We photograph and document all storm damage before applying temporary protection. That documentation matters for insurance claims.

Luciano did not try to sell me a new roof. Appreciated the honesty — he showed up when he said he would.
We had a leak diagnosed by two other contractors who could not find the source. Blue Knight found it on the first visit and fixed it the same week.
Flat roof replacement on a commercial unit. Clean, fast, no surprises on the invoice. The crew left the site cleaner than they found it.
Called after a storm damaged our roof. Someone was on site within hours, tarped everything, and had us fully repaired before the next rain.
Had a slow basement leak for years. Every other company just caulked it. Blue Knight found the actual source and did a proper waterproofing job. No issues since.
Our neighbours recommended them for a valley repair. Small job, but they treated it like it mattered — showed up on time, matched the shingles perfectly, and charged exactly what they quoted.

Emergency Roof Repair questions for Ajax.
Within 60 minutes of your call, anywhere in Ajax, day or night. Tell us on the phone if water is near light fixtures or the electrical panel so the crew arrives ready for it.
Yes. Calls are answered overnight, on weekends and on holidays, and storm nights are when most of them come in. The 60-minute response applies after hours the same as during the day.
Containment can, and that is the priority: tarps and temporary membrane go on in poor weather to stop the water. Some permanent work, such as replacing a section of shingles that needs to seal down, is better finished on a follow-up visit once conditions are dry.
Clear furniture and electronics from under the drip and catch the water in a bucket or bin. A ceiling sagging with water can be relieved by poking a small hole at its lowest point, so it drains in a controlled way. Nobody should climb onto a wet or icy roof in the dark, so leave the outside to us.
Every emergency visit produces a written report with dated photographs of the damage taken before containment, which is the record an adjuster relies on. We invoice the emergency work separately so it can be submitted alongside the repair estimate.
We can stop the active leak by opening a drainage channel through the ice and protecting the eave, which is the right emergency step. The lasting fix, usually more attic insulation, better ventilation and ice and water protection under the first courses of shingles, is best done as a planned repair.
Yes, including flat roofs on plazas, offices and industrial units. Flat-roof emergencies are often a blocked drain or an open seam after a downpour, and where we can, we clear and seal those on the first visit.
Ajax emergencies follow the weather. Summer thunderstorms and autumn gales off Lake Ontario drive rain into flashing and vents on the lake side of south Ajax homes, while in the newer north end, young subdivisions with little mature tree cover leave roofs open to gusts that strip shingles in sheets. Midwinter thaws bring ice dam leaks to the postwar bungalows, where water backs up behind a frozen eave and runs down inside the exterior wall. The older trees around Pickering Village and along the creek valleys add the other classic call: a limb through the roof after a storm.
From our North York base we reach Ajax within 60 minutes, around the clock. The first job on site is containment: tarping, securing anything loose and keeping water away from ceilings and light fixtures. The second is documentation, with dated photographs taken before the temporary protection hides the evidence. Our trucks carry flashing, shingles and membrane, so many calls end with a permanent repair on the same visit. When the damage is bigger than that, you get a written scope and price to consider in daylight, not at two in the morning.
Ice Dams on Postwar Ajax Bungalows
The most predictable emergency in older Ajax arrives after a week of hard cold followed by a sunny afternoon or a thaw. Heat escaping through a thinly insulated ceiling melts snow on the upper roof, the meltwater trickles to the unheated overhang and refreezes there, and a ridge of ice builds along the eave. Water then pools behind it and works up under the shingles, entering over the exterior wall, where it often shows as a stain at the top of a bedroom wall or a drip at a window head. Low-slope bungalow roofs and shallow attics make the south and central Ajax stock especially prone to it.
Chipping at the ice with a hatchet or throwing salt on the roof damages shingles and rarely solves anything. The emergency step is to open a path for the water and protect the leak area. The permanent step, done in better weather, is to stop the heat loss that caused the melt and make sure the lower courses have an ice and water membrane beneath them.
24/7 Roof Repair Across Ajax After Wind Storms
Wind damage in Ajax tends to show up in two ways. Near the lake it is sustained wind that lifts shingle tabs along the edges and ridges and drives rain into lake-facing vents. In the newer north end it is gusts meeting roofs with little shelter, where the adhesive strips on shingles installed in cold weather sometimes never sealed properly, and whole sections can peel back in a single storm. Either way, the emergency visit secures what has lifted before the next band of rain arrives, and the report records which slopes failed and why, so the permanent repair addresses the cause.
