Questions before a new roof
How long does a roof last?
The CMHC Housing Design Catalogue, Materials Guide (2025) lists 20 years for asphalt and cedar shingles, 40 for corrugated steel, 40 to 60 for standing seam metal and 60 for slate. Treat those as averages: real roofs vary.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof?
Ontario’s Building Code Act requires a permit to construct a building, and it defines "construct" to include the material alteration or repair of one. Ask the City of Burlington’s building department about your project before work starts.
What happens at an inspection?
We look at the shingles, the flashing, the vents and the attic from inside, then write down how many years we think the roof has left and what we would do.
