Residential roofing in Ontario — the context

The average Ontario home undergoes a full roof replacement every 25–30 years, with asphalt shingles making up roughly 75% of residential roofs in Canada.

Canadian Roofing Contractors Association (CRCA)

Labour and material costs for residential roofing have risen 30–45% since 2020 — making early assessment and planning more valuable than ever.

Ontario Building Code Div. B, Sec. 9.27 governs roof fastening, ventilation and drainage — requirements MKT meets or exceeds on every job.

Our residential roofing services

Full roof replacement

Complete tear-off, decking inspection and repair, ice and water shield, underlayment, new roofing system and full cleanup — with a documented before-and-after record.

Roof repair

Targeted repair using matching materials. We find the actual source, not just the visible symptom — most leaks trace to flashing, valleys and penetrations rather than open-field shingle failure.

New construction roofing

On-time, on-budget installation for custom homes and developments. We coordinate with builders and provide all documentation required for occupancy permits.

Roof inspections

Written inspection reports with findings, photos and prioritized recommendations — for home purchases, insurance renewals or proactive maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I need a new roof or just repairs?

If your roof is under 15 years old and damage is isolated, repair is almost always right. If it’s 20+ years old with widespread granule loss, recurring leaks or multiple failure points, replacement is the better investment. We provide a free, honest assessment.

How long does residential roof replacement take?

Most re-roofs complete in 1–2 days depending on size and complexity. We give you a realistic schedule before starting.

Are you licensed and insured in Ontario?

Yes — full general liability and WSIB coverage. Documentation is available on request, and we meet all Ontario roofing standards.

Does MKT work with insurance for storm damage claims?

Yes. We provide detailed damage reports and documentation and work with your adjuster through the process.
