Residential Roofing

Residential Roofing Services — Every Material, Every Home, Done Right

Your home’s roof is the single most important protective system your property has. It shields your family, your belongings, and your investment from everything Ontario’s climate delivers — heavy snow, freeze-thaw cycles, summer thunderstorms, and decades of seasonal wear. When it needs attention, who you hire determines whether that protection lasts 5 years or 50.

United Roofers has been delivering professional residential roofing services across Ontario for over 20 years. We are GAF, IKO, and Owens Corning certified, carry 85 five-star Google reviews, and back every installation with a 15-year transferable workmanship warranty. Whether your home needs a shingle repair, a full replacement, or a premium upgrade to metal, slate, or tile — we install every residential roofing material and we do it right.

Signs Your Home Needs Residential Roofing Service

Many homeowners wait until a leak appears inside before calling a roofer. By that point, water has already been entering the structure — damaging insulation, decking, and potentially interior ceilings and walls. Catch these warning signs early:

Visual signs from the ground:

  • Shingles that are curling, cracking, or visibly missing sections
  • Dark streaks or moss growth on roof surfaces
  • Shingle granules collecting in your gutters or on the ground
  • Sagging sections anywhere along the roofline
  • Flashing that appears lifted or separated around chimneys and vents

Interior warning signs:

  • Water stains or discoloration on ceilings or walls
  • Daylight visible through the attic roof boards
  • A musty or damp smell in the attic — often the first sign of slow moisture intrusion
  • Rising energy bills suggesting poor attic insulation or ventilation

Age-based warning signs:

  • Asphalt shingle roofs 20+ years old are in the replacement window regardless of visible condition
  • Any roof with multiple previous patch repairs that keep returning

If you’re seeing more than one of these, schedule an inspection before the problem escalates. A professional assessment tells you whether you need a targeted repair, full replacement, or simply maintenance — and we’ll give you that answer honestly.


Repair vs Replacement — Helping You Decide

This is the question every homeowner faces when a roof problem appears. The answer depends on honest assessment, not on what earns a contractor more money.

Repair is the right choice when:

  • Damage is localized (one section, a few shingles, a single flashing failure)
  • The overall roof structure and decking is sound
  • The roof is under 15 years old with otherwise good condition
  • The repair cost is significantly less than 30% of replacement cost

Replacement is the right choice when:

  • The roof is 20+ years old with widespread wear
  • Multiple leaks have appeared in different locations
  • Granule loss is widespread and shingles are brittle
  • The decking shows moisture damage or rot that requires structural repair
  • You’re planning to sell — a new roof increases value and removes buyer objection

We give you the honest recommendation after a proper inspection. We use thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture in decking and insulation that visual inspection alone misses — so the diagnosis is accurate, not a guess.


Residential Roofing Materials We Install

Every home and homeowner is different. We install every major residential roofing material available — so your recommendation is based on your property, budget, and long-term goals, not on what we happen to carry.

1. Asphalt Shingles — Most Popular, Most Affordable

The most widely used residential roofing material in Ontario. Available in architectural (dimensional) and premium grades from IKO, GAF Timberline, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, and BP Mystique. Asphalt shingles deliver reliable protection, good curb appeal across a wide range of colours and profiles, and a 15–30 year lifespan when properly installed.

Best for: Homeowners who want proven durability at an accessible price point, with variety in appearance.

2. Metal Roofing — 50+ Years, Low Maintenance

Standing seam, metal shingles, and Blachotrapez panel systems that last 50+ years with virtually no maintenance. Metal sheds snow naturally (reducing ice-dam risk in Ontario winters), resists fire, reflects summer heat, and adds significant long-term property value. The higher upfront cost typically means the last roof a homeowner ever installs.

Best for: Long-term homeowners who want to eliminate the re-roofing cycle and invest in permanent protection.

3. Wood Roofing — Natural Beauty, Architectural Character

Cedar shake and wood shingle roofing delivers unmatched natural aesthetic — particularly on heritage, cottage, and character properties. Wood roofing requires proper ventilation and maintenance, but installed correctly it provides excellent insulation and a lifespan of 25–30 years.

Best for: Heritage homes, cottages, and property owners who prioritize natural materials and distinctive appearance.

4. Tile Roofing — Durable Elegance

Concrete and clay tile roofing is one of the longest-lasting residential materials available — 50+ years with proper installation. Tile’s distinctive profile complements Mediterranean, Spanish, and high-end architectural styles. It requires structural support assessment given its weight.

Best for: Premium architectural homes requiring distinctive profile with exceptional longevity.

5. Slate Roofing — The Premium Standard

Natural slate is the most durable residential roofing material available — properly installed slate roofs can last 75–150 years. It’s the premium choice for heritage properties and high-value homes where permanence and aesthetics are the priority. Slate installation requires certified expertise given its weight, fragility, and technical demands.

Best for: Heritage properties, premium estate homes, and owners committed to the finest possible roofing standard.

6. Flat & Membrane Roofing Systems

Modern homes with flat or low-slope sections — additions, garages, and contemporary designs — require membrane roofing rather than pitched shingle systems. We install TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing (BUR) — each suited to different applications, climates, and building types.

Best for: Home additions, garages, modern flat-roof designs, and any low-slope residential application.

7. Specialty Roofing Systems

For homeowners interested in integrated solar roofing, green roof systems, or other specialist applications — we assess, consult, and install specialty systems tailored to specific property and sustainability goals.

Best for: Homeowners with specific sustainability, energy efficiency, or architectural goals beyond standard residential roofing.


Our Residential Roofing Process — Step by Step

We believe homeowners deserve to know exactly what happens from the first call to the final warranty document. Here is our complete process:

Step 1 — Free Inspection & Estimate Call (905) 789-1335) to schedule your free residential roofing assessment. Our team visits your home, inspects the roof thoroughly — including thermal imaging where needed — and provides a detailed written estimate. No pressure, no obligation. You’ll know exactly what your roof needs and what it costs before making any decision.

Step 2 — Material Selection & Planning We walk you through the material options that suit your home, budget, and goals — with honest pros and cons for each. Once you’ve chosen, we confirm the project scope, timeline, and schedule. Any necessary permits are handled as part of our process.

Step 3 — Site Preparation & Start Our crew arrives on the scheduled day, protects your property (landscaping, vehicles, exterior fixtures), sets up safety equipment, and removes the existing roofing material for full tear-off jobs. We work methodically and respect your home throughout.

Step 4 — Installation Certified installation to manufacturer specifications — deck inspection and repair where needed, ice-and-water shield along eaves, quality underlayment, and your chosen roofing material installed with the precision that protects your warranty. Most residential jobs are completed within the estimated timeline, on schedule.

