What to know about Asphalt shingle roofing

Asphalt shingles cover a large share of sloped roofs across Canada, and a shingle roof is really a system rather than a single product. Each shingle is a mat coated in asphalt and topped with mineral granules, but it only keeps water out when it sits on a sound deck with the right membranes, underlayment, flashing and ventilation beneath and around it. Snow that stays on the roof for months, meltwater backing up at the eaves and gusts that try to lift the tabs all put those hidden details to the test.

What changes in East York

East York is one of the areas we list inside Toronto. Pros draw their own service area — some name the suburb, some draw a radius that takes it in — so say where in East York the work is, and we match on the area each of them gave us.

East York is one of 28 places we list under the name Greater Toronto Area. A pro's service area might be East York on its own or the whole of that area — we match on the one they gave us.

No permit page published by East York itself has been verified for this site, so what is below is what applies in Ontario. If shingle roofing needs a permit, ask who is pulling it and whether it is in the price.

The rules we can source for this work in Ontario cover general contracting and renovation. They are set out below with the page each one came from — the regulator's words, not ours.

East York is in the Ontario and Quebec zone our seasonal checklists are written for, and this work appears in Summer and Winter on the maintenance calendar. Those notes are about heavy snow, freeze–thaw cycles and ice dams.

Shingle roofing costs in East York

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:

  • Roof size and the number of layers to remove
  • Roofing material
  • Slope and how steep the roof is to work on
  • Access to the roof and the site
  • Condition of the decking underneath
  • Flashing, vents, skylights and chimneys to work around
  • Amount of repair work compared with a full replacement

How to choose roofers in East York

  • Ask for a written quote that lists the materials, the scope of work and what happens if damaged decking is found once the old roof is off.
  • Look for a roofer who inspects the roof in person, including the attic if possible, before giving you a price.
  • Check that they carry liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, since roof work is high-risk.
  • Compare quotes on the same scope: tear-off or overlay, underlayment, flashing, vents and cleanup.
  • Ask to see recent roofs they've done that are similar to yours in material and slope.

Questions to ask roofers before you hire

  • Will you remove the old roofing or install over it, and why?
  • How will you handle damaged decking or other surprises once the roof is open?
  • Who will pull the permit if one is needed?
  • Can you show me proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage?
  • What warranty do you offer on your workmanship, and how long does it last?
  • How will you protect my yard, gutters and siding, and how will you clean up nails and debris?
  • Will your own crew do the work, or will you use subcontractors?

Shingle roofing permits in Ontario

Some shingle roofing work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Common shingle roofing questions

Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?

Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.

How many pros will contact me?

We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.

Do I have to hire someone?

No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
