What roof grants are available in 2026? Since redoing a roof is a major expense, some people tend to postpone it, often until more costly interventions are needed. So even if it represents a significant investment, reroofing can help you save over the long term.

Also keep in mind that a roof in poor condition affects your home’s energy efficiency. This leads to higher costs on your electricity bill or other heating methods, and it also has a negative impact on the environment.

Fortunately, different government and municipal roof grants exist in 2026, providing financial assistance with amounts that vary based on the work performed. Here are some of the roof grants available in 2026 and the related benefits.

What is the rénoclimat grant program?

As its name suggests, the Rénoclimat grant is government assistance that encourages residential renovations, including re-roofing and insulation work, with the goal of increasing your home’s energy efficiency. It is managed by Transition énergétique Québec (TEQ) to encourage energy-efficient renovations, and it is one of the best flat roof grants in 2026.

Financial assistance provided by rénoclimat

First, be aware that the amounts allocated vary from year to year and based on the renovations performed. In 2026, the Rénoclimat roofing grant in Quebec varies depending on whether you improve your roof’s insulation or its airtightness.

For roof insulation, the amount awarded ranges from $50 to $1,500. This amount depends on:

• The percentage of the surface that is insulated
• The insulation value before the work
• The insulation value after the work

For roof airtightness work, you could receive between $400 and $800. Here are the details on the factors taken into account in calculating the grant:

• Achieving the air changes per hour rate recommended in the evaluation report: $400
• Exceeding the recommended air changes per hour rate by 10%: $600
• Exceeding the recommended air changes per hour rate by 20%: $800

Eligibility requirements

To be able to receive this roofing renovation grant for 2026, you must meet certain criteria, including being the owner (individual or business) of a building that is eligible for the grant.

Here are the different types of dwellings eligible for the Rénoclimat program:

• Single-family home (detached, semi-detached or row, mobile home, rooming house, four-season cottage, etc.)
• Duplex or triplex
• Residential building with multiple units with up to 3 stories above ground and a maximum footprint of 600 m²

The dwelling must also meet several criteria. Among others, it must:

• Be located within Quebec
• Be habitable year-round
• Have a building envelope that is in suitable condition for an airtightness test
• Have been built and inhabited for at least 12 months before participating in the program

Have you already benefited from the Rénoclimat program in the past, for example, by performing another type of renovation? Good news: you can participate in the program multiple times. 

If your building meets all these criteria, you are likely eligible for the Rénoclimat program. Other conditions also apply, including:

• Having more than 50% of the total area used for residential purposes
• Resting on permanent foundations
• Being supplied with potable water, either from a private source or by the municipality
• Etc.

Ask a Rénoclimat advisor to find out whether your home is eligible.
