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.

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.
