Roofing in Forest Hill

Forest Hill's housing came up largely in the 1920s and 1930s, when the former village filled in with substantial Tudor revival, Georgian and English cottage-style homes — and the roofs were built to match. Slate, cedar and clay tile were common original materials here, on steep, well-framed slopes designed to carry them, and many houses still wear premium roofing today. The mature canopy that gives the neighbourhood its name shades those roofs and feeds their eavestroughs year-round.

Roof work in Forest Hill tends toward the higher end of the trade: repairing or replacing slate and cedar in kind, or transitioning carefully to premium architectural shingles without cheapening the house. Copper flashing, complex valleys and large chimneys are routine details. If your Forest Hill roof is due for expert attention, request a quote and we'll match the workmanship to the home.
