Residential Roofing by Platinum Roofing & Exteriors Hamilton

Residential

Residential Roofing

Architectural shingles, designer profiles, cedar, and synthetic slate — installed by senior crews to a 25-year workmanship standard.

A residential roof in Hamilton has to take everything an Ontario climate throws at it: 40°C summers, –25°C winters, freeze-thaw cycles, ice damming, lake-effect snow, and the occasional September wind storm rolling off Lake Ontario. We install accordingly.

Our standard residential system pairs a full ice-and-water shield package (eaves, valleys, penetrations), a synthetic underlayment, GAF Master Elite architectural shingles, ridge-vent ventilation balancing, and copper or coloured aluminum flashings sized to your trim. The roofs we put on in 2003 still look like they were finished last season.

What's included

  • Full tear-off down to deck — never a layover
  • Deck inspection, sheathing replacement where needed
  • Ice & water shield at eaves, valleys, penetrations
  • Synthetic underlayment on full deck
  • Premium architectural or designer shingle
  • Balanced intake + exhaust ventilation
  • New step-flashings, drip-edge, and pipe boots
  • Crisp daily site cleanup, final magnetic sweep
  • 25-year written workmanship warranty
Commercial Roofing by Platinum Roofing & Exteriors Hamilton

Commercial

Commercial Roofing

TPO, EPDM, modified-bitumen, and PVC systems for warehouses, retail, multi-tenant, and institutional buildings across the GHA.

Commercial roofs fail because of seams, penetrations, and ponding — not because of the membrane. Our commercial division specializes in flat and low-slope systems where the install detail matters more than the spec sheet. Every penetration gets a proper boot. Every seam gets a probe test before we leave site.

We work with property managers, general contractors, and building owners across Hamilton, Burlington, Stoney Creek, Ancaster, Grimsby, and St. Catharines. Projects range from a single 6,000-sq-ft warehouse to multi-building campus re-roofs phased over a season.

What's included

  • Site survey + core sample for moisture mapping
  • TPO, EPDM, PVC, or modified-bitumen systems
  • Tapered insulation for positive drainage
  • Welded seams with probe verification
  • New drains, scuppers, and overflow systems
  • Parapet cap detailing with metal coping
  • Walkpad installation around HVAC units
  • NDT moisture survey on completion
  • Manufacturer-backed 20-year warranty
Metal Roofing by Platinum Roofing & Exteriors Hamilton

Premium

Metal Roofing

Standing-seam steel, copper, and aluminum panel systems engineered for fifty-year service life on Niagara-region homes.

Metal is the longest-lasting residential roof system available — when installed correctly. We use 24-gauge Galvalume or 26-gauge steel panels with concealed-fastener standing-seam profiles, hidden-clip attachment, and ice-and-water shield underlayment across the full deck.

Roof panels are roll-formed on-site to your exact rake-to-rake length, eliminating end-laps. We install copper or matte-painted aluminum flashings, snow guards above doorways and walkways, and full ventilation balancing. The result: a 50-year answer for the roof above your kitchen.

What's included

  • On-site panel roll-forming, no end-laps
  • 24-gauge steel or 26-gauge Galvalume
  • Concealed-fastener standing-seam profile
  • Hidden-clip attachment, no exposed screws
  • Full ice & water shield underlayment
  • Snow guards above egress doors
  • Copper or matte-painted aluminum flashings
  • 50-year manufacturer warranty
  • Engineered for 180 km/h wind uplift
Flat Roofs by Platinum Roofing & Exteriors Hamilton

Specialty

Flat Roofs

Modified-bitumen, TPO, and EPDM systems for low-slope residential additions, dormers, and garage roofs.

Hamilton has a lot of older homes with low-slope additions — sunrooms, kitchen bump-outs, garage flats. These need real flat-roof systems, not shingles laid on a 1-in-12 pitch.

We install proper flat-roof systems: torch-down modified-bitumen on smaller residential flats, mechanically-fastened TPO on larger flats and commercial. Every flat gets two layers of cap-sheet membrane, positive drainage, and full peripheral metal flashings.

What's included

  • Modified-bitumen, TPO, or EPDM systems
  • Two-ply cap-sheet membrane
  • Tapered insulation for positive slope
  • Welded or torched seams
  • New drains with overflow
  • Peripheral metal flashings
  • Manufacturer 15-year material warranty
  • Platinum 10-year workmanship warranty
Eavestroughs & Gutters by Platinum Roofing & Exteriors Hamilton

Drainage

Eavestroughs & Gutters

Seamless 5- and 6-inch aluminum eavestroughs, downspouts, and leaf-guard systems — formed on-site to your exact run lengths.

Eavestroughs fail at the seams. Big-box-store sectional gutters have a seam every 10 feet — every one of them is a future leak. Our seamless aluminum eavestroughs are roll-formed on-site to your exact run length, with no joins except at corners.

We pair them with proper 3" x 4" downspouts (not 2" x 3" — bigger volume, fewer clogs), splash blocks, and optional leaf-guard systems. Installed in one visit, usually in a single day.

What's included

  • 5" or 6" seamless aluminum eavestrough
  • On-site roll-forming to exact run length
  • 32 colour options to match your trim
  • 3" x 4" oversized downspouts
  • Hidden-hanger attachment, every 24"
  • Leaf-guard systems available
  • Splash blocks and rain barrel adapters
  • Lifetime warranty on workmanship