Step 5 — Cleanup & Final Walkthrough When installation is complete, we conduct a thorough cleanup — magnetic nail sweep, debris removal, and site inspection. Then we walk through the completed work with you, answer any questions, and confirm everything meets our standards and yours.

Step 6 — 15-Year Transferable Warranty You receive full written warranty documentation covering our workmanship for 15 years — transferable to future owners if you sell the property. Manufacturer material warranties are documented separately. We’re accountable to you for the full warranty period.


Why United Roofers for Your Home

20+ years of residential roofing experience across Ontario. We’ve installed and repaired roofs on every type of residential property — century heritage homes, post-war bungalows, 1990s suburban houses, modern builds, rural estates, and agricultural properties. That breadth of real experience means we’ve seen virtually every challenge a residential roof presents.

Certified by the manufacturers whose products we install. GAF, IKO, and Owens Corning certification means our crews are factory-trained to install these systems correctly — and that our customers qualify for those manufacturers’ strongest warranty programs.

Thermal imaging and drone measurement — precision you can verify. We measure roofs with drone and satellite technology for accurate estimates, and use thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden moisture in decking and insulation. These tools mean our diagnosis is based on data, not guesswork — and our repair or replacement recommendation reflects the actual condition of your roof.

15-year transferable workmanship warranty. Most residential roofers offer 10 years. We offer 15 — in writing, after every job, transferable to new owners if you sell. That gap reflects the confidence we have in our installation quality.

Flexible financing and payment plans. A residential roof replacement is a significant investment. We offer flexible financing so the right roof isn’t delayed by budget timing. Ask about current payment plan options when you call for your estimate.

85 five-star Google reviews — real homeowners, real results. Not claimed on a website — verified on Google. Read what Ontario homeowners say about our work, our communication, and our accountability.

Clean job sites, on-time completion. We respect your home. Crews protect your property, work on schedule, and leave the site cleaner than they found it. You shouldn’t know we were there except for the new roof above you.


What Your Residential Roofing Investment Includes

Every United Roofers residential installation includes:

  • Complete tear-off of existing material (full replacement jobs)
  • Full structural deck inspection — defects identified and addressed before new material goes on
  • Ice-and-water shield installation along eaves — essential for Ontario’s freeze-thaw climate
  • Premium underlayment
  • Certified installation to manufacturer specifications
  • Magnetic nail sweep and complete site cleanup
  • Written 15-year transferable workmanship warranty
  • Manufacturer material warranty documentation
  • Thermal imaging if moisture detection is indicated

Frequently Asked Questions — Residential Roofing

How long does a residential roof replacement take? Most standard residential shingle replacements are completed in one to two days. Larger or more complex homes, premium materials like slate or tile, or additional deck work may extend the timeline. We confirm the expected duration before work begins.

What is the best roofing material for Ontario’s climate? It depends on your priorities. Asphalt shingles offer reliable performance at an accessible price. Metal roofing handles Ontario’s snow and freeze-thaw climate exceptionally well and lasts 50+ years. Slate and tile are premium, long-life options. We recommend based on your specific home, climate exposure, and budget after a proper assessment.

Does my roof need full replacement or just repair? We assess this honestly after inspection — using thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture that changes the answer. Localized damage on a sound roof = repair. Widespread deterioration, multiple leaks, or a roof over 20 years = replacement is usually the smarter investment.

Is your workmanship warranty transferable? Yes. Our 15-year workmanship warranty transfers to new owners if you sell the property — a selling point that buyers and their agents notice.

Do you handle permits? Yes. Where municipal permits are required for your residential roofing project, we manage the permit process as part of our service.

How do I know if my attic ventilation is correct? We assess soffit and ridge vent balance as part of every residential inspection. Improper ventilation is the leading cause of premature shingle aging and ice-dam formation — and it’s something that gets corrected during replacement, not after.

Do you offer financing? Yes — flexible payment plans for residential roofing projects. Ask for details when you call for your free estimate.

What brands of shingles do you install? IKO, GAF Timberline, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, and BP Mystique among others — manufacturer-certified for all major brands we install.

Commercial Roofing

Commercial Roofing Services — Flat Roofs, Membranes & Industrial Systems

A failing commercial roof is not just a maintenance problem — it’s an operational risk. Water intrusion damages inventory, equipment, and interiors. Emergency repairs disrupt staff and tenants. Premature failure forces unplanned capital expenditure. When a commercial or industrial property needs roofing work, the contractor you choose determines how long the solution lasts and how much it costs you over the life of the building.

United Roofers has delivered certified commercial roofing services across Ontario for over 20 years — for offices, retail stores, warehouses, industrial facilities, and multi-unit buildings. We specialize in flat and low-slope membrane systems, commercial metal roofing, and the full spectrum of repair, replacement, and maintenance programs that property managers and business owners need. With 85 five-star Google reviews, GAF/IKO/Owens Corning certification, and a 15-year transferable workmanship warranty, we deliver the accountability commercial projects require.

📞 Call (905) 789-1335 for your free commercial roofing assessment.


Signs Your Commercial Roof Needs Attention

Commercial roofs fail gradually — and the cost of ignoring early signs is always higher than acting on them. Watch for:

Inside the building:

  • Water stains appearing on ceilings or walls — rarely directly under the entry point
  • Damp or musty smell from any occupied or storage area
  • Visible mould on interior walls near roof level
  • Rising energy bills — indicating failed insulation or membrane beneath the surface

On the roof surface:

  • Standing or pooling water more than 48 hours after rainfall (ponding)
  • Blistering, bubbling, or cracking on membrane surfaces
  • Visible seam separation or lifting at membrane joints
  • Damaged or missing flashing around HVAC units, vents, drains, or parapets
  • Visible corrosion or rust on metal components

Age-based warning signs:

  • TPO and EPDM systems over 20 years need professional assessment
  • Modified bitumen systems showing cracking or seam failure
  • Built-up roofing (BUR) systems with frequent ponding or drainage issues
  • Any system with multiple repairs that keep recurring

A thermal imaging inspection finds moisture trapped beneath the membrane that visual assessment misses — giving you an accurate picture of the roof’s actual condition before deciding on repair or replacement.


Commercial Roofing vs Residential — Why It’s Different

Business owners and property managers sometimes underestimate how different commercial roofing is from residential work. Key differences:

Flat and low-slope systems dominate. Most commercial buildings use flat or low-slope roofing — which means water doesn’t run off naturally. Proper drainage design, membrane integrity, and seam quality are critical in ways that don’t apply to a pitched residential roof.

Scale and access. Large commercial roofs require different equipment, crew sizing, and project management. An experienced commercial contractor plans access, phasing, and safety for large-footprint jobs.

Business continuity. A residential replacement disrupts a homeowner for one or two days. A commercial replacement on an occupied building needs to be phased, scheduled around operations, and managed to minimize tenant and staff impact.

