Roof repair in Scarborough, inspected by drone.

Most Scarborough roof repairs run $299–$1,200 depending on the source of the leak, accessibility, and shingle availability. Flashing, vent boots, and small valley repairs are typically at the lower end. Storm-driven repairs — torn underlayment, multiple slopes — sit closer to $800–$1,500. AUK Roofers gives you a written, line-item quote within 24 hours of the free drone inspection, so you know the number before any work starts.

A typical 2,000 sq ft asphalt-shingle replacement in Scarborough costs $8,500–$14,000 in 2026. Premium architectural shingles, metal, and cedar systems run $16,000–$32,000+ depending on slope complexity, tear-off depth, and decking condition. Pricing also reflects access — back-split bungalows on tight lots cost less to load than three-storey homes with limited side-yard staging.

For straight like-for-like asphalt shingle replacement, no building permit is generally required. Structural changes (new dormers, increased roof load for solar, deck replacement beyond 50%) do require a permit through the local building department. AUK Roofers handles permit pull and inspection scheduling on any job that needs one — included in the quote.

We're a new, owner-led local company, so we compete on transparency rather than a long review list. Your drone inspection is free, the full-resolution photos are yours to keep, and your quote is fixed-price and line-item in writing within 24 hours — with no obligation to go ahead. Before hiring any Scarborough roofer, always ask to see their current WSIB clearance and liability insurance certificates; a reputable contractor will provide both in writing.

Same-day tarp-and-secure response across Scarborough during storm events, typically on-site within 2–4 hours of your call. Permanent repair is scheduled once the roof is dry and the source is confirmed by drone — usually within 3–7 days, faster in winter when leaks compound.

Storm, wind, hail, and impact damage are typically covered under standard Ontario homeowner policies; gradual wear, age-related deterioration, and lack of maintenance are not. A free drone inspection gives you full-resolution, date-stamped photos of your roof to keep — useful for your own records, or anything you choose to do with them.

Standing-seam metal (40–70 years), architectural asphalt (25–30 years), and synthetic slate (50+ years) all outperform 3-tab asphalt (12–18 years) in the GTA's freeze-thaw climate. For most Scarborough homeowners, architectural asphalt is the cost/lifetime sweet spot. We'll lay out the trade-offs honestly during the inspection.

We don't lock you into an in-house financing plan. Many Scarborough homeowners spread a replacement over a home-equity line of credit or a manufacturer/retail promotion, and we're happy to time the work around whatever you arrange. The drone inspection and written quote are free, so you get exact numbers before deciding how to pay.
