Toronto homeowners are booking roof repairs earlier this year, trying to fix leaks, damaged shingles, and worn flashing before ice and snow set in. Roofing crews across the Greater Toronto Area say repair calls typically climb every fall as residents try to get ahead of the season instead of waiting for a leak to force the issue.

In early fall you want to get some repair work done while temperatures are still nice enough for sealants and shingles to bond well. It’s also much more convenient to do those kinds of repairs before winter comes along and makes working on your roof difficult.

It doesn’t seem very important if a single shingle is missing or there’s a little space around a vent pipe in September. But by January? That hole could be letting tons of water run into your attic, soaking up all the insulation and dry wall—and eventually rotted all that wood down.

"Waiting until the first snowfall to deal with a roofing issue almost always costs more in the long run," said a company spokesperson. "We tell homeowners the same thing every year: get your roof looked at in the fall, while repairs are still straightforward. It's a lot less stressful than an emergency call in the middle of a snowstorm."

The company's roofing team handles both scheduled fall repairs and emergencies, including leak detection, shingle repair, waterproofing, ice removal, and eavestrough, soffit, and fascia repair. It also runs a seasonal maintenance program, so homeowners can see the condition of their roof before winter rather than after a leak shows up on the ceiling.

Ice damming is one of the bigger risks once winter arrives. Heat escaping through the roof melts snow, which then refreezes at the colder eaves and forms a ridge of ice. That ridge can force melting water back under the shingles and into the house. A roof with unresolved damage going into winter is more likely to develop a leak this way, which is why fall inspections tend to catch problems that would otherwise turn into indoor water damage.

Our company has been repairing and installing roofs on homes and commercial buildings all over Toronto for years now. Homeowners often tell us how quickly we respond to their requests, as well as explain different options for fixing the problem ahead of time. That’s especially important during the fall months, when many residents are figuring out whether they need repairs to their homes or if a part of their roof needs to be replaced entirely.

Homeowners who want a fall roof inspection or repair before winter can find details, including emergency service options, on the company's roofing page.
