Who is hiring roofers in Ontario right now?

16 building permits naming roofing work were pulled in Ontario over the 22 days to August 13, 2026, about 5 a week. Each one names the address, the work type and the party who filed it, and the trade call typically goes out one to four months after the permit is issued.

What kind of roofing work is it?

Mostly industrial (2), institutional (1), multi-unit residential (1), with a long tail beyond that.

What are these roofing jobs worth in Ontario?

14 of the 16 publish a declared value. The median is $25k and the largest is $30M. Declared value is the owner's construction cost estimate, not your contract value, so treat it as a size band rather than a budget.

How early is a building permit compared to a job posting?

Months. A building permit is pulled once the owner has committed the money and the drawings are stamped, and before the trades are picked. A job posting appears after somebody has already been chosen for everything else.

How to work this list

A pulled permit means the money is committed and the schedule is being built. For roofers that is weeks to months of warning before the call goes out.
Split the list. Housing permits you chase this week and win on being reachable; commercial ones you chase by finding the general contractor and getting on the bid list.
Track the ones you contact somewhere that will remind you, because the trade call on most of these lands one to four months after the permit is issued.
