Semis, row houses and flat rear roofs
Much of old Toronto is semis and row houses built in the late 1800s and early 1900s, in neighbourhoods like Leslieville, Riverdale, Cabbagetown and the Annex. The front of the house usually has a steep shingled roof, and the back has a flat or low-slope roof over the kitchen or a later addition. Those flat sections, and the joins between the two, are where most leaks start.
On a semi or row house, your roof meets your neighbour’s. The flashing along that line needs care so water can’t get in on either side. Lots are tight, so getting materials up and old shingles out takes planning, and a bin on the street, boulevard or a public lane needs a Street Occupation Permit from the City.
A few Toronto jobs our customers have written about on HomeStars:
- A Toronto semi where we replaced the flat roof across both halves, working carefully around the skylights and gutters (2021).
- A 95-year-old Toronto roof with old layers piled on it. We stripped them off, added insulation and put on a new roof (2021).
- A flat roof rebuilt the way we’d do a commercial one: foam insulation, cement board, two layers of membrane, and new flashing at the chimney and the plumbing stack (2022).
- An East York house where the shingled main roof and the flat porch roof were both done in one day, with a new turbine vent (2024).
- A big, steep Scarborough roof with lots of valleys and dormers, torn off and re-shingled (2020).
- Full tear-off, never a second layer over old shingles
- Flat and low-slope roofs over additions and garages
- Chimney and skylight flashing on older bungalows
- Eavestrough, soffit and fascia done with the roof

Questions
Toronto roofing questions
Not for a straight re-roof. The City of Toronto doesn’t require a building permit to replace roofing material when no structural work is needed. Structural changes and additions do need one, and so does a new skylight if more than one rafter has to be cut. A bin on the street, boulevard or a public lane needs a separate Street Occupation Permit from the City, which comes with a daily fee.
Yes. What matters most is the flashing where your roof meets your neighbour’s, so water can’t get in along that line. New shingles won’t match the colour of older ones exactly, so some neighbours agree to do both halves at the same time. When a flat roof runs across both houses, doing it in one go is usually the cleanest job.
Rear additions on older Toronto homes usually have a flat or low-slope roof, and those tend to fail at the seams, around the drain, or where the addition meets the main wall. If the area was shingled, that’s often the problem: shingles need pitch to shed water, and on a roof that flat the water sits and finds a way in. The fix is usually a proper membrane and new flashing where it meets the house.
A typical Toronto house takes one to two days for a tear-off and new shingles. Steep roofs with lots of valleys and dormers, rotten boards under the old shingles, or a stretch of rain can add a day. A flat roof over a rear addition or garage is often done in a day.
Most asphalt shingle replacements on Toronto and GTA homes land between $9,000 and $26,000 in 2026. Size, pitch, how many layers come off and any rotten decking move the price the most. Architectural shingles typically run $5.50 to $9 per square foot installed, and flat roofs about $5 to $17. Our 2026 roof replacement cost guide breaks it down by house size.
Late spring to early fall. Shingles need warm weather to seal. In the cold they get stiff and can take weeks to bond, so winter re-roofs need extra hand-sealing. Leaks and repairs get handled all year.
It can. In the Cabbagetown heritage districts, repairs using the original roofing material don’t need a heritage permit, but switching to a different material does. If your house is in a heritage district, check with the City’s Heritage Planning team before you change what the roof is made of.
