A real person reviews every roof. No obligation, and we don’t sell your info · Planning a full replacement instead?
Water coming in right now?
Don’t wait on the website — call us and we’ll talk it through.
For an active leak, the fastest help is a phone call. We’ll walk you through protecting the inside of your home tonight, then book a proper diagnosis in daylight. We won’t promise a “same-night fix” we can’t do safely on a wet or icy roof.
While you wait: move valuables clear, put a bucket under the drip, and gently poke a bulging ceiling so trapped water drains into a container instead of spreading.
What are you seeing?
Pick the closest match. Each one starts your address-based diagnosis with that symptom noted — you’ll add photos and details next, and a roofer reviews it before anyone visits.
Active leak right now
Often urgentWater coming in during or after rain — a drip, a wet spot spreading, water tracking down a wall.
Start here →Ceiling or wall stain
A brown ring or patch on a ceiling or upper wall, even if it’s dry today. Often an older or intermittent leak.
Start here →Leak near the chimney
Staining or dripping around a chimney. Usually failed flashing or a cracked chimney cap, not the shingles.
Start here →Leak around a vent or pipe
A wet spot under a plumbing stack, bathroom fan, or roof vent. Often a worn rubber boot or pipe collar.
Start here →Missing or wind-lifted shingles
Shingles gone, curled, or flapping after wind — or shingle pieces in the yard. Common after GTA windstorms.
Start here →Leak at a valley or skylight
Water where two roof slopes meet, or around a skylight. These channels and corners are common leak points.
Start here →Ice dam (winter)
A ridge of ice at the eaves with icicles, backing water up under the shingles. A cold-weather GTA classic.
Start here →Attic moisture or condensation
Damp insulation, frost on nails, or musty smell in the attic. Sometimes ventilation, not a roof hole.
Start here →Gutter overflow
Water spilling over the eavestrough or pooling at the foundation. May be blocked gutters, not the roof itself.
Start here →Not sure what it is
Something looks off and you’d rather have a professional confirm it. That’s a perfectly good place to start.
Start here →This points you toward a likely category — it is not a remote diagnosis. The real cause is confirmed on-site, with photos, before we recommend any work.
How a repair diagnosis works
A leak can travel several feet from where it enters to where it shows up inside, so we never guess. Here’s the honest path from “something’s wrong” to a fix you can trust.
Tell us what’s happening
Your address, the symptom, and a few photos. Enough for us to narrow the likely cause and bring the right materials — not enough to call it a certain diagnosis.
We confirm it on-site
A roofer inspects and photographs the real source — flashing, valley, vent boot, deck, or shingles — so you see the problem with your own eyes, not a sales story.
A photo-backed recommendation
A written scope and price for the repair — or an honest repair-versus-replacement call if the roof is near the end of its life. Repairs are installed to manufacturer specification.
What roof repairs really cost here
We can’t quote your repair until we’ve seen it — the cause sets the price. But here’s honest GTA context so you’re not walking in blind. Anyone who gives you a firm repair price over the phone is guessing.
The number that surprises people most is roof decking: when the plywood under your shingles is rotted, replacing it runs about $3–$6 per square foot — and it’s invisible until the roof is opened up. It’s the single most common concealed cost in a repair, so we photograph and flag it rather than spring it on you.
Rough GTA context
- Small, accessible fixes (a few shingles, a vent boot) are usually a few hundred dollars.
- Flashing, valley, and chimney repairs cost more — they’re detailed, slow work done right.
- Wet roof decking adds about $3–$6/sq ft once exposed.
- A full detached-home replacement runs about $15,000–$20,000 + HST — worth comparing if the roof is old.
Context only — not your price. Your repair scope and price are confirmed after an on-site, photo-backed diagnosis. HST (13%) applies.
Common questions about roof repairs
Can you diagnose my roof leak from a photo, without coming out?
No — and we won’t pretend otherwise. Photos and your description help us narrow the likely cause and bring the right materials, but a leak can travel several feet from where it enters to where it shows up inside. We confirm the real source with an on-site, photo-backed diagnosis before recommending any repair.
What does a roof repair cost in the GTA?
It depends entirely on the cause. Small, accessible fixes — a few shingles, a vent boot, a section of flashing — are typically a few hundred dollars. Repairs involving chimney flashing, valleys, or replacing wet roof decking (often $3–$6 per square foot for the deck alone) cost more. We give you a written scope and price after we see the roof, never a number pulled from thin air.
When is a repair not worth it?
If the leak comes from worn-out shingles near the end of their life, or we find widespread deck rot once we open it up, a repair can be money spent twice. In that case we’ll show you the photos and lay out repair-versus-replacement honestly. A detached-home replacement in the GTA generally runs about $15,000–$20,000 plus HST, so the math is worth doing before you spend.
It’s leaking tonight. What can you actually do?
Call us and we’ll be honest about timing. Climbing a wet or icy roof in the dark is unsafe, so the right move is usually temporary mitigation — containing the water inside, and protecting the area — then a proper diagnosis in daylight. We won’t promise a “same-night fix” we can’t do safely. Reach us at (437) 000-0000.
