Residential Insulation

Residential Roofing Insulation Experts

Your roof’s insulation contributes to the integrity of the attic ventilation and structure of your home.

The experienced team of Toronto roofing contractors at Professional Roofers is ready to insulate your roof to improve your home’s ventilation, protect its structure, and maintain temperature control.

There are various types of insulation that can be used to not only help enhance your home, but help homeowners avoid long term structural problems.

Types of Residential Insulation

Insulation is material that is installed on a surface to resist heat flow. That said, the purpose of roofing insulation is to maintain the heat in the roof’s system.

There are various types of materials that are used for roofing insulation, each of which are rated on a thermal resistance scale — this is more commonly known as an r-scale.

The r-scale helps contractors like us determine just how well a material will be able to insulate and resist heat. The higher the r-scale, the better the material will insulate your home.

Insulation fall under four categories: loose-fill, spray foam, rigid board, or batt or blanket. Our roofing contractors will help you pick the insulation that is best suited to your home’s unique needs:

Loose-fill insulation

This type of insulation is best suited to walls and floors in enclosed spaces like attics and roofs. It is most commonly applied on top of existing layers of insulation for extra durability or to fill in cracks and gaps. Types of loose-fill insulation include:

Cellular fibre
Glass fibre
Mineral fibre

Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation (like SPF) is made from plastic resin and created on-site to be applied directly to the surface of choice. This spray-formula insulation is available in both low density and high-density forms.

Spray foam insulation is available in-store, but for precise results, you’ll want to enlist the help of professional roofing contractors like Professional Roofers.

Types of spray foam insulation include

Closed-cell polyurethane foam
Open-cell polyurethane foam

Rigid Board Insulation

Rigid board insulation, also known as insulating boards, is particularly lightweight. It’s easy to cut and handle due to the fact that it is typically made from foam plastic materials or mineral fibre.

Types of rigid board insulation include:

Expanded polystyrene
Extruded polystyrene
Mineral fibre rigid board
Polyurethane & polyisocyanurate boards

Batt or Blanket Insulation

This easy to install insulation is typically made of glass fibre and mineral fibre. It is best suited to larger spaces that don’t have any hard to reach small cavities. The advantage of this insulation is that it can be cut to fit into irregular surfaces, and conforms to awkwardly shaped surfaces.

Unsafe: Formaldehyde-based foam insulation

The Government of Canada has banned formaldehyde-based foam insulation since it’s been proven that being exposed to the material for long periods of time can cause long term health effects for an individual. Other materials are safe and regulated.

The Benefits of Insulation Installation

A properly insulated roof can greatly benefit homeowners and their homes. Consider how professional insulation services can have long term advantages:

Temperature Control

A well-insulated roof is ideal if you live in Canada where we experience both extreme ends of temperature. Insulation helps you to keep the warm air out of your home in the summer and helps you to keep the warm air in and cold air out in the winter. Ultimately, insulation helps you to maintain a consistent, comfortable temperature in your home.

Prevents Water Damage

As discussed, insulation can help you to control the temperature in your home. By extension, this helps to prevent condensation and moisture that gets caused by extreme heat.

Proper roof insulation is essential as this condensation and moisture can weaken your home’s structure, and lead to long term problems.

Glen Schultz

From Adam with the initial quote and consultation, to Enrique and the other installers, to Leo with the final inspection, Professional Roofers is professional, courteous and gets the job done to the highest standards and quality. I highly recommend them.

The word "Professional" is accurate! I worked with Fernando to re-shingle my roof. From start to finish it was an excellent experience. He patiently answered all my questions and communication was great. The workers that came were very nice and professional. They worked hard, did a great job and cleaned up very well. I went to the office on Industry St. to pay for the job and it's a very professional space. It's a huge team they have there, this is not a fly by night company in the least. The office staff were kind and friendly. I made the right decision going with Professional Roofers.

I recently hired Professional roofers to handle a roofing project at my home, and I’m very satisfied with the results. From the initial consultation to the final inspection, the team was professional, punctual, and communicative.

They provided a clear, detailed quote and explained all the options available to me. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and kept the site clean throughout the project. Most importantly, the quality of the work was excellent—the roof looks great.

I appreciate their transparency and commitment to customer satisfaction. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Professional roofers to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality roofing services.

After receiving several quotes for my eaves that left me with sticker shock I noticed a crew from Professional Roofers working on my street. The workers were friendly and gave me a company card. Checked with the neighbour and they were very satisfied with the completed job. The quote I received was more reasonable than the others and the clincher for me is that they don’t contract out, they only work with their in house crews. My finished eaves look great and the crew was pleasant, hardworking and addressed all my
Concerns. I highly recommend Professional Roofers. Ask for Patrick to arrange for your quote and property inspection, he’s professional, and a pleasure to work with.

Professional Roofers are amazing! Adam Witte, the estimator helped us out from start to finish. Not the typical pushy Sales person. Walked us through the whole process. Workers came on time and finished in a timely manner. They had a quality control manager Leandro Oliveira, that would come and check the job when it was finished. He made sure all my questions were answered. Dont go with the fly by night roofing companies. Would definitely recommend!

Ashlee Shutt

Our experience with Adam W. Was great. He is professional, diligent and great to work with. We have used him in the past too. Great experience. Will always use him and his crew in future.

Re: Cleaning of Eavestrough/Gutters & Repairs/Sealant - Great job!! 👍
We requested repairs for a fallen Downspout, sealant for dripping corners of eavestrough and cleaning of gutters (removal of debris)
We were quoted a fair price and are very pleased with the quality of work and thorough cleaning 👌 Leandro was a pleasure to deal with and his crew were competent and efficient!
We will definitely recommend Profesional Roofers and keep them in mind should we require new Eavestroughs or Roof replacement in future.
Thank you for great service!

Aziam Howes

Professional Roofers was excellent. Alfredo was a great communicator, their quote was the best, and the roof was completed on time. Cleanup was thorough, and they clearly explained each step. Highly professional!
