Flat Roof Specialists, Serving Toronto and the GTA
Flat and low-slope roofing is not one of the things we do. It is the only thing we do, and it has been for over 16 years across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.

We Chose the Narrow Road on Purpose
Most roofing companies in this city will quote you for anything with a roof on it. Shingles, flat, siding, eavestrough, the lot. There is nothing wrong with that, but it means low-slope work is one of eight things the crew does, and low-slope roofing is where the difficult details live.
Flat Roofs Toronto went the other way. Flat and low-slope roofing is the entire business: installation, replacement, recover, repair, skylights set into low-slope decks, and the insulation and ventilation in the shallow cavity underneath. Over 16 years of doing only that means nothing about your roof is going to be a first for us.
It shows up in the parts of the job nobody photographs. How the membrane is terminated where a rear roof meets a neighbour's brick wall. How high a skylight curb needs to stand to clear February. Whether the soft patch by the drain is a membrane problem or a joist end that has been sitting in wet masonry for a decade. Those judgements come from repetition, and repetition is what specialising buys you.
How We Work
Four things we hold to, on every job, whether it is a garage roof or a warehouse.
First
We Get on the Roof
No quotes from a satellite photo and no numbers over the phone. We get up there, probe for trapped moisture, check the drainage, look at the deck and photograph what we find. The quote comes after that, not before.
Then
We Tell You What We Found
Including when the answer is smaller than you feared. If a repair will buy you five more good years, we will say so rather than sell you a replacement. You get the photographs either way.
During
We Leave It Watertight Every Night
We do not open more roof than we can close before the end of the working day, and we do not leave a site dirty. On occupied buildings the phasing plan is agreed before we start, not improvised.
After
We Walk It With You
Final walkthrough on the finished roof, punch items closed out, and both the manufacturer warranty and our workmanship warranty handed over in writing.
Our Crews, on Our Own Job Sites
Over 150 photographs from real Toronto and GTA flat roof projects. Every image in our project gallery and in the proof strips on this site came off one of them.

Where We Work
Our base is Toronto and the bulk of our work is inside the city: the old row-house neighbourhoods where almost every rear roof is low-slope, and the commercial and industrial buildings across the inner suburbs. From there we work out through the Greater Toronto Area.
We also cover the neighbourhoods people actually name rather than the boroughs they sit in: the Beaches, Leslieville, Riverside, the Danforth, Parkdale, the Junction, High Park, Liberty Village, Little Italy, the Annex, Forest Hill, Yorkville, Midtown, Old Town, the Waterfront, Don Mills, York Mills and more.
If you are on the edge of that map, call and ask rather than assuming. We would rather give you a straight answer than have you waste an afternoon.
About Flat Roofs Toronto
The questions people ask before deciding who to let onto their roof.
How long have you been doing this?
Over 16 years on Toronto flat roofs, through every kind of winter this city produces. In that time flat and low-slope work has been the whole business rather than a line on a longer list.
Do you only do flat roofs?
Yes. We do not quote shingles, siding, eavestrough or general contracting. If you call us about a pitched roof we will tell you honestly that it is not what we do. Everything that touches a low-slope deck, including skylights and the insulation in the cavity underneath, we handle ourselves rather than subbing out.
Residential or commercial?
Both, and they are genuinely different disciplines. Residential work is about detail: tight sites, shared walls, awkward geometry, and getting materials onto a rear roof through somebody's house. Commercial work is about logistics: phasing, occupancy, rooftop equipment and keeping a business trading while its roof comes off. We run both.
What areas do you cover?
Toronto and the wider GTA: Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, East York, York, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Woodbridge, Maple, Concord, Thornhill, King City, Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, Milton, Whitby and the surrounding areas. Call and ask if you are unsure.
What warranties do you provide?
Two. The manufacturer warranties the roofing materials and system, and we provide a workmanship warranty covering the installation we carried out. Both are handed over in writing at the final walkthrough, because they cover different failures and you want both rather than one.
Are all the photos on this site really yours?
The project gallery is. Every photograph in our projects and in the proof strips, showing a roof, a crew or a job in progress, came off one of our own Toronto and GTA job sites. The hero images at the top of each page are illustrations rather than job photographs, and we say so in their alt text. Where you see a technical drawing of a membrane assembly, it is clearly a drawing rather than a photograph, and it is there because it explains the layers better than a photo of a finished surface can.
