Roofing

Roofing the way builders do it.

We've shingled and re-shingled hundreds of Toronto homes. Drip edges, ice-and-water shield, ventilation balance — the things that determine whether your roof lasts 15 years or 40.

  • Asphalt shingles. IKO, GAF, Owens Corning. Standard or architectural. Manufacturer warranty preserved.
  • Drip edge & ice-and-water shield. Required by Ontario code in eaves and valleys — installed correctly.
  • Roof repairs. Spot repairs, leak diagnosis, flashing, vent boots — done right, no temporary patches.
  • Fascia, soffit, eavestrough. Aluminum, steel, PVC. Coordinated with new roof installs.
  • Ventilation balance. Proper soffit intake matched with ridge or roof vent exhaust.

In depth

Roof Replacement in Toronto: What a Proper Re-Roof Includes

Most Toronto roof leaks don't start in the middle of the shingles. They start at the details: step flashing where a roof meets a brick wall, the counter-flashing on an old chimney, rubber boots around plumbing stacks that crack in the sun, open valleys, and skylight curbs. In winter, ice dams along the eaves push meltwater back under the shingles, and the root cause is usually poor attic ventilation or thin insulation rather than the roof covering itself. A good roof repair finds the real source instead of smearing sealant over the symptom.

What goes into a full re-roof

  • Tear-off down to the roof deck, so rotten or delaminated sheathing can be found and replaced instead of being buried.
  • Ice and water membrane along the eaves, in valleys and around penetrations, with synthetic underlayment over the rest.
  • New drip edge and new flashing, rather than reusing tired metal from a roof that has already failed.
  • Balanced ventilation: clear soffit intake paired with ridge or roof vents, so the attic stays cold and dry.
  • Shingles fastened to the manufacturer's nailing pattern, then a full clean-up of nails and debris from the yard and eavestrough.

What moves the price: roof size and pitch, how many old layers come off, how much sheathing needs replacing, the number of chimneys, skylights and dormers, and access. On tight downtown streets a disposal bin may have to sit on the road, which can need a City permit, and steep Victorian and Edwardian roofs in the Annex or Cabbagetown need more safety setup than a low-slope bungalow in Scarborough or Etobicoke. Many older semis also have a low-slope rear addition that can't take shingles at all and needs a membrane system, which we flag in the quote.

The shortcuts to avoid are shingling over an existing layer, skipping the eave membrane, reusing chimney flashing and covering soffit vents during an aluminum capping job. Your roof edge and eavestrough work together, so we often plan a re-roof alongside fascia, soffit and eavestrough upgrades. For what to check before the snow arrives, see our winter home maintenance guide.

FAQ

Roofing — common questions

How long does a re-roof take?

1–2 days for an average single-family home (1,500–2,500 sq ft of roofing), assuming weather cooperates. Larger or more complex roofs run 2–4 days.

How do I know if I need a full re-roof?

If your shingles are curling, granules are washing into the eavestrough, you can see daylight from the attic, or you're past 18–20 years on a 25-year shingle — it's time. We'll inspect and tell you straight.

Cost range?

$8,000–$18,000 for an average home re-roof in Toronto with mid-grade architectural shingles. Larger homes or premium materials (designer shingles, metal) run higher.

How much does a new roof cost in Toronto?

An average single-family asphalt-shingle re-roof typically runs $8,000–$18,000 depending on size, pitch, layers to remove and materials. We quote a fixed price after inspecting the roof.

How do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement?

It comes down to the roof's age, the extent of the damage and whether leaks are isolated or widespread. We inspect, show you photos, and give you the honest option — a targeted repair when that's enough, a re-roof when it isn't.
