Existing roofing removal
Name the roof areas, assumed layers, disposal method, and exclusions instead of hiding a layer assumption in one lump sum.
ASPHALT ROOF REPLACEMENT · TORONTO & THE GTA
Replace the roof as a complete system.
An asphalt roof is more than the visible shingle. A responsible proposal identifies removal, deck review, membranes, underlayment, edges, flashing, ventilation, shingles, ridge details, disposal, protection, cleanup, and written warranty terms.
Roofprint starts with a property planning range, then confirms the scope before a firm price.
RELEASE STATUS
Scope evidence comes before a service claim.
The asphalt service gate is closed.
This page remains noindex while the operating and contractual scope is being verified. The modules below describe the release standard, not a promise that every line is currently included.
SCOPE LEDGER
What the proposal should name
Every line is confirmed operationally and contractually before it is represented as included.
Deck review
Document the exposed deck before cover-up. Any sheathing process, approval step, and unit rate must match the signed agreement.
Eave and valley protection
State the membrane product and exact coverage locations; avoid unsupported universal code claims.
Underlayment
Name the product and coverage rather than reducing the assembly to “underlayment included.”
Drip edge, starter, and edges
Write the edge assembly and starter method, including how existing conditions are handled.
Flashing and penetrations
Identify walls, vents, pipes, chimneys, skylights, and flashings as replace, reuse, repair, or review.
Ventilation
Assess intake and exhaust as one system and record the basis for any change without promising an unsupported lifespan outcome.
Shingle system
Name manufacturer, product line, colour, starter, ridge cap, accessories, and the exact applicable warranty document.
Protection and cleanup
Make the plan property-specific: staging, windows, siding, landscaping, HVAC, neighbours, debris, sweep, and walk-through where applicable.
Workmanship and service terms
Show actual terms, exclusions, claim path, transfer rules, and document location before signing. Duration remains evidence-gated.
CONFIRMATION
What gets checked before a firm price
The address read can support roof geometry and a planning range. Confirmation resolves the conditions it cannot prove.
- Access and height
- Existing layers
- Deck indicators
- Flashings and penetrations
- Adjacent structures
- Protection requirements
- Selected system
- Permit or heritage status
EVIDENCE TIMELINE
From property read to completion file
- Property read
Record roof geometry and commercial assumptions with their provenance labels.
- Roof check
Document exterior, access, and visible-condition questions. After the range, the action is Choose a roof-check window.
- Written proposal
Review scope, materials, HST, payment timing, work expectations, exclusions, and terms before signing.
- Open-roof record
Photograph the deck and any approved changes before they are covered.
- Completion file
Keep final photos, approved changes, product documents, and service or warranty paths together.
SYSTEM COMPARISON
Compare complete roofing systems
System names matter only when the component differences are written.
Essential
A defined architectural-asphalt baseline with the complete scope shown line by line. Product and price rows bind to approved current sources.
Enhanced
An upgraded system that states exactly which products, coverage, accessories, or terms differ. No popularity badge without real selection data.
Premium
A higher-specification system. Impact, wind, appearance, and warranty statements require exact product documents and installer eligibility.
PROPERTY RECORD
Protect the property, then prove the cleanup.
The final plan can address material staging, siding and windows, landscaping, HVAC, driveway and vehicles, neighbours, debris containment, magnetic sweep, and a walk-through—but only as applicable to this property.
- Plan before work
- Document during work
- Review at completion
BOUNDARIES
Permits and warranty are scope questions—not badges.
Permit requirements depend on municipality and final work. Warranty eligibility depends on products, installer status, registration, owner obligations, exclusions, and the actual Roofprint terms.
Permit guide
Check like-for-like replacement, structural work, sheathing, openings, material changes, and heritage status against official municipal guidance.

Keep manufacturer material terms distinct from Roofprint workmanship and service terms.

Asphalt replacement FAQ
Is the online planning range a firm price?
No. It uses the property data and assumptions shown. The firm contractual price follows confirmation of access, layers, deck condition, flashing details, selected system, current inputs, and final scope.
What can change after the roof check?
Only documented differences should change the proposal—for example an additional layer, deck condition, access constraint, material choice, or work that was not visible from the aerial read. The signed agreement controls the written change process.
How long does an asphalt roof replacement take?
It depends on roof size and complexity, scope, crew plan, material delivery, weather, and concealed conditions. The property-specific work window should be written rather than reduced to a universal one-day promise.
Does Roofprint replace flashing and ventilation?
The proposal should identify each flashing and ventilation condition and the planned action. A blanket inclusion should appear only when the verified service scope and contract support it.
Do I need a permit?
Municipalities often distinguish ordinary same-material re-shingling from structural, sheathing, skylight, roof-form, material, or heritage work. Check the Ontario permit guide and the official city source for the final scope.
What warranty do I receive?
The proposal should separate the manufacturer’s material terms from Roofprint’s workmanship terms and link the exact documents. No duration or “lifetime” claim is made without verified products, eligibility, registration, proration, exclusions, and Roofprint terms.
