Client: Kawartha Lakes Police Station
Location: Kawartha Lakes, Ontario
Roof Type: Sloped Shingle Roof
Project Scope: Full Roof Replacement

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Industrial Roofing Services Limited was selected to complete a full sloped roof replacement at the Kawartha Lakes Police Station, upgrading the existing roofing system to a longer-lasting architectural shingle solution. The original 3-tab shingles had reached the end of their service life and required complete removal to ensure the building remained fully protected.

Given the nature of the facility and the presence of a flat roofing system directly below the sloped roof areas, the project required careful coordination, strict water-management controls, and attention to detail throughout every phase of work.

WORK COMPLETED

Our team completed a full sloped roof replacement, including:

  • Complete removal of all existing 3-tab shingles
  • Inspection of the roof deck and wood decking repairs where required
  • Installation of new ice and water shield for enhanced moisture protection
  • Installation of new synthetic underlayment
  • Supply and installation of IKO Dynasty architectural shingles
  • Continuous protection of the existing flat roof system below to prevent leaks or damage

New Roofing System Installed

  • Shingle Type: IKO Dynasty Architectural Shingles
  • Underlayment: High-performance synthetic underlayment
  • Ice Protection: Full ice and water shield at vulnerable areas
  • Decking: Repaired and reinforced as required prior to installation

The upgrade to architectural shingles provides improved durability, wind resistance, and a longer service life compared to the original 3-tab system.

Project Challenges & Solutions

1. Protecting the Flat Roof Below

Because the sloped roof sits above an active flat roofing system, special precautions were taken to ensure no water infiltration occurred during tear-off or installation. Our crew implemented staged removals, temporary weather protection, and controlled material handling to maintain a watertight condition at all times.

2. Operational Facility Requirements

Working on an active police station required organized scheduling, site safety controls, and clean work practices to minimize disruption while maintaining security and accessibility.

PROJECT OUTCOME

The project resulted in a successful upgrade from aging 3-tab shingles to a modern architectural roofing system, significantly improving overall weather resistance and long-term performance. Throughout construction, the flat roof system below remained fully protected, with zero water intrusion or damage. The new roof installation delivers a clean, durable, and professional finish well-suited to the operational and visual standards required of a critical public facility.
