Location: Toronto
Service: Roof Repair & Soffit Restoration
Challenge
A homeowner in Toronto required several localized roof repairs after noticing damaged shingles and concerns related to previous animal activity. The existing animal mesh at the front left upper roof needed to be removed and the underlying shingles replaced. Additional shingle damage was identified on the lower left section of the roof.
There were also sealing and structural concerns at the back left soffit and roof transition, where gaps in the J-trim and eavestrough required caulking. The upper left soffit had areas that needed re-securing to help restore a proper fit.
Although no visible entry points were found on this property, the homeowner had concerns about possible squirrel activity. Based on the inspection, there were no active intrusion sites, but the technician noted that if squirrels were present, they might be entering from the neighbouring valley or upper front flashing.
Safe access and full cleanup of work-related debris were required as part of the service.
Solution
Dominion Roofing completed a series of targeted repairs to address the issues identified during inspection:
Shingle Repairs
- Removed the existing animal mesh at the front left upper roof
- Replaced damaged shingles in the same area
- Replaced additional damaged shingles on the lower left roof section
Sealing & Waterproofing
- Caulked the J-trim and the back of the eavestrough at the back left soffit and roof transition to improve sealing and reduce water infiltration risk
Soffit Re-Securing
- Re-secured soffit panels at the upper left section where needed to ensure proper alignment and stability
Worksite Safety & Cleanup
- Ensured safe access for all workers throughout the repair process
- Cleaned all work-related debris, leaving the property clear and orderly
Result
The completed repairs restored the roof’s integrity by replacing damaged shingles, improving sealing at key transition points, and reinforcing soffit stability. The removal of the animal mesh allowed proper repair of the affected shingle area, and the inspection confirmed no active squirrel entry points on the property.
While no direct access routes for animals were found, the technician advised that any future activity may originate from the neighbouring roof’s valley or upper front flashing.
This project demonstrates Dominion Roofing’s ability to deliver precise, localized repairs that address both structural and homeowner concerns while ensuring long-term roof performance.
