Should You Upgrade Your Roof Before Selling Your Toronto Home This Summer?

Toronto’s real estate market heats up in the summer—and if you’re planning to sell your home, your roof could play a bigger role in your sale price than you think. At Top Roofers, we often work with sellers who want to maximize their property’s value. Here’s why a roofing upgrade (or even a professional inspection) might be one of the smartest pre-sale moves you can make.

Buyers Notice the Roof First

It’s not just curb appeal—buyers (and home inspectors) will assess the roof’s condition right away. A worn or aging roof can lead to lower offers or requests for repair credits.

A New Roof Adds Value and Confidence

According to real estate agents, a well-maintained or newly replaced roof gives buyers peace of mind. It signals that the home has been well cared for and reduces future maintenance worries.

When to Consider a Roof Upgrade:

  • Your roof is 15+ years old.

  • You notice curling shingles, moss, or granule loss.

  • You’ve had past leak issues.

  • You're listing a higher-end home where appearance matters.

Alternatives to Full Replacement

Not every seller needs a brand-new roof. Sometimes a professional cleaning, minor repairs, or even new flashing can dramatically improve the appearance and function of your roof at a fraction of the cost.


Thinking of selling this summer? Let Top Roofers inspect your roof first—we’ll give you an honest opinion on whether small updates or a full replacement make sense for your situation. Book your pre-sale roof assessment.
