Roofing Services Across the West Island
The West Island is home to some of Montreal's most established single-family neighbourhoods — Beaconsfield, Pointe-Claire, Kirkland, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, and Pierrefonds. The housing stock, predominantly built between 1960 and 2000, represents a massive market for roofing replacement. Homes built in the 1970s and 1980s are now 45–55 years old, and many are on their second or third roof. Homes from the 1990s are entering the 25–35 year range when architectural shingles begin to fail.
West Island homes typically feature pitched roofs with architectural shingles — ideal for IKO Cambridge, IKO Dynasty, or BP Mystique 42 systems. Property values in Beaconsfield and Kirkland range from $550,000 to $750,000 and above, making a quality roof replacement a sound investment that protects and enhances the asset.
Attic Ventilation & Ice Damming
One of the most common problems we encounter in West Island homes is inadequate attic ventilation — a legacy of construction standards from the 1970s and 1980s that did not account for today's energy-efficient building envelopes. When an attic is poorly ventilated, heat builds up in summer (shortening shingle life) and in winter, warm air escaping through the ceiling melts roof snow, which refreezes at the cold eaves and creates ice dams.
When we assess a West Island roof, we evaluate the full system: shingles, decking, ice-and-water shield coverage, soffit intake vents, and ridge exhaust ventilation. A new roof without addressing ventilation deficiencies will not perform to its full lifespan — and ice dam problems will persist. We include a ventilation assessment with every roofing estimate.
Basement Finishing & Kitchen Renovations
West Island bungalows and two-storey homes often feature large, unfinished basements — 700 to 1,200 square feet of untapped living space. Basement finishing is one of the highest-ROI renovation projects for West Island homeowners, adding functional square footage to the most underutilized area of the home.
Kitchen renovations are also highly popular across the West Island, where 1980s and 1990s kitchens are frequently updated with open-concept layouts, new cabinetry, quartz countertops, and modern lighting. CCC manages the full scope under one contract — structural, electrical, plumbing, tile, and finishing — so you have a single point of accountability throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
How old are most West Island roofs?
The majority of West Island single-family homes were built between 1960 and 2000. Homes built in the 1970s and 1980s are now 45–55 years old and have typically seen one or two roof replacements already. Homes built in the 1990s are now entering the 25–35 year window where shingle replacement is expected. We see a steady stream of replacement projects in Beaconsfield, Kirkland, Pointe-Claire, and DDO driven by this aging housing stock.
What causes ice dams on West Island homes?
Ice dams are caused by heat escaping through an inadequately insulated attic, warming the roof deck and melting snow. The meltwater flows to the cold eaves and refreezes. West Island bungalows from the 1960s–1980s frequently have under-insulated attics. A new roof without fixing the insulation and ventilation issue will not eliminate ice dams. We evaluate both simultaneously during every roofing assessment.
Do you do basement finishing on West Island homes?
Yes — basement finishing is one of our most requested services in the West Island. The large unfinished basements in West Island bungalows and two-storey homes represent significant untapped living space. We handle full basement transformations from concrete to livable, code-compliant space: framing, insulation, electrical, drywall, flooring, bathroom additions, and finishing. All work is properly permitted through your municipality.
What shingle do you recommend for West Island homes?
For West Island single-family homes, we most commonly recommend IKO Dynasty or IKO Cambridge architectural shingles. IKO Dynasty offers wind resistance up to 220 km/h and Nordic Seal cold-climate sealing technology. Cambridge provides excellent value with Armourzone reinforcement and algae resistance. We evaluate your specific roof geometry, pitch, and exposure before making a final recommendation.
Do you serve all West Island municipalities?
Yes. We serve all West Island municipalities including Beaconsfield, Pointe-Claire, Kirkland, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Pierrefonds-Roxboro, Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Baie-D'Urfé, Senneville, and Dorval. Each municipality has its own building permit process — we research and manage permit applications as part of our service for all projects that require them.
