Amy Ramsey

Called about a leak showing up as water stains on the kitchen ceiling and the team came out the next day. Found the source fast and fixed it properly the same visit. Dry ever since. Would recommend to anyone in Toronto without hesitation.

Irina Vasilyeva

Best roofing company in Toronto. Olti is a real gentleman and a very skilled roofer. Everything done on time, place left super clean. I would absolutely recommend universal roofs Toronto for all your roofing needs

Alain Laroche

I have very positive feedback to give to Universal Roofs. The principal is a very knowledgeable person with many years of experience in the GTA. He provides advices based on real and needed (not inflated) solutions. He is very honest and did a professional job. I highly recommend! Al

Universal Roofs was willing to come out for a small job I needed done. I had a very good feeling when I met Olti who is the owner the moment I met him. He explained what he was going to do and I felt that he was honest and reasonable. These guys did an excellent job, and I would absolutely recommend them to family or friends. Thanks to Olti and his team.

I couldn't add a photo of what Olti and his team did but I would like to say an awesome job is an understatement to describe what they did for us and our skylight! ☺️ My whole family is happy for the result of our new skylight. We had leaks that damaged our kitchen ceiling and it was coming from a very old skylight. Olti responded very quickly and came the same day to give us a quote. That same day we decided for his service because he was a very honest man to work with. He considered all of our concerns. It's really hard to find good service these days, but Olti and his team did not disappoint. Also, mentioning his friend Fredi who initially worked at our damaged ceiling, he did an amazing job and was very detailed with his work. Thank you Olti and team for your amazing service!

Before you hire a roofer in Ontario

No. Roofing is not a compulsory trade in Ontario, so there is no licence to verify - which makes insurance and WSIB coverage the checks that matter.

WSIB clearance certificate

The most important document in this trade. Ask for a current certificate and confirm it names the company doing your work, not a subcontractor you have never met. It should be dated within the last 90 days.

Verify with: WSIB clearance certificates can be validated online by the account number.

General liability insurance

Two million dollars minimum for residential roofing. Request the certificate of insurance directly from the broker rather than a photocopy, and confirm the policy is current.

Manufacturer shingle certification

Optional but meaningful. Manufacturers certify installers, and certification is what unlocks the extended system warranty. Without it you have a material warranty only, which covers far less than most homeowners assume.

Municipal business licence

Some Ontario municipalities require one. Not universal, but easy to ask about.

Questions worth asking

  • Can I see a current WSIB clearance certificate and your liability certificate of insurance?
  • Is this a full tear-off, or shingling over the existing layer? (Overlays are cheaper and shorten roof life.)
  • How much ice and water shield is included, and how far up from the eave?
  • Are you certified by the shingle manufacturer, and does this quote include the system warranty or only the material warranty?
  • What happens if you find rotten decking? What is the per-sheet price, and will you show me before replacing it?
