Shingle Roofs

At Ontario Downspout Service, we specialize in asphalt fibreglass shingles — the most popular and trusted roofing material for homes across Toronto and the GTA. Known for their durability, weather resistance, and visual appeal, these shingles offer reliable protection and a range of design choices to complement any home.

We proudly offer two premium asphalt fibreglass shingle options:

1) Architectural Shingle
Also known as dimensional shingles, architectural shingles are thicker and more textured than traditional 3-tab shingles. Their multi-layered design adds visual depth and enhances curb appeal while offering improved wind and weather resistance. These shingles are a popular choice for homeowners seeking a strong balance of performance and style.

2) Designer Shingle
For those looking to make a bold architectural statement, designer shingles offer a wide variety of profiles, colours, and finishes that replicate the look of slate, wood shake, or other premium roofing materials — all with the reliability of asphalt fibreglass construction.

Our experienced team will help you select the right option to match your home’s aesthetic and your long-term roofing goals.

Metal Roofs

If you’re looking for a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution that looks as good as it performs, metal roofing is a smart investment. As a trusted metal roofing contractor serving Toronto and the GTA, Ontario Downspout Service installs durable metal roof systems that are built to withstand harsh weather, resist corrosion, and protect your home for decades.

Metal roofs are no longer just for barns or industrial buildings — today’s systems offer modern styling that works beautifully with a wide range of architectural designs. Available in various finishes, profiles, and colours, metal roofing is a great way to upgrade your roof while improving energy efficiency and reducing long-term maintenance. Whether you’re building new or replacing an aging roof, metal gives you a sleek, durable, and sustainable option with serious curb appeal.

Slate Roofs

Slate roofing is one of the most timeless and elegant choices for high-end homes, offering unmatched durability and natural beauty. While it’s more of an investment upfront, a properly installed slate roof can last over 100 years, making it ideal for homeowners looking for long-term value and low maintenance. It’s naturally fire-resistant, weatherproof, and adds a distinct architectural look that never goes out of style.

This roofing material is best suited for solid roof structures that can support the weight of natural stone. If you’re considering a slate roof for your home in Toronto or the GTA, our experienced team will guide you through the material selection, installation process, and any structural considerations to ensure a flawless, lasting result.

Synthetic/Composite Slate Roofs

Synthetic slate roofing — also known as composite slate — offers the classic look of natural slate without the weight or high cost. Made from a combination of polymers, rubber, and other engineered materials, synthetic slate is a lightweight and affordable alternative that’s still incredibly durable and weather-resistant.

This is a great option for homeowners who want the appearance of slate with easier installation and less structural reinforcement. It’s also impact-resistant and available in a range of colours and profiles, offering design flexibility and long-term performance. Our Toronto roofing specialists can help you determine if composite slate is the right fit for your roofing project.

Cedar Roof

Cedar roofing is prized for its natural beauty and rustic charm, often seen on heritage homes and cottages. In addition to its rich, timeless look, cedar also offers strong performance — it’s naturally resistant to moisture, insects, and UV damage. With proper maintenance, a cedar roof can last 30 to 40 years, and even longer in the right conditions.

This roofing style works especially well on homes with character or architectural detail, and it ages beautifully over time, developing a soft silver-grey patina. For homeowners in Toronto looking for both aesthetic appeal and natural performance, cedar is a standout choice. Our team provides expert installation to ensure the shingles are properly spaced and ventilated for maximum longevity.

Synthetic/Composite Cedar Roofs

Synthetic cedar roofing gives you the classic appearance of real cedar shakes with the added benefit of enhanced durability and less maintenance. These products are designed to replicate the texture and tone of wood while being resistant to rot, mold, insects, and fire — perfect for the demands of Toronto’s variable climate.

Made from advanced materials like polymer blends or recycled components, synthetic cedar offers a sustainable, long-lasting alternative to traditional wood. It’s ideal for homeowners who want the warm, natural look of cedar without the upkeep. As experienced installers in the GTA, we’ll help you choose a composite option that matches your vision and holds up beautifully over time.

FAQ

There are several warning signs that it’s time for a roof replacement. These include:

  • Missing or curled shingles

  • Granule loss or bald spots

  • Frequent leaks or water stains inside the home

  • Sagging rooflines

  • Moss or algae growth

  • An aging roof (15+ years for asphalt shingles)

If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to have a professional roofer in Toronto perform a detailed roof inspection. They can determine whether repairs will suffice or if it’s time for a full roofing project. Replacing your roof at the right time helps you avoid more serious damage and adds long-term value to your home.

The most expensive part of a new roof is typically the labor and installation costs, especially when removing the old roofing system is required. Factors like roof size, pitch, complexity, and material choice also impact the overall cost. While premium roofing materials like metal or architectural shingles can raise the price, the installation process often represents a large portion of the expense due to the precision, safety measures, and expertise involved. Working with a professional Toronto roofing company ensures that this investment is done properly and built to last.

Yes, even a small roof leak can lead to significant water damage if left unaddressed. Leaks often start silently, seeping into your attic insulation, ceiling, and walls before visible signs appear. Over time, this moisture can cause mold growth, rot, warped wood, and electrical issues — not to mention costly repairs. That’s why it’s so important to schedule prompt roof repair in Toronto at the first sign of trouble. A quick fix today can save you thousands in interior restoration work down the line.

In Toronto’s climate, the average roof lifespan depends heavily on the materials used and how well the system is maintained. Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 15–25 years, while metal roofing systems can last 40 years or more. Factors like heavy snow, ice buildup, and temperature fluctuations can shorten a roof’s life if not addressed through regular inspections and maintenance. A well-installed and properly cared-for roof can often exceed its expected lifespan, which is why many homeowners in the Greater Toronto Area invest in a roof maintenance program.

The ideal time to replace your roof in Toronto is during the late spring through early fall. Temperatures are more consistent, the weather is generally dry, and roofing materials perform better during installation when it’s not too cold or humid. Summer and early autumn are especially popular times for roof replacement because they offer optimal conditions for shingles to seal properly and crews to work efficiently. However, experienced roofers in Toronto can still complete safe and effective installations outside of peak months if weather conditions allow.