Code compliance. Commercial roofing projects in Ontario must comply with the Ontario Building Code, local municipal requirements, and often insurance carrier specifications. A contractor unfamiliar with commercial compliance creates liability for the property owner.

System warranties. Major commercial roofing manufacturers issue system warranties — which require certified installation. Without certified installation, system warranties are void.

We handle all of it — certifiably, accountably, and with minimal disruption to your operations.


Commercial Roofing Systems We Install

We install every major commercial and industrial roofing system — so our recommendation is based on your building, not on what we happen to carry.

TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) — Energy-Efficient Standard

The most widely installed commercial membrane in Ontario today. White or light-coloured TPO reflects solar heat (“cool roof”), reducing summer cooling costs significantly. Heat-welded seams create a bond stronger than the membrane itself — providing superior leak resistance. Ideal for most commercial and industrial applications. Lifespan: 20–30 years with proper maintenance.

EPDM (Rubber Roofing) — Proven Longevity

A time-tested synthetic rubber membrane known for exceptional durability in Ontario’s freeze-thaw climate. EPDM remains flexible in sub-zero temperatures — resisting cracking and brittleness that affects other membranes. Available in black (heat absorption) or white (cool roof). Lifespans of 25–35 years are common with proper installation. Lifespan: 25–35 years.

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) — Industrial-Grade Resistance

The premium single-ply choice for restaurants, industrial facilities, and chemical processing environments. PVC is uniquely resistant to grease, oil, chemical exposure, and fire. Heat-welded seams provide the same bond strength as TPO. Higher initial cost, exceptional longevity in demanding applications. Lifespan: 20–30 years.

Modified Bitumen (Mod-Bit) — Multi-Layer Protection

An asphalt-based system reinforced with SBS or APP polymers — combining the waterproofing redundancy of multi-layer systems with modern flexibility and UV resistance. SBS modification gives rubber-like elasticity to handle thermal movement. APP provides rigid UV resistance. Torch-applied, cold-applied, and self-adhering installation options. Our certified technicians are trained in torch-down applications — ensuring proper fusion and site safety. Lifespan: 20–30 years.

Built-Up Roofing (BUR) — Traditional Multi-Ply System

The original “tar and gravel” commercial system — multiple alternating layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabric topped with aggregate. BUR’s redundancy provides exceptional waterproofing and impact resistance. Still the right choice for certain industrial applications and retrofit situations. Lifespan: 20–40 years depending on number of plies.

Commercial Metal Roofing — Maximum Lifespan

For commercial buildings with any pitch — warehouses, manufacturing facilities, agricultural-commercial structures — commercial-grade standing seam metal roofing delivers the lowest lifecycle cost available. Interlocked panels resist wind uplift, shed snow, and eliminate the membrane replacement cycles of flat systems. Lifespan: 40–70+ years.


Commercial Flat Roof Repair — Stopping Leaks Permanently

Commercial roof leak repair requires finding where water actually entered — not just where it appears inside. These are rarely the same location. Water travels under membranes and through insulation before appearing on an interior ceiling, often metres from the true breach.

We use thermal imaging to locate the actual entry point — mapping moisture distribution beneath the membrane surface. This precision means the repair addresses the real problem, not a guess.

Common commercial flat roof repairs we handle:

  • Ponding water correction — drainage improvement, tapered insulation, and structural corrections to eliminate standing water that degrades membrane life
  • Membrane patching and seam repair — manufacturer-specific techniques (heat welding for TPO/PVC, chemical adhesion for EPDM) for permanent watertight repairs
  • Flashing replacement — around HVAC units, vents, drains, skylights, and parapet walls — the most common source of commercial roof leaks
  • Blister and bubble repair — removing trapped moisture from beneath the membrane and restoring integrity
  • Roof coating and restoration — fluid-applied silicone or acrylic coatings that extend a structurally sound roof’s life by 10–15 years without full replacement
  • Drain and scupper clearing — ensuring drainage systems function correctly under all weather conditions

Our Commercial Roofing Process

Step 1 — Free Roof Assessment: We schedule a professional assessment at your convenience — during business hours or after, to minimize disruption. Our team inspects the full roof, including thermal imaging where moisture detection is indicated. You receive an honest assessment of the current system’s condition.

Step 2 — Detailed Written Proposal: We provide a clear written scope covering system options, materials, timeline, staging plan, and pricing. For complex projects, we include a phasing plan that maintains access to critical building areas. No ambiguity, no surprises.

Step 3 — Permits and Scheduling: We manage required permits and coordinate the project schedule around your operational needs. After-hours and weekend work is available where continuity matters.

Step 4 — Certified Installation: Our crews install to manufacturer specifications — the requirement for system warranty coverage. Site safety, property protection, and daily cleanup are standard practice, not optional extras.

Step 5 — Final Inspection and Warranty: We conduct a final walkthrough with you, confirm drainage and system integrity, and deliver full warranty documentation — covering our 15-year workmanship warranty and manufacturer system warranty documentation. Both in writing.


Proactive Maintenance — The Cheapest Commercial Roofing Service

<cite index=”28-1″>When a commercial roofing system is neglected, the secondary costs associated with interior damage, equipment loss, and business interruption can far exceed the price of a proactive maintenance plan.</cite> We offer customized maintenance programs for commercial property owners across Ontario:

  • Bi-annual inspections — spring and fall, with written reports and photographic documentation
  • Post-storm assessments — following severe weather events that may cause hidden damage
  • Drainage system maintenance — clearing drains, gutters, and scuppers before blockages cause ponding
  • Seam and flashing checks — identifying separation before water enters
  • Detailed condition reporting — giving property managers the documentation they need for capital planning and insurance purposes

A maintenance program typically costs a fraction of a single emergency repair — and extends roof life significantly beyond its nominal warranty period.


24/7 Emergency Commercial Roof Repair

When a commercial roof fails suddenly — storm damage, sudden membrane failure, drainage emergency — every hour of water exposure multiplies the interior damage cost. United Roofers provides 24/7 emergency commercial roofing response across all Ontario service areas.

We stabilize the situation immediately — professional tarping, emergency drainage clearing, and temporary membrane sealing — then assess and plan the permanent repair. Full photo documentation is provided for insurance claims. We work directly with your insurance adjuster when storm or weather-event damage is involved.

📞 Emergency line: (905) 789-1335 — available 24 hours.


Why Commercial Property Owners Choose United Roofers

20+ years of commercial roofing experience across Ontario. We’ve worked on offices, retail centres, warehouses, industrial buildings, agricultural-commercial structures, and multi-unit residential. That range of real experience means we’ve seen and solved virtually every commercial roofing challenge.

Certified installation — protecting your system warranty. GAF, IKO, and Owens Corning certification means our installations qualify for manufacturer system warranties. Without certified installation, system warranties are void — a risk that costs property owners significantly when problems arise.

