Emergency Roofing in Toronto

When the roof fails, we answer

Wind off the lake, an ice storm, a chimney flashing that finally lets go at two in the morning. Our emergency crew is on call every hour of the year across Toronto and the GTA. We turn up ready to stop the water first and talk about the roof second.

Response

What happens when you call

  1. Triage by phone

    A roofer answers, not a call centre. We work out how urgent it is, tell you how to control the water inside the house, and send a truck.

    Minutes
  2. Arrive & stabilise

    Reinforced tarps, temporary membranes and sandbagging to stop water entry.

    Same day
  3. Document

    Photographs of all damage, a written cause-of-loss report and an itemised estimate in the format Ontario insurers expect.

    After the visit
  4. Permanent repair

    Repairs in the roof's original materials, scheduled at your convenience once the adjuster has signed off. We deal with the insurer directly if you prefer.

Common emergencies

Toronto's usual suspects

  • Wind damage from Lake Ontario storms: lifted slates, torn metal, displaced ridge caps
  • Ice dams backing meltwater under the roof covering and into upper-floor ceilings
  • Ice storm loading on eavestroughs, tree limbs through roofs
  • Flat roof flooding when drains freeze or clog under snow
  • Chimney and flashing failure after freeze-thaw fatigue
  • Hail fracturing tile, denting metal, bruising asphalt

While you wait: place a bucket under the leak and, if the ceiling is bulging, puncture it with a screwdriver at the lowest point to release water in a controlled way. Move valuables and photograph everything for your claim. Do not go on the roof.

When to call

What counts as a roofing emergency?

Call the emergency line, day or night, if water is coming into the house, if part of the roof has blown off or been punctured by a tree limb, or if a ceiling is sagging with water. Those situations get worse by the hour, and a tarp or temporary membrane put on quickly can save thousands of dollars in interior damage.

If you have a slow drip, a few missing shingles or a stain that is not growing, it can usually wait for a booked roof repair within the week. When in doubt, call: a roofer will tell you honestly whether it can wait.

Insurance claims

Sudden storm, wind and hail damage is often covered by Ontario home insurance. We photograph the damage, write a cause-of-loss report and itemise the repair the way adjusters expect. Our guide to storm damage and your Ontario home insurance explains what to document and when to call your insurer.

Questions

Emergencies, answered

Do you charge an emergency call-out fee?

Yes, a fixed call-out fee covers arrival and stabilisation, quoted before we dispatch. It is credited against the permanent repair if you proceed with us, and it is typically recoverable under your insurance policy.

Will you work with my insurance company?

Routinely. Our reports are written for adjusters, we attend adjuster inspections on request, and we bill the insurer directly where the policy allows.

Do you respond outside Toronto?

Yes, across the GTA including Oakville, Mississauga, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham and Burlington. Response times outside the city are longer in major storms; we prioritise active water entry.
