Metal roofing

Commercial metal roofing covers standing-seam panel roofs on sloped commercial buildings and low-slope metal on industrial structures. Metal sheds…

Skylights

Commercial skylights on flat roofs are curb-mounted: the unit sits on a raised curb that the roof membrane is flashed up and over, so the water line…

Where should you start?

If you already know what you need, jump to the page. If you do not, the honest starting point for most buildings is an assessment or an inspection, because the repair-or-replace question cannot be answered from the surface. Everything below is low-slope commercial and industrial work; we do not take residential sloped roofs.

The services divide into three groups. The core work is what happens to the membrane itself: installation, replacement, repair and emergency attendance. The second group is what keeps the first from arriving early, namely inspection, condition reporting and planned maintenance. The third is the specialist detail work at the junctions, edges and openings, which is where a flat roof usually fails and where the difference between two quotations normally sits. Most buildings need something from at least two of the three.

Core roofing services

Commercial roofing

The overview of everything we do on commercial low-slope buildings: the systems we install, how a job runs on an occupied building, and what Ontario code and safety requirements mean for your scope. Start here if you want the full picture before choosing a specific service.

Commercial roof installation and replacement

New roof assemblies on new construction and full replacements on existing buildings. Covers deck assessment, vapour barrier, insulation and cover board, attachment method against wind uplift, and how a capital roof project is programmed around occupancy.

Flat roof replacement

Tear-off and rebuild of a failed low-slope assembly, including the recover-versus-tear-off decision, disposal, and phasing so the building stays watertight through the work. This is the page to read when the repairs have started repeating in the same places.

Flat roof repairs

Local repairs to seams, laps, base flashings, pitch pockets, drain sumps and splits. We scope repairs against the condition of the assembly below the membrane, so you know whether the repair is a fix or a holding action before you authorise it.

Emergency roof repairs

Active water entry, storm damage and wind-lifted membrane, handled on a 24/7 line. The crew stabilises first with a temporary watertight repair, protects the interior and documents the condition for your insurer. The permanent repair is quoted afterwards.

Inspection, reporting and maintenance

Flat roof inspection and condition report

A documented walk of the roof with test cuts and, where needed, a moisture survey, producing a written report with deficiencies by priority, photographs and remaining service life. This is the document that turns a roof into a defensible line in a capital plan.

Flat roof maintenance

Scheduled visits that keep drains clear, seams sound and flashings intact, with a written record after each attendance. Maintenance is the cheapest work we sell and the reason a roof reaches the end of its service life instead of failing halfway there.

Specialist and detail work

Roof flashing and siding

Parapet and coping work, two-stage counterflashing, base flashings at walls and curbs, gravel stops, drip edge and wall cladding where it meets the roof. Most flat roofs in Toronto leak at a junction rather than in the field, so we treat this as its own trade.

Industrial roofing

Large-area work on warehouses, distribution centres and plants, where production cannot stop and process exhaust attacks the membrane. Covers phasing around shipping, curb rebuilds under rooftop units, exhaust-resistant membranes and roof traffic protection.

Commercial metal roofing

Low-slope and standing-seam metal roofing, panel replacement, fastener and closure repairs, and the condensation control that decides whether a metal roof over a warm interior survives. Includes metal roof-to-membrane transitions on mixed buildings.

Skylight installation

Skylights, roof monitors and roof hatches on flat roofs: curb height, kerb flashing, unit selection, condensation control and replacing existing units during a re-roof so the openings are done once rather than twice.

Planning and reference

Flat roof types and systems

A side-by-side comparison of SBS modified bitumen, TPO, PVC, EPDM, built-up roofing and low-slope metal, with the deck, humidity, equipment and traffic conditions that favour each one. Read this before anyone quotes you a system.

Flat roof cost calculator

An indicative planning range based on roof area, system, tear-off and access, for use in a budget conversation before measurement. It is a planning tool, not a quote, and the page explains exactly which variables move the figure.

Roofing glossary

Plain definitions of the low-slope terms that appear in specifications and quotes, from ballast and cant strip to tapered insulation and wind uplift, so you can read a roofing document without a translator.

How do you book any of this?

Call 416-456-0777, email info@northcanroofing.com, or request a free roof assessment. If you manage a portfolio rather than a single building, our property manager service puts inspection, reporting and reactive work under one point of contact. Coverage by city is listed on the service areas page, and more about how we work is on the about page.

Frequently asked questions

Which service do we need if we do not know what is wrong?

Book the free roof assessment. It costs nothing, it takes a walk of the roof plus test cuts where the assembly is unknown, and it tells you whether you are looking at a repair, a maintenance problem or a capital project. If you need a formal document for a budget submission, the roof condition report is the next step up.

Can several of these services be combined into one visit?

Usually yes. A maintenance visit often picks up small repairs that are cheaper to do on the spot than to mobilise for separately. A re-roof is the natural moment to replace skylights, rebuild curbs, correct drainage and renew coping, because access and staging are already paid for.

Do you take on small jobs, or only full roofs?

Both. A single seam repair, a drain re-flash or a wind-lifted coping is normal work for us. Small jobs are also how most long-term relationships start, and they are frequently the visit at which we find the larger issue while it is still cheap to fix.

Do you subcontract the work?

The low-slope roofing work is carried out by our own crews under our own foremen. Specialist trades that sit alongside a roof project, such as structural engineering, masonry rebuilds or crane operation, are engaged as required and coordinated by us so you deal with one contract.