Thermal imaging and drone measurement. We use thermal cameras to detect moisture beneath membrane surfaces and satellite measurement for accurate project scoping. Precision tools mean accurate diagnosis and honest quotes — not estimates padded for uncertainty.

15-year transferable workmanship warranty. Every commercial installation is backed by 15 years of workmanship coverage — transferable if the property changes ownership. That’s accountability that outlasts most commercial leases.

Minimal disruption to your operations. We plan projects around your schedule — phased installation, after-hours work, clear daily communication, and job sites that don’t interfere with your business. Your operations continue.

85 five-star Google reviews. Not claimed — verified. Real property managers and business owners across Ontario have documented their experience. Read them before you call.

Full insurance and WSIB coverage. We carry full liability insurance and WSIB coverage on every commercial job site. Non-negotiable for responsible commercial property management.


Frequently Asked Questions — Commercial Roofing

How often should a commercial roof be inspected? Twice per year — spring and fall — plus immediately after any significant storm event. Regular inspections catch small problems before they become expensive emergencies and are often required to maintain manufacturer warranty validity.

How do I know if I need repair or full replacement? A thermal imaging inspection gives an accurate answer. Localized damage on a membrane with overall sound integrity = repair. Widespread moisture under the membrane, failing seams across large areas, or a system past its service life = replacement is the more cost-effective decision. We give you the honest answer after assessment.

How long does a commercial roof replacement take? Depends on roof size, system type, and phasing requirements. A standard commercial job is scoped and scheduled clearly before work begins. We commit to timelines and manage to them.

Will work disrupt my business or tenants? We plan specifically to minimize disruption — phasing, after-hours scheduling, and clear communication throughout. Most tenants and staff notice very little during a professionally managed commercial project.

Do you handle the permit process? Yes. Where municipal permits are required for commercial roofing projects in Ontario, we manage the permit process as part of the service.

What does your 15-year workmanship warranty cover? Defects in our installation workmanship for 15 years — transferable to new owners. Manufacturer system warranties are separate and documented at project completion. Both provided in writing.

Do you work on industrial and warehouse buildings? Yes — flat, low-slope, and pitched commercial metal roofing on industrial facilities of all sizes, including large-footprint warehouses and manufacturing buildings.

Can you help with insurance claims for storm-damaged commercial roofs? Yes. We document damage thoroughly — photos, thermal imaging reports, written assessments — and work directly with your insurance adjuster.

Roof Inspection & Maintenance

Roof Inspection & Maintenance — Know Exactly Where Your Roof Stands

Most roof problems don’t announce themselves. They develop quietly — a slow leak tracking through insulation, granules shedding season by season, flashing separating millimetre by millimetre — until the day water appears on your ceiling and the problem is already expensive. A professional roof inspection from United Roofers tells you the truth about your roof before that day arrives.

We provide certified roof inspections for homeowners and commercial property owners across Ontario — combining visual assessment, thermal imaging technology, and 20+ years of local experience to deliver an honest, documented picture of your roof’s actual condition. Whether you need a pre-purchase inspection, a seasonal check, post-storm assessment, or a custom maintenance plan, we’re equipped to help.

Our initial site visit and estimate is always free. The detailed inspection report — thermal imaging data, photos, written findings, lifespan estimate, and repair recommendations — is a professional paid service that gives you the documented accuracy to make real decisions.

📞 Call (905) 789-1335 to book your free site visit.


Why a Professional Roof Inspection Matters in Ontario

Ontario’s climate is one of the most demanding roofing environments in the world. Heavy snow loads through winter, aggressive freeze-thaw cycling from November to March, summer hailstorms, wind events, and high humidity all work on your roof simultaneously — often in ways that aren’t visible until the damage is already done.

The cost of skipping inspections:

  • A slow leak undetected for 12 months can saturate insulation, rot decking, and damage interior ceilings — turning a $400 flashing repair into a $4,000+ interior remediation job
  • A roof approaching end of life without inspection becomes an emergency replacement instead of a planned one — typically costing 20-30% more under pressure
  • Manufacturer warranties on roofing materials often require documented maintenance to remain valid — an uninspected roof may have voided coverage you don’t know about

The value of catching problems early:

  • Small flashing repairs cost a fraction of the leak damage they prevent
  • Ventilation corrections caught early prevent the ice-dam cycles that destroy shingles and attic insulation over winter
  • Documented inspection reports support insurance claims and real estate transactions

A professional inspection with United Roofers pays for itself in the first problem it catches.


Free Site Visit vs Paid Inspection — What’s the Difference?

We’re transparent about how our service works:

Free Initial Site Visit

When you call us, we schedule a no-obligation site visit at your convenience. During this visit, we assess the general condition of your roof, answer your questions, and give you an honest overview of what we’re seeing. This is entirely free — no pressure, no invoice.

If you need a quote for repair or replacement, we provide that in writing at no charge.

Professional Roof Inspection Report (Paid)

When you need documented, detailed findings — for a real estate transaction, an insurance claim, a maintenance decision, or simply peace of mind with full accuracy — our professional inspection goes significantly deeper:

  • Thermal imaging scan — detecting trapped moisture, wet insulation, and hidden entry points that visual inspection cannot find
  • Drone-assisted measurement — accurate mapping of roof area, slope, and condition across the full surface
  • Written condition report — every finding documented clearly with explanations
  • Photo documentation — visual record of every issue found, referenced in the written report
  • Remaining lifespan estimate — honest assessment of how many years the current roof has under normal conditions
  • Repair recommendations with priority ranking — what needs attention now vs what can wait 2–3 years
  • Free follow-up quote — if repair or replacement is recommended, the quote is provided at no additional charge

This is the inspection that matters when you’re buying or selling property, managing a maintenance program, or making a capital planning decision on a commercial building.


What Our Roof Inspection Covers

Every United Roofers inspection follows a complete, methodical process — inside and out:

Roofing Material Condition We assess the full surface of your shingles, membrane, or metal panels — checking for granule loss, cracking, blistering, curling, lifting, missing sections, and end-of-life wear patterns. Different materials fail differently, and we know what to look for in each system.

Flashing Integrity Flashing is the leading source of roof leaks — at chimneys, skylights, vents, dormers, wall joints, and penetrations. We inspect every flashing point for separation, corrosion, sealant failure, and gaps that allow water entry.

Thermal Imaging — Finding What Eyes Miss Water enters at one point and travels before it drips. It saturates insulation and tracks along decking, appearing inside far from its true origin. Our thermal imaging cameras detect the temperature differentials created by trapped moisture and wet insulation — mapping the actual entry point and the extent of existing moisture damage. This precision changes what repair looks like: instead of patching symptoms, you fix the actual problem.

