3. Still happy with North Shore Roofing and Drainage after 48 years
Way Back When and Now! 3
Way back when - in 1965, Harry Gerbracht, then a builder by trade,
bought his house in Edgemont, North Vancouver. “It cost me
$12,000,” recalls Harry. “The house needed a
new Roof and I called in North Shore Roofing.
Then North Shore Roofing was owned by
Johnnie and Scottie. Their workmanship was
amazing. In 1982 I did a house remodel and
again North Shore Roofing was my roofer of
choice. It’s now 2014 and for the first time my
roof needs replacing. Who did I call? North
Shore Roofing. Once again, Great price,
thorough job, excellent clean up, oh and the
quality of workmanship? Amazing.”
There’s more! When we first did Harry’s roof, he was a builder.
Ambitious, he became a leading developer on the North Shore. “I
was always so impressed with North Shore Roofing’s work, I used
their services for some 20 commercial developments. I have made
North Shore Roofing, my roofer of choice for 48 years. Today’s
owners honor the tradition of Johhny and Scottie. I’ve been a
customer of North Shore Roofing for 50 years. I recommend you are
too!”

Flat Roofs and Torch On Roofing
What is torch on roofing?
Without being technical about the chemical
compounds involved, Torch On Roofing generally
consists of two plies of Modified Bitumen Membrane.
Each ply, or layer, is approximately 3 – 4 mm. thick.
The base ply is either mechanically secured (with
screws through large washers referred to as “plates”)
or attached to the substrate with adhesive. The cap
sheet is similar in composition, but often has a
granulated surface to provide protection from the
elements.
Both the top surface of the base sheet and the
bottom face of the cap sheet have a thermofusible
plastic surface. (meaning they can be joined together
– or fused – thermally, in this case by melting both
surfaces with a propane torch) Thus the term “Torch
On Roofing.

Why Are Warranties Important?
A new roof is a big investment, typically involving thousands of
your hard-earned dollars and you want it to last, 25, 30, 40 years,
or more. As with any big investment, knowing in
advance what your warranty covers could save you
thousands in the event that problems arise with your
roof.
What Should I Look For In A Roofing Warranty?
Basically, there are two types of coverage that you should ask
your contractor about: coverage against manufacturing defects
in the materials and coverage against workmanship errors.

17. Modiflex MP-180-Cap
Consisting of a non-woven
reinforced polyester mat which
is coated and permeated with
SBS modified bitumen to a
thickness of approximately 3.5
mm (138 mils). Ceramic mineral
granules cover the surface to
provide superior protection
against ultraviolet rays, while
the underside is sanded to
permit mopping to heat-
sensitive substrates and to
prevent sticking in the roll. This
sheet can be applied as the
protective cap for conventional
BUR membrane, or a top ply in a
two-ply Modiflex system.
17
Some Products We Use
Torchflex TF-95-FF-Base (2.2)
Consists of a reinforcing mat of
non-woven glass fibres coated
and permeated with SBS
bitumen to a thickness of
approximately 2.2 mm (87 mils).
A thin poly-film covers both
surfaces. Upon application, the
top-film will melt with the heat-
welded cap sheet while the
bottom film dissolves during
heat-welding to the substrate.

sheet with a Torchflex or
Armourplast Cap Sheet. Product
meets the requirements of
CGSB 37.56M and ASTM D6163
for Type I, Grade S materials.

that they’re also designed to add
dimension, depth and texture to
your roof line and rakes.
