Flat Roofing
Flat and Low-Slope Roofs on Toronto Homes
Flat and low-slope roofs are common across Toronto, on detached garages, rear kitchen additions, dormers and the main roofs of many row and semi-detached houses. Because water drains off them slowly, they face a harder test than a pitched roof. Ponding water, blistered membrane and seams that open after a winter of snow load and freeze-thaw are the usual signs that a flat roof needs attention.
Toronto Roofing & Masonry repairs, recovers and replaces flat roof membranes. Modified bitumen, EPDM and TPO are all used on low-slope roofs, and we explain the options that suit your home, its drainage and how the roof is used. We also look at the edges, drains, scuppers and wall flashings, since a new membrane will not stay watertight if the water has nowhere to go.
What's included

Why choose us
What Our Flat Roof Work Gives You
Drainage Checked First
Water standing on a flat roof shortens the life of any membrane, so we look at slope, drains and edges before recommending a repair or a new covering.
When Recovering Makes Sense
Where the deck and existing layers are sound, recovering can be an option. We explain when it is, and when a full tear-off serves you better.
Membranes Matched to the Roof
A garage roof, a rear addition and the main roof of a row house each place different demands on a membrane, and our recommendation reflects that.
Seams and Edges Detailed for Winter
Seams, laps and wall flashings take the brunt of snow load and freeze-thaw, so these details get close attention on every flat roof we work on.

Pricing
Factors in the Cost of Flat Roofing
The estimate for a flat roof depends mainly on these points:
- The area of the roof and how easy it is to reach
- Whether the roof can be repaired, recovered or needs a full replacement
- The membrane system that suits the roof and how it is used
- The condition of the deck and any insulation under the membrane
- Drainage corrections, edge details and wall flashings needed
The work
Our Flat Roof Process from Survey to Sign-Off
The main stages of the job, from the first look to the final check.
Roof Survey
We check the membrane, seams, drainage, edges and flashings, and look for signs of water in the deck or insulation.
Options and Estimate
We explain whether repair, recovering or replacement suits your roof and provide an estimate for you to approve before we start.
Membrane Work
Damaged areas are repaired or the old roof is removed, the deck is made good and the new membrane is laid with its seams and edges sealed.
Completion Review
We review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.
