Hoggs Hollow / St. Andrew / Windfields Roofing Services
These historical north Toronto neighbourhoods have been a familiar work place for AVENUE ROAD ROOFING® since 1974.
South of York Mills Rd. and East of Yonge St.; the historic neighbourhood of Hoggs Hollow is located. This prestigious neihbourhood has many examples of cedar shake and shingle roofs that we had replaced back in the 1980’s and since that decade. Architecture found in this neighbourhood harkens back to the 1930’s, with many homes having been built in the colonial style, and others having a country estate appeal. One will also find examples of modern architecture involving mansard slopes and flat roofs.
Moving north and eastward; the area of St. Andrew which is bordered to the north by the 401 and extending east toward the Windfields community; which runs east past Leslie St. to the Don River; this community represents an eclectic array of homes built between the 1930’s to the 1960’s and the 1970’s as one travels east toward and past Bayview Ave. The modern community of Winfield originated from the farmlands sold off by the famous Canadian horse breeder E.P. Taylor, back in the late 1930’s. Unlike the more traditional style of homes built in St. Andrew; the homes constructed in Windfield represented the modern style of home construction of that time.
Windield has a unique blend of architectural styles which include everything from two storey Tudor style, Colonial style, modern mansard/flat roofed homes and a variety of bungalow styles. There is literally not one of these style of homes that we have not re-roofed over the past fifty years.
While the Windfield neighbourhood was originally built as an affordable family friendly community, it has evolved into one of the mot sought after and expensive neighbourhoods which are still a family oriented community, and which is surrounded by amenities for shopping, schools, and places of worship.
The proximity to highway 401 and the Don Valley Parkway, and to access the southern areas of the city via Bayview Ave., make these neighbourhoods desirable for many Toronto professionals and their families.
We are proud to note that we have literally completed work on every street in these communities numbering in the hundreds if not thousands of homes in the vicinity.
Common work for us in the community involved re-roofing in fiberglass laminate shingles, flat roofing, cedar works, carpentry, skylight retrofits, and the list goes on as we have grown with the communities over the past fifty years.
We are proud to have staff which not only work but live in the community.
Cedar Roof Replacements and Repairs
Commonly found on homes in Hoggs Hollow are cedar shingles and cedar shakes. Popular on mansard style homes are 18” Perfections and 18” Tapersawn Skakes. Both exhibit uniform finished edges and provide a character appearance in keeping with the scale of such homes. ARR sources it’s cedar from the mills in BC which are approved by the Canadian Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau (CCSB™). Avenue Road Roofing® is one of only 3 certified installers for the CCSB in Ontario.
This means that clients who use a Bureau approved contractor qualify to receive Bureau warranties on the materials, and who certify that we are proven experts in the field of installation of such products on roofs and walls. The CCSB provides a website which demonstrates all installation requirements for all of their products and discusses product grading characteristics.
Heavy shakes are commonly used on larger roof plains and with architecture which is reminiscent of country homes and rustic décor. Literally dozens of example of our work can be seen in this upscale neighbourhood.

Flat Roofing Replacement & Repairs
Typical of mansard style homes described in the preceeding paragraphs, is the fact that such homes have flat roofs serving as the main roofing assembly. Unlike sloping roofs which are termed water shedding; flat roofs are requiring waterproofing systems, for which there are several types.
ARR prefers to install cold applied,two ply modified bitumen assemblies on residential homes in the neighbourhood. The reason is that theses architecturally significant properties typically have older wooden substrates and timber construction beneath the roof. They are therefore highly vulnerable to fire risk if using open flame torch applied methodology. Such practice is reserved for non-combustable substrates on our commercial and industrial projects.
This proven cold applied method is popular on senior facilities, hospitals, and schools where risk must be mitigated and low-odour solutions are preferred. Advanced adhesives are used in lieu of open flame, and hot air guns are utilized for particular detail work.
Flat roofs require particular expertise for reliable installation which encompass many details involving drainage, external insulation or internal insulation methods, varied metal flashing details, appurtanences and so on.
ARR is a proven and certified applicator for many leading manufacturers such as IKO, Bakor, Firestone and Certainteed. We have a fifty year history for honouring our workmanship warranties and providing lasting solutions.
Asphalt Shingle Roofs in Hoggs Hollow / St. Andrew / Windfield
Today’s modern shingles are termed fiberglass laminated shingles, and have a construction which differs from the historical paper asphalt shingles that were used over the past seventy years.
There are different grades and styles and price points of such shingles available today , and there are quality and warranty differences between manufacturers. ARR promotes Certainteed™ shingle products as a result of their proven reliability in our market for over thirty years, and the fact that they rate highest consistently in Consumer Reports. We hold their highest credential in North America, which requires re-testing on an annual basis among other criteria for qualification including inspection, insurance, warranty, licensing, and financial stability.
Fiberglass laminate shingles provide a relatively cost effective and attractive alternative to natural roofing materials while somewhat replicating the appearance of natural slates or cedar.
Reliably, such products can now last 25 to fifty years and are heartier than the older incarnation of shingle products. They represent a most popular and common choice for today.
While this market segment is highly competitive in terms of installation pricing; there is no substitute for quality which is found in the installation details. Complex roofs require experience. Key elements include proper metal flashing details, underlay use, ventilation strategies, property protection and finishing detail, including the fact that you will find us if needed after 50 years serving the community already.
Skylight Installation
Skylights are a popular retro-fit item requested by our clients in the neighbourhood. Installing skylights creates the illusion of increased space in a room and bathes the area with natural sunlight and fresh air, if one selects an opening model. Velux is our premier brand of skylights and roof windows that we install.
When contemplating roof replacement, it is the perfect time to incorporate such a feature.
Commonly, we replace existing skylights that are aged and exhibit seal failure. These typically include low –rise dome type skylights which are mounted on curbs for both flat and sloping roofing plains. ARR carries all of the major brands.
Key to a successful skylight installation involves flashing details which are impeccably done, insulating the interior tunnels where applicable and using gasket tape on the tops of curbs to provide superior air and noise sealing.