Roof Structure and Decking We check for soft spots, sagging, and signs of moisture intrusion in the structural deck — especially critical on older properties where original board sheathing may have absorbed years of slow moisture. A structurally compromised deck changes the recommendation from repair to replacement.

Attic Ventilation Proper airflow between soffit and ridge vents determines ice-dam risk in winter and moisture accumulation in summer. We assess intake and exhaust balance — because inadequate ventilation is the leading cause of premature shingle aging and the ice-dam formations that cause significant eave damage across Ontario’s winters.

Drainage System Gutters, downspouts, and surface drainage flow all affect how water leaves your roof. Blocked or undersized eavestroughs contribute to fascia rot, foundation moisture, and roof-edge ice formation. We check the full drainage path and flag issues.

Seals and Penetrations Every point where pipes, vents, skylights, or equipment penetrate the roof surface is a potential entry point. We inspect all seals and rubber pipe boots for cracking and deterioration — a common failure point on roofs approaching 15+ years.


When You Need a Roof Inspection

Before Buying or Selling a Property

A roof inspection before a real estate transaction gives buyers documented, independent confirmation of the roof’s condition and remaining lifespan — before committing to a purchase. For sellers, a clean inspection report removes buyer objection and supports the asking price. Our written report with photos is accepted by real estate professionals throughout Ontario.

After a Storm

Storm and hail damage is often invisible from the ground until it causes a leak weeks or months later. After any significant weather event — high winds, hail, ice storms — a professional inspection documents actual damage while it’s fresh, which is essential for insurance claims.

Before Winter

Ontario’s freeze-thaw winters demand that your roof enter the season with solid flashing seals, functioning drainage, and adequate attic ventilation. A pre-winter inspection identifies vulnerabilities while they’re still inexpensive to correct.

For Annual Maintenance

Many property owners — particularly those with commercial buildings and older residential properties — schedule annual inspections as standard maintenance. The cost is consistently lower than the smallest emergency repair it prevents.

At the 15-20 Year Mark

Most asphalt shingle roofs in Ontario approach end of life between 15 and 25 years. An inspection at the 15-year mark gives you accurate information on remaining life — the difference between budgeting for replacement next year vs having 7 more years before action is needed.

For Insurance Claims

When a roof event occurs, insurance adjusters need documented evidence. Our inspection reports — written findings, thermal imaging data, and photo documentation — provide the professional documentation that supports your claim and prevents disputes over damage scope.


Roof Maintenance Programs — Custom Per Property

A one-time inspection tells you where your roof stands today. A maintenance program keeps it performing for its full lifespan.

United Roofers builds custom maintenance plans tailored to each property — based on roof age, material type, building use, and inspection findings. A maintenance program typically includes:

Scheduled inspections — annual or bi-annual visits with written reports documenting condition changes over time, giving property managers and owners a clear record of asset performance

Drainage maintenance — clearing gutters, downspouts, and scuppers before blockages cause ponding or ice-dam conditions

Flashing and seal checks — identifying and sealing early-stage separation before water finds the gap

Post-storm response — priority visits after significant weather events to assess and document damage

Priority scheduling for repairs — maintenance plan clients receive priority booking for any repair work identified during inspections

Custom maintenance programs are available for both residential and commercial properties. For commercial property managers overseeing multiple buildings, we develop portfolio-level programs with consolidated reporting.

📞 Call (905) 789-1335 to discuss a custom maintenance plan.


Residential vs Commercial Roof Inspection — Key Differences

We inspect both residential and commercial properties — and the approach differs:

Residential inspections focus on shingle or metal condition, attic ventilation, flashing integrity at common residential penetrations (chimneys, skylights, vents), and drainage through residential eavestrough systems. Most residential inspections are completed within one to two hours.

Commercial inspections require additional scope — large flat or low-slope membrane systems need systematic thermal imaging coverage across the full roof area to locate infiltration points. Drainage design, HVAC penetration sealing, and parapet wall condition all require specific attention. Commercial inspection timelines depend on building size and system type.

Both residential and commercial inspection reports include the same deliverables: written findings, photo documentation, thermal imaging data where applicable, lifespan assessment, and prioritized recommendations.


Our Inspection Process — Step by Step

Step 1 — Free site visit Call (905) 789-1335) to schedule. We visit your property, conduct an initial assessment, and answer your questions. No charge, no obligation.

Step 2 — Scope confirmation We confirm whether a detailed paid inspection is appropriate for your needs — pre-purchase, insurance, maintenance planning, or post-storm. We explain exactly what the report will include.

Step 3 — Full inspection with thermal imaging Our certified inspector conducts the complete assessment — thermal imaging, drone measurement, and physical inspection of all components. Typically 1–2 hours for residential; longer for commercial depending on size.

Step 4 — Written report delivery You receive the complete inspection report — written findings, photos, thermal imaging data, lifespan estimate, and prioritized repair recommendations. Any follow-up repair quote is provided free of charge with the report.

Step 5 — Questions answered We walk through the report with you, answer every question, and give honest advice on what needs attention and what can wait. No pressure to proceed with any repair.

Frequently Asked Questions — Roof Inspection & Maintenance

Is your initial site visit really free? Yes — completely free, no obligation. We visit, assess the general condition, answer your questions, and give you an honest overview. The detailed paid inspection report is a separate service for when you need documented findings.

What does the paid inspection report include? Written condition report, photo documentation of every issue found, thermal imaging data, remaining lifespan estimate, and prioritized repair recommendations. If any repair or replacement is needed, the follow-up quote is provided free.

How long does a roof inspection take? Most residential inspections take 1–2 hours. Commercial properties vary by roof size and system type. We confirm the expected time when scheduling.

How often should I have my roof inspected? Annually is ideal for older roofs and commercial properties. Every 2–3 years is appropriate for newer residential roofs in good condition. Always inspect after a significant storm event.

Can the inspection report be used for a real estate transaction? Yes. Our written reports with photos and thermal imaging findings are accepted by real estate professionals, lawyers, and insurance carriers throughout Ontario.

Do you inspect commercial buildings? Yes — flat and low-slope membrane systems (TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, BUR), commercial metal systems, and all associated penetrations, drainage, and flashing. We service commercial properties of all sizes.

What is thermal imaging and why does it matter? Thermal cameras detect temperature differences caused by trapped moisture and wet insulation beneath the roof surface — revealing entry points and existing moisture damage that no visual inspection can find. It’s the most accurate leak-source diagnostic available.

What is included in a custom maintenance plan? Every plan is built to the property — scheduled inspections, drainage maintenance, flashing checks, post-storm visits, and priority repair scheduling. We discuss your property’s specific needs and build a plan accordingly.

Can you inspect a roof I didn’t install? Yes. We inspect roofs regardless of who installed them or when. Our assessment is independent and honest.

