Find a Roof Repairer in North York

Your roof takes a beating here in North York. Freeze-thaw cycles every winter, heavy snow piling on roofs for months, ice dams when attic insulation fails. Roofs work hard.

Got a leak getting worse? Shingles flew off in the last storm? Water stains showing up on your ceiling? You need someone who actually knows what they're doing and shows up when they say they will. Not someone who disappears after the deposit or does garbage work you'll pay to fix again next year.

Post your roof repair job here and we'll connect you with local roofers in North York. You'll receive information from pros ready to help, so you can compare their approach and pick the right fit for your home.

What we see most around here:

Shingle damage from temperature extremes and heavy snow. High winds, temperature swings, UV exposure. It all adds up. Asphalt shingles typically last 15-25 years, but some roofs show wear earlier depending on the grade installed and how exposed your house is.

Ice dam damage Especially in older homes where warm attic air melts snow that refreezes at the eaves.

Shingle cracking From temperature swings between minus 20 and plus 30 degrees.

Attic condensation Creating mold and rotting the roof deck from underneath.

Flashing problems around chimneys, skylights, and vents. This is where most leaks start, not the shingles themselves. Good roofers check flashing first.

Ventilation issues causing premature aging. Your attic needs to breathe. Poor ventilation means trapped moisture, which means rotted decking, mold, and shingles that curl and crack way before they should.

Shingles here take a beating from temperature swings. Quality matters more than in mild climates.

What to ask when you get quotes

Don't just go with the cheapest number. Ask:

• What's included? Some quotes cover materials and labor. Others quote materials separately.


• How long will it take? Weather can throw things off, but you should get a realistic timeline.


• What about permits? Most Ontario cities require building permits for full roof replacements. Repairs under a certain size usually don't. Good contractors know the rules and handle permits as part of the job.


• Who's doing the work? Is this the owner's crew or subcontractors?


• What if you find damage? Get a plan for surprises before they start ripping things apart.


• What's the warranty? Both on materials and workmanship. Get it in writing.

Finding good roofers in North York

North York has a mix of housing types and roof styles. Different ages mean different problems. Older places might need full replacement. Newer ones might just have installation defects showing up.

Get someone who actually inspects your roof before quoting. Not someone who shows up and immediately says you need full replacement without even climbing up there.

Practical considerations for Ontario residents

Permits and regulations - Most Ontario cities require building permits for full roof replacements. Repairs under a certain size usually don't. Good contractors know the rules and handle permits as part of the job.

Insurance coverage - Ontario insurance typically covers sudden damage from storms or falling objects. You need to report and document damage quickly. Some policies have time limits for filing claims.

Building codes - Ontario Building Code sets standards for roof structure and ventilation. Contractors should follow current OBC requirements. Inspections happen on permitted work.

Best timing - May through October is prime time. Winter work happens but costs more and weather causes delays.

When you should call a roofer

Get your roof looked at if you're seeing:

• Water stains on ceilings or walls


• Missing or damaged shingles after storms


• Granules in gutters means your shingles are breaking down
  
  
  
  • Sagging roof deck structural issue that needs immediate attention
  
  


• Daylight through roof boards in your attic


• Ice dams forming at roof edges in winter


• Moss or algae growth especially common in wet climates

Small problems turn into big ones fast. Repairs that cost $500 now might mean a full replacement you weren't planning for next year.
