elements, preventing rain, snow, wind, and heat from causing structural damage. A properly installed roof ensures energy efficiency, prevents leaks, and preserves the integrity of your home’s interior. Without a durable roof, moisture can infiltrate, leading to costly repairs, mold, and weakened foundations.
Expert Roof Replacement – Done Right in One Day
At Lema Construction Inc., we provide fast, high-quality roofing replacements, ensuring a seamless process with minimal disruption. Our one-day roof replacement includes:
Tarps for Protection
✓ Before shingle removal, we hang tarps on the roof to prevent scratches or damage to siding walls.
✓ Tarps are removed immediately after old shingle removal to keep the workspace clean.
Leak Barrier Installation
✓ Ice and water shield leak barrier is applied at roof bottoms to protect vulnerable areas from moisture damage.
✓ Ice and water shield installed in valleys, preventing water from seeping into weak points.
Aluminum Drip Edge Installation
✓ Aluminum drip edge installed on all roof edges, ensuring proper water runoff and preventing leaks along the edges.
Inspection & Decking Repairs
✓ We thoroughly inspect, repair, and re-nail roof decking to ensure a solid foundation for proper shingle fastening.
✓ Why is this necessary? A weak or damaged deck can lead to poor adhesion, leaks, and long-term structural issues.
Underlayment for Added Protection
✓ The remaining roof surface is covered with synthetic felt underlayment, creating an additional layer of water resistance and durability.
Replacement of Roof Accessories
✓ We replace essential components such as pipe boots, vent boxes, chimney lead flashing, and more.
✓ Skylight and siding wall step flashings are assessed and replaced if necessary.
Premium Roofing Materials & Warranty
We install GAF HDZ asphalt shingles, ensuring high-performance, long-lasting durability, and enhanced wind resistance. Additionally, we offer a material warranty under the GAF System Plus program, providing extended protection for your investment.
Attic Ventilation Assessment
Proper attic ventilation is key to maintaining the longevity of your roof, preventing moisture buildup, heat damage, and improving energy efficiency. If you have any ventilation concerns, let us know—we can assess and provide solutions for optimal airflow.
Delivery & Waste Disposal Included
To make the process hassle-free, we include:
Same-day material delivery, ensuring a smooth installation.
Driveway-friendly dump truck for efficient waste disposal, keeping your property clean.

Flat Roofs & Low-Pitch Roofs – What You Need to Know
A flat roof or low-pitch roof has little to no slope, typically ranging from completely flat to a pitch of 2:12 or less. Unlike steep roofs that allow water to drain easily, these roofs require specialized waterproofing systems to prevent leaks and water pooling.

EPDM (Rubber Roofing) – Flexible, long-lasting, and resistant to UV rays
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a durable, flexible, and waterproof synthetic rubber roofing system ideal for flat and low-slope roofs. It withstands UV rays, extreme temperatures, and moisture, making it a reliable long-term solution.
Why Choose EPDM?
✓ Superior waterproofing against rain, snow & standing water
✓ UV & weather-resistant for long-lasting durability
✓ Expands & contracts to prevent cracks and damage
✓ Energy-efficient options in black or white
✓ Low maintenance & long lifespan
✓ Eco-friendly & cost-effective solution
EPDM is widely used in commercial and residential projects, offering strong, waterproof protection for modern roofing needs.
Why Shingles Are Not Recommended for Low-Pitch Roofs
Water Drainage Issues – Shingles rely on gravity to shed water, which is inefficient on a low-slope surface.
Increased Risk of Leaks – Without proper runoff, water can seep under shingles, causing damage over time.
Reduced Longevity – Shingle roofs on low slopes wear down faster due to prolonged exposure to moisture.
