Frequently Asked Questions

How much does roof replacement cost in Toronto?

Asphalt shingle roof replacement in Toronto typically runs $8,000–$18,000 for a standard bungalow. Price depends on roof size, slope, existing layers, and materials chosen. Getting three quotes from licensed contractors is the best way to find fair market pricing.

Do Toronto roofing contractors need to be licensed?

Yes. In Ontario, roofing contractors who employ skilled trades workers must carry valid WSIB coverage and comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Always verify your contractor's credentials before signing a contract.

What roofing permits are required in Toronto?

A building permit is required in Toronto for full roof replacements (stripping to deck) and structural repairs. Your licensed contractor should pull the permit — if they ask you to do it, that is a red flag.
