Roofing Construction Leads in Toronto (2026): 1,248 Projects in the Award Window
To find roofing construction leads in Toronto, work from building permits and time the call to the build stage. On September 23, 2026, 1,248 permitted projects in the City of Toronto were still at the point where roofing is awarded, and 814 of them were permitted in the last 90 days. The builder or general contractor awards roofing around framing, before the roof deck is visible from the street. Builtie reads the permits, estimates each project's stage and attaches the builder or general contractor with a verified decision maker.
The same four steps, whether the buyer is a builder, a designer, an owner or a company you want to acquire.
How many roofing projects are open in Toronto right now
| Measure | Toronto |

| Projects in the roofing award window | 1,248 |
| Of those, permitted in the last 90 days | 814 |

A project counts when its permit was issued in the last four years, the build is still inside the stage when roofing is awarded, and the job is big enough to be worth quoting: at least $8k of roofing work. Trade sub-permits are not counted as projects.

When roofing is awarded, and who decides
Builtie times roofing at 15% to 35% of the way through a build, with the last realistic approach at about 45%; the roofing crew is usually on site between 30% and 55%. The builder or general contractor awards roofing around framing, before the roof deck is visible from the street.
Tap a stage. The highlighted stage is where roofing is typically awarded.
What to lead with when you call: material availability, crew dates tied to the framing schedule, warranty terms and the building-envelope details.
How Toronto permits show roofing work
Toronto permits are filed for the project, so a new permit usually means the roofing package is still open, and the name on it is the builder or general contractor who will award it.
Builtie's Toronto data is the amalgamated City of Toronto, including Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, East York and York. Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham and the rest of the GTA issue their own permits and are not in the feed today, so a Toronto count is not a GTA count. Toronto states a construction cost on about a third of 2026 permits.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find roofing construction leads in Toronto?
Start from building permits, not bid boards: most private roofing work is awarded by the builder or GC without a public bid.

When should roofing contractors contact a builder in Toronto?
Between about 15% and 35% of the way through the build, and no later than about 45%. After that the package is usually awarded, and the project is better used as an introduction for the builder's next job.
