What Is Roof Replacement?
Roof replacement means removing your existing roofing materials and installing a completely new roof system. This usually includes stripping the old shingles or membrane, inspecting and repairing the roof deck, installing underlayment, ice and water protection, flashing, ventilation and the new roofing material. A full replacement is the right choice when your roof is near the end of its service life, has widespread damage or keeps leaking despite repairs. DVR Roofing provides roof replacement for residential and commercial properties in Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, Etobicoke, Markham, Concord, Newmarket and all of the GTA.

Roof Replacement FAQs
How much does roof replacement cost in Toronto?
Most roof replacements in Toronto cost between $6,000 and $20,000 for a typical home, depending on size, material, pitch and deck condition. Asphalt shingles cost the least; metal, slate and cedar cost more. DVR Roofing provides a free inspection and written quote.
How do I know if I need a new roof?
Common signs include curled, cracked or missing shingles, heavy granule loss in gutters, recurring leaks, sagging areas, daylight in the attic and a roof that is near or past its expected lifespan.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
If damage is limited and the rest of the roof is in good shape, repair is usually the better value. If the roof is near the end of its life, has widespread wear or keeps leaking, replacement is the smarter long-term choice. We give you an honest opinion of both options.
How long does a roof last in Ontario?
Asphalt shingle roofs commonly last around 15 to 25 years in Ontario, depending on quality and ventilation. Metal, slate and cedar roofs can last considerably longer with proper care.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements take one to three days, depending on roof size, complexity and weather. Larger or specialty roofs take longer. Your quote includes an expected timeline.
What does a roof replacement include?
A full replacement typically includes removing the old roofing, inspecting and repairing the deck, installing underlayment and ice and water protection, new flashing and vents, the new roofing material and full clean-up. Your written quote lists exactly what is included.
Can you install a new roof over the old one?
In some cases a second layer is possible, but a full tear-off is usually better. It lets us inspect the deck, fix hidden damage and give the new roof the best lifespan. We explain which approach suits your roof.
Can a roof be replaced in winter?
Often, yes. Many roofs can be replaced in cold weather when conditions are safe, though some materials install best in milder temperatures. We advise on timing and can make temporary repairs if needed.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Toronto?
A permit is not always required for a like-for-like roof replacement, but requirements can vary by municipality and project. We can help you check what applies to your property.
Does homeowner insurance cover roof replacement?
Insurance may help when a roof is damaged suddenly by storms, wind or falling objects, but it usually excludes normal wear and tear. Review your policy and speak with your insurer. We can provide a written assessment of the damage.
What roofing material is best for my home?
That depends on your budget, roof design and how long you plan to stay. Asphalt shingles offer the best value, while metal, slate and cedar offer longer life and a premium look. We help you compare options.
Does DVR Roofing offer a warranty on roof replacement?
Yes. Details are on our Our Warranty page.
