Call today Emergency Roof Repair Water coming in now. The first job is to stop it entering, which is rarely the same job as fixing the roof properly. In Leaside-Bennington → Can wait Roof Repair A specific fault fixed, rather than the whole roof replaced. Worth asking for first, and worth a straight answer about when it stops being worth it. In Leaside-Bennington → This week Roof Replacement A full tear-off and re-roof. The single most expensive thing most houses have done, and the one where the written scope matters most. In Leaside-Bennington → Call today Ice Dam Removal The ridge of ice at the eaves that stops meltwater draining, so it backs up under the shingles and comes through the ceiling instead. In Leaside-Bennington → Can wait Flat Roof Repair EPDM, TPO and modified bitumen. Common on Toronto row houses, rear additions and low-rise commercial, and a different trade from shingles. In Leaside-Bennington → This week Roof Inspection Somebody up there looking properly, with photographs, and a written view of how long it has left. Cheap, and the thing most people should buy before they buy anything else. In Leaside-Bennington → This week Shingle Roofing Asphalt shingles, which is what most Toronto houses have and what most will go back to. The choices that matter are fewer than the brochures suggest. In Leaside-Bennington → This week Metal Roofing Standing seam and steel shingle. More expensive up front, and it sheds snow rather than holding it, which matters on some Toronto roofs more than others. In Leaside-Bennington → Call today Roof Snow Removal Taking load off a roof after a heavy fall, or clearing the eaves so meltwater has somewhere to go. Not something most roofs need, and worth being told when yours does not. In Leaside-Bennington → Can wait Skylight Repair and Installation Skylights leak at the flashing far more often than through the glass, which is why replacing the unit sometimes fixes nothing. In Leaside-Bennington → Can wait Chimney Flashing Repair Where the chimney meets the roof is the most common leak on a house with a chimney, and it is roof work rather than masonry work. In Leaside-Bennington → This week Attic Ventilation Intake at the eaves and exhaust at the ridge. Get it wrong and the roof ages early, the attic sweats, and ice dams form every winter.

Why the work is like this in Leaside-Bennington

With around 17,000 residents, Leaside-Bennington is mostly houses with their own pitched roofs and their own attics — which means the ventilation above your ceiling is yours to fix, and fixing it is usually what stops the problem returning. Toronto's humid continental — long cold winters, humid summers, and a freeze-thaw shoulder season either side climate and its housing — Victorian and Edwardian semis through the old city, postwar bungalows and backsplits across Scarborough, North York and Etobicoke, and a downtown core that is almost entirely towers — set what is worth doing. Freeze-thaw decides roofs in this city. Meltwater finds a gap during a thaw, freezes in it overnight, and opens it wider by morning — so a small fault found in November is a bigger repair by March. It is also why the same eave dams up every winter until somebody fixes the attic rather than the ice.

When to book in Leaside-Bennington

The freeze-thaw weeks either side of winter are when roofs announce their faults, and January and February are when those faults turn into ceiling stains. The busiest weeks follow it, which is worth knowing if you are trying to reach somebody quickly.

Will someone actually come out to Leaside-Bennington?

Yes — our partners work Leaside-Bennington itself, including 66 Douglas Crescent Parkette, Laird, Toronto Public Library - Leaside and The Kilns, not just the nearest big city. If you are on the edge of town, give us your postal code on the call and we will confirm it in seconds.

Often within a couple of days, and same-day for anything urgent.

Meltwater finds a gap during a thaw, freezes in it overnight, and opens it wider by morning — so a small fault found in November is a bigger repair by March.

What makes this different in Toronto?

Roofing work here falls under the Ontario Building Code, and the City of Toronto handles permits and inspections.

I am just outside Leaside-Bennington — is that covered?

Almost certainly. The same companies work Broadview North, Mount Pleasant East, Playter Estates-Danforth, Rosedale-Moore Park and Old East York. Give us your ZIP postal code on the call and we will confirm right away.

What does this cost in Leaside-Bennington?

It depends on the property, the size of the system and what the inspection finds, so we do not publish a price — a figure quoted here is not one the attending company has agreed to. Be wary of a per-vent price quoted over the phone before anyone has seen the system; the number of vents is not what decides the work. You get a price for your Leaside-Bennington property before anything starts.

Do we come to your address?

Put in your postal code and we will tell you right away.
