Fixall Roofing provides residential roofing in Burlington for homeowners who want one roofer for the whole roof system: shingles, flashing, ventilation, eavestroughs and the attic below. We work on every kind of house in the city, from century homes downtown to townhouse rows and newer builds in Alton Village, and most problems we find start where those parts meet.
This page is the starting point for every home roofing service we offer. Use the service groups if you know what you need, or the symptom table if you only know what you are seeing.
Services are grouped by the problem they solve. The material and eavestrough pages go deeper into products, installation details and pricing factors.
Full replacements, everyday repairs, leak detection and repair, storm and hail damage repair, inspections and maintenance plans form the core of our residential work. We are open 24/7 for emergencies such as wind damage or an active leak.
Inspections come with photos and a written summary, and maintenance plans schedule regular checks so small faults are caught before they reach the ceiling.
We install asphalt shingle roofing in architectural and premium lines, metal roofing in standing seam and steel panels, and flat roofing for additions, garages and modern low-slope designs. Cedar shake and slate are available for heritage homes and higher-end projects.
Roof coating, sealing and waterproofing extend the life of a sound roof, while ice dam prevention and roof snow removal deal with Burlington's freeze-thaw winters. Roof cleaning removes moss and algae streaks using methods matched to the material, since high pressure strips the granules from asphalt shingles.
We repair and replace roof and chimney flashing, roof decking and structural framing, and install ventilation, attic insulation and roof soundproofing. Skylight installation and repair, plus solar panel roof installation and repair, round out the components we handle.
We install seamless eavestroughs formed on site to the length of each run, repair leaking joints and sagging sections, and fit gutter guards for homes under mature trees. Properly sized downspouts move water away from the fascia and foundation.
Match what you are seeing to the likely cause and the service that addresses it. An on-site assessment confirms the diagnosis before any work is quoted.
| What you see | Likely cause | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| Water stain on a ceiling | Flashing, vent boot or valley leak | Roof leak repair |
| Shingles in the yard after wind | Failed sealant strip or poor nailing | Storm damage repair |
| Icicles and ice ridges at the eaves | Attic heat loss and weak ventilation | Ice dam prevention and insulation |
| Overflowing eavestroughs | Clogs, undersized troughs or poor slope | Eavestrough repair or gutter guards |
| Hot upstairs rooms in summer | Blocked soffits or too little exhaust venting | Roof ventilation |
| Black streaks or moss | Algae and shade-held moisture | Roof cleaning |
| Granules in downspouts, curling shingles | Shingles near the end of their life | Roof inspection, then replacement |
When two symptoms appear together, such as ice ridges and a ceiling stain, the cause usually lies in the attic as much as on the roof. That is why our assessments include the attic whenever we can get access.
Burlington's housing spans more than a century, and each era has its own weak points. This table shows the issues typical of each home type and the materials that tend to suit it.
| Home type | Common issues | Materials that suit |
|---|---|---|
| Century home downtown or in Aldershot | Plank decks, old layers, chimney flashing | Architectural shingles, or cedar and slate where heritage rules apply |
| 1960s to 1980s bungalow or backsplit | Low-slope sections, tired ventilation, aged decking | Architectural shingles, or metal for long-term owners |
| 1990s to 2000s two-storey | Builder-grade shingles, undersized attic venting | Architectural shingles with a ventilation upgrade |
| Townhouse | Shared rooflines, firewall flashing, condo rules | Shingles matched to the block, coordinated with the condo board |
| Home with a flat-roofed addition | Ponding, failed tie-in to the main roof | Modified bitumen or EPDM on the flat section |
Homes in the downtown heritage district or on the Municipal Heritage Register may need heritage approval before visible materials change. Townhouse owners should also check condo declarations, which often set shingle colour and replacement timing for the whole block.
If the roof is under about 15 years old and the damage is limited to one area, a repair is usually the right call. Coatings and sealing can extend a sound flat roof, but they cannot rescue shingles at the end of their life.
Replacement makes sense when shingles are curling or shedding granules across the whole roof, when leaks appear in several places, or when the deck feels soft underfoot. An inspection with photos shows which side of that line your roof is on.
How long you plan to stay also matters. A homeowner selling in two years and one staying for twenty may reasonably choose differently.
Permits rarely decide the question. The City of Burlington generally does not require a building permit for like-for-like shingle replacement on a roof with fewer than three layers, while structural changes and new skylight openings do, so confirm with the City before work starts.