Metal Roofing

Metal Roofing Ontario — The Last Roof You’ll Ever Install

There comes a point where most Ontario homeowners and property owners stop replacing roofs and start making a permanent decision. That decision is metal roofing — and United Roofers has been installing it across Ontario for over 20 years. With a properly installed metal system, the re-roofing cycle ends. No 15-year shingle countdown. No granule monitoring. No emergency replacement after the next major storm. Just a roof that performs for 50, 60, and often 70+ years on the building beneath it.

We install every major metal roofing style and material — standing seam, metal shingles, Blachotrapez panels, corrugated systems, metal tiles — in steel, aluminum, copper, and zinc — for residential homes, agricultural buildings, and commercial properties across all 15 of our Ontario service areas. As GAF, IKO, and Owens Corning certified installers, we back every metal installation with a 15-year transferable workmanship warranty and full manufacturer material documentation.

📞 Call (905) 789-1335 for your free metal roofing estimate.


Is Metal Roofing Right for You? — Honest Assessment First

Metal roofing is the right choice for many Ontario properties — but not automatically for every situation. Here is an honest overview to help you decide before you call:

Metal roofing is the smart choice when:

  • You plan to stay in the property long-term (10+ years minimum to realize the lifetime value)
  • You want to eliminate the re-roofing cycle permanently
  • Your property is in an area with heavy snow, high winds, or extreme freeze-thaw cycling
  • You want the energy efficiency benefits of a reflective roof system
  • You’re buying a rural, agricultural, or commercial property where durability and low maintenance are priorities
  • You’re upgrading a heritage or premium home where the roof is a visible architectural element
  • You want a transferable asset — a metal roof adds documented value to a property at resale

Asphalt shingles may still be right when:

  • Budget for the upfront investment isn’t currently available (metal costs more initially)
  • You’re planning to sell within 5 years and the ROI timeline doesn’t work
  • The property has structural limitations that need to be addressed before a premium system is installed

We give you this honest picture before the estimate — because the right recommendation depends on your situation, not on which product we prefer to install.


Why Metal Roofing Performs in Ontario’s Climate

Ontario’s climate is one of the most demanding roofing environments anywhere. Heavy snow accumulation through winter, aggressive freeze-thaw cycling from November to April, summer thunderstorms with hail, high winds, and UV exposure across all seasons — this is what a roof in Ontario deals with every year for decades.

Metal handles Ontario’s climate better than any other material:

Snow shedding. Metal’s smooth, low-friction surface sheds snow naturally instead of holding it — reducing the cumulative snow load that stresses roof structures and creates ice-dam conditions along eaves. This is particularly significant on Ontario properties that receive 150–300+ cm of snowfall annually.

Freeze-thaw resistance. The freeze-thaw cycling that cracks asphalt shingles, pries at flashing seals, and forces open shingle joints has minimal effect on a properly installed metal system. Metal expands and contracts with temperature changes without cracking, blistering, or losing material.

Wind resistance. Standing seam and interlocking panel systems are engineered to resist wind uplift forces that strip asphalt shingles. In Ontario’s storm-prone areas — particularly around the Great Lakes and across open rural terrain — metal’s superior fastening systems keep the roof intact where shingles fail.

Hail impact resistance. Quality metal roofing systems are rated for impact resistance at levels that far exceed standard asphalt shingles. A hailstorm that sends shingles to your gutters and triggers a replacement call with your insurance company may leave your metal roof completely unmarked.

Fire resistance. Metal is non-combustible — a significant safety advantage for properties near forested areas and agricultural land throughout Ontario.


Metal Roofing Styles We Install

Every property is different. We install every major metal roofing profile so the recommendation fits your building and your goals.

Standing Seam Metal Roofing

The premium residential and commercial metal roofing standard. Vertical panels run the full length of the roof with raised seams that interlock — concealing all fasteners beneath the surface. No exposed fastener points means no fastener-related leaks, ever. Clean, modern aesthetic that complements both contemporary and heritage architecture. The benchmark for long-term performance.

Best for: Residential homes, commercial buildings, premium agricultural structures where aesthetics and absolute weather resistance are priorities.

Blachotrapez Metal Panels

Our featured panel brand — European-engineered steel panels with proven performance in harsh northern climates. Available in a wide range of profiles, colours, and coatings. Excellent snow-shedding geometry, durable factory-applied finish, and installation efficiency make Blachotrapez panels a leading choice across our Ontario service areas.

Best for: Residential homes, rural properties, agricultural buildings, and commercial structures where value, performance, and appearance all matter.

Metal Shingles

Metal fabricated to replicate the appearance of traditional asphalt shingles, cedar shake, or slate — delivering the visual character of conventional roofing with the performance of metal. Interlocking installation provides wind resistance and waterproofing without the visual profile of standing seam. For homeowners who want metal durability without changing their home’s architectural character.

Best for: Residential properties where the existing aesthetic should be preserved while upgrading to metal performance.

Metal Tiles

Designed to replicate the appearance of traditional clay or concrete tile roofing — but at a fraction of the weight, without the structural loading concerns of genuine tile, and with significantly better cold-weather performance. Metal tile profiles suit Mediterranean, Spanish, and premium residential architectural styles.

Best for: Premium homes where the tile aesthetic is desired without the weight or cold-climate limitations of genuine tile.

Corrugated Metal Panels

The durable, cost-effective standard for agricultural buildings, sheds, barns, equestrian facilities, and rural commercial structures. Corrugated profiles provide structural rigidity, efficient drainage, and long-term performance in demanding working-building environments.

Best for: Agricultural buildings, rural outbuildings, commercial storage, and any working-building application where performance at value is the priority.


Metal Roofing Materials — What We Install

The metal you choose affects performance, longevity, appearance, and cost. We install all major metal roofing materials:

Steel (Galvanized and Galvalume)

The most widely used metal roofing material in Ontario — strong, widely available, and available with two primary protective coatings. Galvanized steel uses zinc coating for corrosion protection — the proven standard for decades. Galvalume steel adds aluminum to the zinc coating, providing enhanced corrosion resistance and better performance in coastal or high-humidity environments. Most Blachotrapez and standing seam systems are Galvalume-based.

Aluminum

Lightweight and naturally corrosion-resistant without requiring a protective coating. Aluminum doesn’t rust — an advantage in Ontario’s moisture-heavy climate and particularly in areas near the Great Lakes. Slightly softer than steel, making it marginally more susceptible to impact denting, but exceptional in longevity and corrosion performance.

Copper

The premium heritage choice — used on significant buildings for thousands of years. Copper develops its distinctive green patina over decades, requires no maintenance, and routinely achieves 100+ year lifespans when properly installed. The highest upfront cost of any metal roofing material, with unmatched longevity and aesthetic character.

