A new roof, start to finish.
How it goes
- Inspection. We go up and into the attic, then write down what we found and what we would do.
- Permit check. Ontario’s Building Code Act requires a permit to construct a building, and "construct" includes material alteration or repair. We confirm with the City of Burlington whether your job needs one.
- Tear-off. Old layers come off to the deck, and damaged boards are replaced.
- New roof. Underlayment, flashing, vents, then the new surface.
- Walk-through. We clean up, walk the property with you and photograph the finished roof.
Materials and how long they last
Expected life spans as the guide publishes them.
20 yrs
Asphalt and cedar shingles, about
40 yrs
Corrugated steel, about
60 yrs
Natural slate, about
40–60 yrs
Standing seam metal, about (the guide gives both figures)
How we estimate: the life spans are the expected life spans published in the CMHC Housing Design Catalogue, Materials Guide (2025): asphalt and cedar shingles 20 years, corrugated steel 40, standing seam metal 40 to 60 (the guide gives both), slate 60. Ventilation, slope, sun and storms move the real number either way, which is why we go up and look.

We come out, go up, and tell you how many years the roof has left and what we would do about it, in writing.
