Toronto roofing guide

Climate and common roof problems

Toronto's cold winters, freeze-thaw cycles, snow, wind storms and humid summers cause ice dams, lifted shingles and flashing leaks.

Popular roofing materials

Asphalt shingles dominate detached and semi-detached homes; flat roofs (modified bitumen, TPO) are common on row houses and additions. Metal roofing is a growing upgrade.

Permits and local rules

The City of Toronto generally doesn't require a permit for like-for-like shingle replacement, but structural changes, flat roofs on some buildings and deck replacement may need one. Ask your roofer to confirm.

What affects roofing costs

Pricing depends on tear-off layers, pitch, plywood replacement and access on narrow lots. Spring and fall are peak seasons.

Tips for hiring a roofer in Toronto

Ask for ice-and-water shield along eaves and valleys.
Confirm WSIB coverage and liability insurance.
Get the shingle manufacturer's warranty registered.