Hoggs Hollow / St. Andrew / Windfield Slate & Synthetic Slate Roofs
Increasingly clients with high character homes are seeking roofing solutions that are deemed eco-friendly and represent greater long term value and longevity. Granted these roof systems cost more initially but can reliably provide service for at least 50 years (Synthetic slate) and 100 years for authentic slate. Both materials are fully recyclable and work with both modern and traditional architectural styles.
ARR is one of a handful of roofing contractors that are able to complete such work including repairs, as we maintain some stock of harvested authentic slate.
Churches, institutional and heritage properties and residential clients have all benefited from new and rehabilitation slate works.
Sheet Metal / Copper Work
Within our 16,000 sq. ft. facility is our dedicated metal shop that custom makes various profiles of both the standard metal roof flashings that we use on a daily basis and custom work such commercial roofing sheet metal and custom copper and leaded copper profiles for roofs and flashings.
Pre-painted steel is the typical product selection for many roof types, with copper, zinc, and leaded copper often the preferred option for heritage work, slate, and cedar installations. Such work including copper gutters and bay /bow roofs are not only designed to be highly durable, but can act like the crowning jewels of your roof renovation project.
We are proud to have artisans and sheet metal mechanics skilled in the fabrication and soldering of this highly skilled trade.
ASFT / Siding / Gutters
Aluminum in a variety of pre-finished colours represent the typical and economical choice for gutter (Eavestrough) replacement on most of today’s homes. Soffit and fascia cladding using such materials can prevent the need for exterior painting and provide some measure of protection from animal intrusion.
Many of the new generation of siding products come in modern profiles that can transform a dated exterior to a maintenance free show piece with modern flare. Consider dormers, exterior walls, and facades as opportunities to beautify. Siding is available in natural wood, steel, aluminum, vinyl, composite, and natural cedar.
Carpentry / Decks
Born out of our requirement to frequently make structural roof repairs, our Carpentry Division has evolved to become the one stop, one source responsibility option for clients in the neighbourhood that require such items as porch rehabilitation, roof decks, ground decks, fences, custom he/she/play sheds, column retro-fits, skylight installations, and exterior rehabilitation projects. We can help you plan for added value, enjoyment, or simply putting things back in proper order.

Customer reviews
it was a pleasure working with everyone at Avenue Road Roofing (ARR) and the finished product is incredible. I am a furniture/cabinetmaker myself, and let me just say that the kind of work ARR does is NOT the norm
This is my third time hiring Avenue Road for exterior work on my house. I have a very old house, and the jobs are always tricky. I wouldn't trust any other company to do roofing, siding, and exterior work. As always, they are reliable and do great quality work. Phil is knowledgeable and provides honest, fair quotes. Tony and Sunny, the aluminum experts, always do a fantastic job. Jason is so pleasant to deal with over the phone. Highly recommend Avenue roofing for all exterior work. I couldn't be happier with the end result.
Avenue replaced our two level 30 year old built up roof which developed a severe leak. The work was done on very short notice and in a professional manner. The roofing crew worked long days to ensure the roof was tight each night during the work. They very polite and left our property clean each day. Matthew, who prepared the quotation for the work, was very responsive and worked to ensure our roof replaced as quickly as possible.
Excellent service on installation and outstanding after installation service. Today they checked my roof as I was seeing black pieces in my back yard. They climbed up on the roof and checked everywhere and it was Not coming from the roof which continues to be in excellent condition. I highly recommend Avenue road roofing.
Class and Joe were amazing. Being only females in this family and mostly retired, we appreciated their courtesy, friendliness, respecting distancing and their honesty. Avenue road put a new roof years ago and they did amazing job. This project was the same. Thanks so much for your service.