Best for: Heritage properties, significant architectural buildings, and owners committed to the finest available roofing material.

Zinc

Another premium architectural metal — self-healing in the sense that minor surface scratches and abrasions are sealed by the patination process. Zinc develops a distinctive matte grey patina over time. Used extensively in European architecture and increasingly on premium Canadian properties where longevity and distinctive appearance are the priority.

Best for: Architectural and heritage properties seeking a distinctive, premium appearance with exceptional longevity.


Addressing the Most Common Metal Roofing Concerns

“Won’t a metal roof be loud in the rain?”

This is the most common concern — and the answer depends entirely on installation. A metal roof installed directly over open framing with no underlayment or insulation (like an old barn) is loud. A properly installed residential metal roof — with quality underlayment, insulation, and solid sheathing beneath — is no louder than an asphalt shingle roof in rain. We install all metal roofing systems with appropriate underlayment and insulation, eliminating the noise concern entirely.

“Will a metal roof get struck by lightning?”

Metal does not attract lightning. Lightning strikes the highest point in an area regardless of roofing material. Metal roofing is actually safer than other materials in a lightning event because it disperses electrical charge and is non-combustible — unlike wood shake, which presents a fire risk on a direct strike.

“Will it dent in a hailstorm?”

Premium steel and aluminum roofing systems are rated for impact resistance. Thicker gauge panels and higher-quality metals resist denting significantly better than entry-level products. We specify materials appropriate for Ontario’s hail exposure — and can discuss impact resistance ratings for specific products when you call.

“Is metal roofing heavier than shingles?”

No — the opposite. Most metal roofing systems are significantly lighter than asphalt shingles. A standard asphalt shingle roof weighs approximately 2-4 lbs per square foot. Metal roofing typically weighs 0.5-1.5 lbs per square foot — making metal an excellent option even for structures where weight is a consideration.

“What about the cost?”

Metal roofing costs more upfront than asphalt shingles — typically 2-3 times more depending on material and profile. Over a 50-year horizon, the comparison changes completely: one metal roof vs three or four asphalt shingle replacements. For long-term owners, metal is typically cheaper per year of protection than any alternative. We provide a full lifecycle cost comparison at your free estimate.


Our Metal Roofing Process — Step by Step

Step 1 — Free estimate and consultation Call (905) 789-1335) to schedule. We assess your property, discuss your goals and budget, and present the metal roofing options that suit your building. No obligation — just an honest conversation and a written estimate.

Step 2 — Material and profile selection We walk through style options (standing seam, panels, shingles, tiles), materials (steel, aluminum, copper, zinc), colours, and finishes. We help you match the system to your property’s architecture and your long-term goals.

Step 3 — Site preparation Our crew arrives on schedule, protects your property, removes the existing roofing material, and inspects the structural deck. Any deck defects are identified and addressed before new material is installed.

Step 4 — Underlayment and insulation Quality underlayment and appropriate insulation are installed before any metal panels go on — providing the thermal barrier and noise reduction that make a metal roof perform properly in a residential or commercial setting.

Step 5 — Certified metal roofing installation Our certified crews install to manufacturer specifications — precise measurement, correct fastening methods for the chosen system (concealed for standing seam, appropriate for panels and shingles), and flashing at every penetration and transition point.

Step 6 — Final inspection, cleanup, and warranty We conduct a complete final inspection, perform thorough site cleanup, and deliver your 15-year transferable workmanship warranty documentation alongside the manufacturer material warranty. You receive both in writing.


Metal Roofing for Residential, Agricultural, and Commercial Properties

Residential homes across Ontario benefit most from standing seam, Blachotrapez panels, and metal shingle systems — delivering premium performance with aesthetic options that suit heritage homes, suburban family houses, modern builds, and lakefront properties alike.

Agricultural buildings and rural properties — barns, equestrian facilities, equipment storage, and outbuildings — are the natural home of corrugated and panel systems. Metal is the established standard for rural Ontario construction because nothing else delivers the durability and low maintenance these buildings require.

Commercial properties including warehouses, retail buildings, and mixed-use structures benefit from commercial metal roofing’s exceptional lifespan, minimal maintenance, and wind resistance on large-footprint roofs where membrane systems require periodic replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions — Metal Roofing

How long does a metal roof last in Ontario? Most steel and aluminum systems last 40–70+ years with proper installation and minimal maintenance. Copper and zinc systems routinely exceed 100 years. Compared to the 15–25 year lifespan of asphalt shingles, metal is a fundamentally different investment decision.

Is metal roofing good in heavy snow? Excellent. Metal’s smooth surface sheds snow naturally, reducing load accumulation and ice-dam formation at eaves. For Ontario properties receiving heavy annual snowfall, metal is often the superior choice specifically because of this characteristic.

Can metal roofing be installed over existing shingles? In some cases yes — if the existing deck is structurally sound and local building code permits. We assess the existing structure before recommending this approach. Full tear-off with deck inspection is always our first recommendation for a permanent system.

Does metal roofing affect home insurance? Many Ontario insurance providers recognize metal roofing’s fire resistance and impact resistance with lower premiums. Check with your carrier — the savings can meaningfully offset the upfront cost difference.

Do you install metal roofing on commercial buildings? Yes — commercial metal roofing on warehouses, retail properties, agricultural-commercial structures, and mixed-use buildings throughout our Ontario service areas.

Is the workmanship warranty transferable? Yes — our 15-year workmanship warranty transfers to new owners if the property is sold. This is a documented selling point that buyers and real estate professionals recognize.

How do I choose between standing seam and Blachotrapez panels? Standing seam offers concealed fasteners and a cleaner aesthetic — ideal for premium residential and commercial applications. Blachotrapez panels offer excellent performance with efficient installation — ideal for residential homes, agricultural buildings, and projects where value and performance are both priorities. We discuss both at your free estimate.

What Happens When You Call United Roofers

The 5-Step Emergency Response

Step 1 — You call, we answer. Immediately. (905) 789-1335 — day, night, weekend, holiday. A real person answers, not a voicemail or an answering service. We gather your address, property type, and situation details and mobilize our team.

Step 2 — Fast dispatch to your location. From our Brampton and Cambridge offices, we serve all 15 Ontario locations. We plan the fastest route to your property and arrive with the equipment needed for your specific emergency — tarping materials for wind damage, drainage equipment for flat roof flooding, thermal cameras for leak detection.

Step 3 — Thermal imaging assessment on arrival. We don’t climb up and guess. Before touching the roof, our thermal imaging cameras scan for moisture distribution — finding exactly where water entered and how far it has travelled inside. In Ontario’s older housing stock, water frequently enters at one point and travels metres before appearing inside. Thermal imaging finds the real source on the first visit.

