Yesterday's windstorm got us thinking about something most homeowners don't see until it's too late — what happens to a roof when the wind really starts to push.

A roof doesn't need to lose shingles to suffer damage. Strong gusts can lift shingle edges, weaken seals, loosen flashing, and create tiny openings where water can eventually find its way inside.

The challenge is that wind damage isn't always obvious from the driveway. What looks fine from the ground can sometimes tell a different story up close.

After a major storm, it's worth taking a quick look around your property. Check for shingles in the yard, pieces of flashing, excessive granules near downspouts, or anything that just doesn't seem right.

The good news? A well-built roof is designed to handle Northern BC weather. Proper installation, quality materials, and attention to detail make a huge difference when Mother Nature decides to test things.

Yesterday's storm was a good reminder that your roof works hard every single day — especially on the days we notice the weather.

A roof is only as good as the steps taken to build it.

Every member of our crew is trained on the complete roofing process from start to finish. Proper tear-off, deck preparation, underlayment installation, flashing details, shingling, and clean finishing all matter. In fact, underlayment and flashing are two of the most important parts of a roofing system because they provide critical protection against water intrusion and leaks. ([MBO Roofing][1])

The truth is, shortcuts rarely show up right away. They show up years later as leaks, damaged decking, mould, and expensive repairs.

That’s why we focus on doing every step the right way, every time. Whether it’s a small repair or a full roof replacement, the process stays the same. No rushing. No cutting corners. No “good enough.”

When you hire Michaud’s Comfort Contracting, you’re getting a crew that understands the details, respects the process, and takes pride in delivering a roof built to last.

Ever looked up at a roof and wondered what that strange little tower, spinning cap, or mushroom-shaped thing was? 🤔

Not all roof vents look the same!

Some of the more unusual vents you might spot include:

🌪️ Whirlybird Vents – These spinning vents use the wind to help pull hot, moist air out of the attic.

🍄 Mushroom Vents – Small, rounded vents often used for bathroom fans or attic ventilation.

🏰 Cupolas – Common on barns and some custom homes, these decorative structures can also help with ventilation.

🐢 Turtle Vents – Low-profile vents that sit close to the roof surface and help attic air escape.

🛖 Box Vents – Simple but effective vents that rely on natural airflow rather than moving parts.

While they all look different, they share the same goal: helping your roof and attic breathe properly. Good ventilation can reduce moisture buildup, improve energy efficiency, and help extend the life of your roofing system.

If you're not sure whether your roof has the right ventilation, we're always happy to take a look!

How Much Weight Does a New Roof Add?

It’s a question many homeowners never think about, but it matters more than you might expect.

A standard asphalt shingle roof typically adds about 200 to 350 pounds per roofing square (100 square feet). On an average home, that can mean several tons of material sitting above your head.

Now consider what happens when new shingles are installed over old ones instead of doing a full tear-off. That extra layer can add thousands more pounds to the structure while also making it harder to spot hidden problems underneath.

That's one reason we believe in doing things properly. Removing the old roofing allows us to inspect the roof deck, identify any damaged wood, and ensure the new roof starts with a solid foundation.

A roof isn't just about what you see from the street. It's a complete system, and every layer matters.

If you're considering a new roof and have questions about the condition of your current one, we're always happy to help.

🏠 On this day in 1958, the first Pizza Hut opened in Wichita, Kansas.

Most people remember the pizza.

As a roofer, I couldn't help noticing something else.

That little red roof became one of the most recognizable buildings in North America. Long before giant signs, websites, and social media, people knew exactly what was waiting inside because of the roof.

It's a good reminder that first impressions matter. Whether it's a restaurant serving pizza or your family home, the roof is often the first thing people notice.

Some roofs don't just keep the weather out. They become part of the identity of the building itself.

Every time you choose to shop local, hire local, or recommend a local business to a friend, you're investing right back into the place we all call home.

We know there are plenty of choices out there, and we're grateful every time someone trusts us with their project. Your support helps local families, local workers, and local businesses continue doing what they love.

Thank you for supporting small business. It truly makes a difference. ❤️

Did you know one of Canada's most famous roofs is right here in British Columbia?

BC Place is home to one of the largest cable-supported retractable roofs in the world. The current roof, completed in 2011, covers more than 750,000 square feet and can open or close depending on the weather.

The roof is supported by 36 cables anchored to a ring nearly 200 metres above the field. When fully open, it creates an opening of approximately 100 metres across, giving fans an outdoor experience while still offering protection when the West Coast weather rolls in.

While most roofs don't need to cover a stadium full of people, the principle is the same: a roof's job is to protect what's underneath it. Whether it's 50,000 fans at BC Place or your family at home, a quality roof matters.
