Flat Roofs Toronto replaced the roof on our garage after years of recurring problems. Nik handled everything from the initial assessment to scheduling the work, keeping us updated along the way. The crew also cleaned the property thoroughly afterward.

Called Flat Roofs Toronto when I noticed water pooling on my flat roof. They came out the next morning, found a few soft spots and repaired everything the same visit. Price was very reasonable and they showed me photos of the work before and after. Good flat roof repair is hard to find in this city so I am keeping their number saved.

Needed our old skylight replaced on the flat roof and Flat Roofs Toronto handled it perfectly. Clean install, no leaks, and it actually looks way better than the old one. The team was friendly, showed up when they said they would, and cleaned everything up after. Great choice for skylight replacement on flat roofs in Toronto. Fair price too would happily recommend them to anyone

Had a flat roof skylight repair done after another roofing contractor's patch job failed. They were upfront about what had gone wrong with the previous repair and what the proper fix would be. Got it done right this time and the skylight has been leak free for eight months now

My skylight was leaking around the frame on my flat roof and I wasn't sure how serious it was. Came out, assessed it properly and told me it was a flashing issue that could be properly repaired. They did the repair cleanly and for a fair price. Been dry since and it's now been through a full winter, FRT delivered