Step 4 — Immediate stabilization. Professional tarping, temporary sealing, and emergency drainage measures stop further water entry immediately. We don’t leave until the situation is controlled — your property is protected from additional damage while permanent repair is arranged.

Step 5 — Permanent certified repair + insurance documentation. Once the property is stabilized, we complete a lasting certified repair using manufacturer-approved materials. Full photo documentation, thermal imaging reports, and written condition assessment are provided — everything your insurance adjuster needs to process your claim.


Emergency Roof Repair Scenarios We Handle

Storm and Wind Damage

Ontario’s storm seasons — summer thunderstorms, autumn wind events, and winter ice storms — regularly cause sudden shingle loss, flashing failure, and structural impact on residential and commercial roofs. Missing shingles expose the decking to water infiltration within hours of the damage. We respond to wind damage emergencies across all our Ontario service areas, assess the full extent of storm damage, and repair it completely — not just the obvious section.

What we do:

  • Emergency tarping of exposed sections to stop immediate water entry
  • Full thermal imaging assessment to detect any moisture already infiltrating
  • Permanent shingle, flashing, or membrane repair
  • Written storm damage report for insurance claim support

Roof Leak Emergencies

A sudden interior drip during rain is almost never coming from directly above the water stain — it’s entering somewhere else and travelling. Roof leak emergencies require finding the true source, not patching the visible symptom. Our thermal imaging makes this precise.

Common leak emergency causes we repair:

  • Flashing failure at chimneys, skylights, vents, and wall joints
  • Lifted or missing shingles allowing direct water entry
  • Valley failure concentrating water flow at a joint
  • Pipe boot deterioration at roof penetrations
  • Flat roof seam or membrane failure
  • Gutter overflow backing up at the fascia and soffit

We repair the actual entry point — not the symptom. The repair lasts because we fix what’s actually failing.

Ice Dam Emergencies

Ice dams are Ontario’s most destructive winter roofing emergency. When attic heat escapes through the roof, it melts the base of the snowpack at the ridge. That meltwater flows down to the cold eave, refreezes, and builds up — eventually backing water under shingles and into the building. Interior water staining from ice-dam intrusion can begin weeks after the ice formed, and the source is rarely obvious.

What we do:

  • Safe ice removal to stop further backup
  • Thermal imaging to locate where water has already entered and how far it has travelled
  • Emergency sealing at the entry point
  • Permanent repair of any shingle, flashing, or deck damage
  • Attic ventilation assessment — because ice dams are fundamentally a ventilation problem, not just a shingle problem

Fallen Tree and Debris Impact

A fallen tree or large branch striking a roof can cause structural damage far beyond what’s visible from the ground. Deck damage, rafter compression, and widespread shingle displacement can all result from a single impact — and rain will find every new gap immediately.

What we do:

  • Safe debris removal coordination
  • Structural assessment of the affected area
  • Emergency tarping for the full damage zone
  • Complete repair including deck and structural remediation where needed
  • Full documentation for insurance — impact damage is typically covered under homeowner policies

Flat Roof Emergencies

Commercial buildings, home additions, garages, and modern residential flat-roof designs are vulnerable to sudden membrane failure — particularly during and after heavy rainfall, when drainage blockage causes water to back up faster than the membrane can handle.

What we do:

  • Emergency drainage clearing — blocked drains and scuppers that are causing backup
  • Membrane sealing for sudden breach points
  • Thermal imaging to locate all infiltration points on large commercial roof areas
  • Complete flat roof repair using TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, or BUR repair methods

What to Do While Waiting for Emergency Roof Repair

When you’ve made the call and our team is on the way, protect yourself and your property:

Inside the building:

  • Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the active leak
  • Place buckets or containers to catch dripping water
  • If ceiling bulges significantly with collected water, carefully pierce the bulge with a small hole to drain it in a controlled way — this prevents the ceiling from collapsing under water weight
  • Photograph everything — water damage, staining, and the interior conditions — before moving anything

Outside:

  • Do not attempt to climb onto the roof yourself — especially in wet, icy, or wind conditions
  • If it’s safe to do so, photograph visible exterior damage from the ground
  • Note any debris, fallen branches, or obvious points of roof failure that you can see without approaching the roof

For insurance:

  • Document the timeline — when the weather event occurred, when you noticed the damage, when you called
  • Keep records of any emergency expenses (hotel if property is uninhabitable, temporary repairs, etc.)
  • Do not make permanent repairs yourself before the adjuster sees the damage — document first

Emergency Roof Repair and Your Insurance Claim

Most emergency roofing events — storm damage, sudden wind failure, ice dams, fallen tree impact — are covered under standard Ontario homeowner and commercial property insurance policies. The key to a successful claim is proper documentation.

United Roofers provides:

  • Written inspection report detailing all damage found
  • Thermal imaging data showing moisture infiltration extent
  • Photo documentation of exterior and accessible interior damage
  • Clear identification of the weather event or cause
  • Itemized repair scope for adjuster review

We work alongside your insurance adjuster — explaining findings, answering technical questions, and providing the contractor documentation that moves the claim forward. We’ve helped hundreds of Ontario property owners successfully navigate roofing insurance claims and we know what adjusters need to see.

📞 Call now: (905) 789-1335 — we document from the first visit.

Frequently Asked Questions — Emergency Roof Repair

Do you really answer at 2am on a Sunday? Yes. 24/7 means 24/7 — not “most hours” or “business hours plus.” Call (905) 789-1335) any time and a real person answers.

How fast can you respond to an emergency? Response time depends on your location and current call volume. We dispatch as fast as possible and give you an honest ETA when you call. Our Brampton and Cambridge offices allow faster coverage across our full service area than single-location contractors.

What is the difference between emergency tarping and permanent repair? Tarping is immediate protection — stopping water entry while the property is assessed and a permanent repair is planned. Permanent repair is certified installation that solves the problem for the long term. We provide both in sequence, with full documentation at every stage.

Will my insurance cover emergency roof repair? Storm damage, sudden wind failure, fallen tree impact, and ice-dam damage are typically covered under Ontario homeowner and commercial property insurance. We provide complete documentation for your claim. Check your policy for specific coverage terms — deductibles and exclusions vary.

Should I try to tarp my own roof before you arrive? Only if it is completely safe to do so and you have the proper equipment. Most roofing emergencies occur in wet, icy, or windy conditions where the risk of a fall is real. In most cases, containing the damage inside and waiting for our team is the safer choice.

Do you charge extra for after-hours emergency calls? We charge fair, transparent rates for emergency work — no inflated after-hours surcharges. Before any permanent work beyond immediate stabilization, you receive a clear verbal estimate followed by a written quote.

Can you repair any type of roof in an emergency? Yes — asphalt shingles, metal roofing, flat membrane systems (TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, BUR), slate, tile, and wood roofing. Every system we install, we can emergency-repair.
