Take advantage of renovation grants to redo your roof!
Since redoing a roof represents a major budget expense, many homeowners in Quebec are looking for grants for their roof in 2024-2025. Whether you do the work yourself or entrust it to a specialist, be prepared for a substantial bill.
Fortunately, various government grants exist, offering financial assistance with amounts varying based on the work performed. Here are some of the roof grants available in 2025 along with the benefits they offer.
What is the rénoclimat grant program?
The Rénoclimat grant is, as its name suggests, government assistance to promote residential renovations, including roofing and insulation work, in order to increase the energy efficiency of your home. This program is managed by Transition énergétique Québec (TEQ) to promote energy-efficient renovations.
Financial assistance provided by rénoclimat
First, note that the allocated amounts vary from year to year and based on the renovation performed. In 2024-2025, the Rénoclimat roof grant in Quebec varies depending on whether you are upgrading your roof insulation or its waterproofing.
For roof insulation, the awarded amount ranges from $50 to $1,575. For waterproofing work, you could receive between $420 and $840.
The grant amount notably depends on the area of your roof, the materials used, and the anticipated energy savings.
Eligibility requirements
To qualify for this 2025 roofing grant, you must meet certain criteria:
- You must be the owner (individual or business) of a building eligible for the grant,
- Your building must be located in Quebec,
- The building must be habitable year-round,
- The building must have been built more than 12 months ago.
Have you already taken part in the Rénoclimat program for a different renovation? Good news: you can participate in the program multiple times.
Homes eligible for the grant
Different types of houses or buildings can receive this home insulation grant, depending on certain criteria. it should also be noted that it is possible to take advantage of the Rénoclimat program more than once for the same property.
- Homes (for example, single-family, semi-detached, row or mobile as well as year-round cottages, etc.),
- Duplex or triplex,
- Multi-unit residential building with a maximum of 3 floors above ground and a footprint not exceeding 600 m2.
If your building meets all of these criteria, you are probably eligible for the Rénoclimat program; however, other conditions also apply, including:
- Having an envelope that is in a suitable condition for the airtightness test,
- Having at least 50% of the total area used for residential purposes,
- Being built on permanent foundations,
- Having drinking water supplied either by the municipality or a private source,
- Etc.
Consult a Rénoclimat advisor to determine if your home qualifies.
How the rénoclimat program works
Before you can receive a grant for your roof, you will need to apply for an energy evaluation of your home before undertaking any work, then once the renovations have been completed. It is therefore not possible to start renovations and then apply midway.
Note that an initial evaluation fee of $150 has been applied since November 1st 2024, but this fee is refundable if you qualify for the grant. The total will then only be $22.46.
If the renovations have improved the energy efficiency of your building and all other conditions have been met, you can receive your grant by mail within 10 to 12 weeks of your application being accepted.
Eligible work for your roof
Different types of work are eligible for the roofing grant, subject to certain conditions.
For example, the insulation on your home’s roof must be at least 20% of its total area to be eligible for the roofing grant, and the amount awarded will vary according to the difference between the R-value of the insulation before and after the work. The greater the difference, the greater the amount awarded. Other work is also eligible:
- Improvements in air tightness (to avoid heat loss and cold air ingress),
- Improvements to ventilation system(s),
- Replacement of skylight(s) with ENERGY STAR certified models,
- Etc.
A Rénoclimat certified advisor will explain to you in detail the eligibility conditions and the procedure to follow to benefit from this grant.
Other available grants
The canadian green home loan
In recent years, the Canadian Green Home Grant was highly sought after, but unfortunately, it is no longer possible to apply. However, the federal government still offers the Canadian Green Home Loan program.
This is a 10-year, interest-free financing option, offering $5,000 to $40,000 for your renovations. Naturally, eligibility conditions must be met and the credit approved. This can be an advantageous option for those who need to borrow a significant amount and wish to avoid high interest fees.
Are you not eligible or not interested in taking this loan? Is the intended amount exceeding the $40,000 offered by the program? Through its partnership with Financeit, Clinique de la toiture FCA offers financing options up to $100,000 with attractive rates and flexible payments.
The logisvert program from hydro-quebec
Hydro-Québec encourages initiatives aimed at improving energy efficiency and now offers several grants through the LogisVert program, which was launched in the summer of 2023.
Among the grants offered, you could receive a maximum of $1,500 for the insulation and caulking of air leaks in your roof. The calculation tool provided on the program portal will allow you to obtain an estimate of the assistance you might receive.
Municipal programs
Finally, each municipality offers various initiatives to help homeowners carry out renovations. The programs and the available amounts vary from one area to another and may even differ depending on your borough; we therefore advise you to get informed before starting your work!
In Montreal, for example, the RénoPlex program offers grants to improve your energy efficiency. Regarding roofs, you might receive:
- $88 per square metre for installing a green roof;
- $50 per square metre for redoing a roof with a white membrane;
- $2 per square metre for installing rigid insulation.
This can represent significant assistance.
Note that it is often possible to combine several grants and assists for roofs, including the federal loan, provincial grants as well as municipal aids. This way, you can save considerably on renovation costs.
Keep in mind that any renovation leading to the increased energy efficiency of your home is certainly a significant expense, but it will save you thousands of dollars over the coming years in terms of heating and air-conditioning costs!
