When repairs stop solving the problem, a new roof is the smartest investment you can make in your home. Universal Roofs provides premium roof replacement Toronto homeowners trust, using top-tier materials from IKO, CertainTeed, and SOPREMA. With more than 20 years of experience, our team delivers detailed inspections, honest pricing, and dependable roof replacement services backed by a workmanship warranty and manufacturer material warranties.
Signs You Need a Roof Replacement
Consider a full replacement if your roof is more than 20 years old, if several areas are leaking, if you notice sagging or uneven sections, or if your energy bills are climbing quickly. An old roof can cost you thousands of dollars in wasted energy and water damage, so waiting often costs more than acting.
What a Full Roof Replacement Includes
Our full-service replacement covers tear-off, disposal, decking inspection, and new installation. We offer asphalt shingle installation, whether you are upgrading from 3-tab to architectural shingles or choosing a designer color. After stripping the old roof, we inspect every inch of plywood and replace sections with rot, soft spots, or water damage. In some cases, we can evaluate a re-roofing overlay to see whether a second layer is a smart option for your home.
Protection goes in before the shingles do. We install synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield to defend against ice dams and rain intrusion, plus brand-new step, counter, and apron flashing around chimneys, walls, and other penetrations. We also inspect and replace damaged soffit and fascia, and we install ridge vents and soffit vents for balanced airflow that prolongs your roof's lifespan. Planning a skylight? A reroof is the most cost-effective time to add one, and our Velux certification means we coordinate it all.
Our Roof Replacement Process
First, we assess your current roof, including decking, ventilation, and flashing, and document everything with photos. Second, we walk you through shingle options from IKO, CertainTeed, and more, helping you choose the right look, warranty, and price. Third, we protect your landscaping, driveway, and siding before tearing off the old roof down to the decking. Finally, we install the new system and finish with a magnet sweep, drone inspection, and a walkthrough with you.
