Residential roof repair
Roof problems are easier to deal with before they become bigger problems
A damaged roof does not always mean that the entire roof needs replacing.
Problems such as missing shingles, damaged flashing, small leaks and
weather-related damage may sometimes be repairable when they are identified
early and the surrounding roof is still in suitable condition.
My Roof Request helps homeowners in Toronto, Vaughan, Markham and Richmond
Hill submit details about a roofing problem and request contact from a
roofing professional serving their area.
Describe what you can see or what is happening inside the property.
A roofing professional can assess the roof and advise whether a repair,
further investigation or replacement may be appropriate.
Common roof problems
When should you consider requesting roof repair?
Roof damage can show up in several ways. Some warning signs are visible
outside, while others first become noticeable inside the home.
Missing or damaged shingles
Wind, age and severe weather can loosen, crack or remove shingles,
leaving parts of the roof more exposed to water.
Water stains or signs of a leak
Damp patches, ceiling stains or water entering the home can indicate
a roof, flashing or penetration problem that should be investigated.
Flashing and roof penetrations
Areas around chimneys, vents, skylights and roof intersections can
become vulnerable when flashing or seals deteriorate.
Storm or wind damage
Strong wind, heavy rain, ice and falling debris can damage roofing
materials even when the problem is not immediately obvious.
Repair or replacement?
Does a damaged roof always need to be replaced?
No. Whether repair or replacement makes more sense depends on the
location and extent of the damage, the condition of the surrounding
roofing system, the age of the roof and whether problems are isolated
or widespread.
A localized problem may sometimes be suitable for repair. More
extensive deterioration, recurring leaks or widespread material
failure may lead a roofing professional to recommend considering
replacement instead.
A roofing assessment may consider:
- Where the damage is located
- How much of the roof is affected
- The condition of nearby shingles or materials
- Signs of recurring water entry
- The approximate age and overall condition of the roof
Roof leak help
Seeing water inside your home?
The place where water appears indoors is not necessarily the exact point
where it entered the roofing system. Water can travel along roof decking,
framing or other surfaces before becoming visible on a ceiling or wall.
If your main concern is active or suspected water entry, see our
roof leak repair information
for common warning signs and what information can help when submitting
your request.
If water is near electrical fixtures, the ceiling is sagging, structural
damage is visible or conditions appear unsafe, keep clear of the affected
area and contact the appropriate emergency or qualified professional
service rather than relying on an online request.

Roof repair questions
Frequently asked questions
How do I know whether my roof can be repaired?
That depends on the type and extent of damage and the overall
condition of the roof. An isolated problem may sometimes be
repairable, while widespread deterioration or recurring problems
may make replacement worth considering.
Can a roof leak be repaired without replacing the whole roof?
In some situations, yes. A leak can originate from a localized
roofing, flashing or penetration problem. The roof needs to be
assessed to determine the source of the water and the appropriate
repair.
Should missing shingles be repaired quickly?
Missing or badly damaged shingles can leave parts of the roofing
system more exposed to weather. It is sensible to have visible
damage assessed rather than waiting for water entry to become
apparent indoors.
Does My Roof Request perform the roof repair?

We do not perform roofing work. A selected roofing professional
serving your area may contact you regarding the request.
