Storms come off the lake and hit Etobicoke's south end before anywhere else in the city. When the wind has taken shingles or a flat roof is holding water over your kitchen, we come out, stop it, and fix it properly after.(416) 846-3797Or send the form and we'll call you back.

Mimico, Long Branch, New Toronto and Humber Bay get the lake weather first: wind that lifts old shingles on the south slopes, rain driven into flashing that's fine in an ordinary downpour, and flat rear additions whose one drain clogs in the first ten minutes of a storm and puts an inch of water over the family room. Further north, Rexdale and Thistletown are open to the west and lose shingles to wind on exposed corner lots. The Kingsway's old chimneys drop flashing in wind and let water straight down the chase. And on the treed streets of Princess-Rosethorn, Humber Valley and Sunnylea, a storm often ends with a branch through the roof.
Call and tell us what you're seeing and where. If water is coming in, we come out, get on the roof and do what stops it that day: clear the blocked drain, re-secure or replace the lifted section, seal the open flashing, cut back the branch and tarp the hole. When the house is dry we come back in daylight, check the rest of the roof — wind that took one section has usually loosened others — and give you a written, itemized quote for the permanent repair, with photographs for your insurer. What we do on the day is meant to hold, not to be the final fix.
Call when water is dripping or a stain is spreading, when shingles are on the lawn, when a flat roof is holding water that isn't draining, when there's water down the chimney chase, or when a branch has come down on the roof. In the south end especially, waiting to see if it stops usually means the next band of the same storm.
If it's leaking, yes. Water sitting on a flat roof works into the seams within hours. We clear the drain and stop the leak today, then talk about why the roof holds water in the first place — usually no fall to the drain, which a replacement fixes.
Call us and stay out of the room below it. We tarp the opening to keep the inside dry and get the branch off safely. Once we've seen it in daylight we quote the permanent repair: deck, underlayment, shingles.
Usually, when it's sudden — wind, a branch, hail — rather than wear. We photograph everything and write up the cause and the repair, which is what an adjuster asks for. The decision is your insurer's.
