Annual Shingle Replacement Schedule for Ajax Homes

Best month to schedule shingle replacement in Ajax
Late September through mid-November is the sweet spot: Ajax averages 95cm of snow starting in December, so roof access closes fast. Spring bookings (April–May) are second-best and often 10–15% cheaper.
What breaks in each season
Winter: ice loading on the cap and flashing. Spring: freeze-thaw cracking in the crown from 54 annual cycles. Summer: UV degradation on any exposed sealant. Fall: raccoon and squirrel nesting before the cold snap.
The Ajax scheduling window
We aim to complete pre-winter shingle replacement on Ajax homes by the last Saturday in October. Book by Labour Day for that window — after that we're scheduling against weather.
Common questions
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
Is shingle replacement covered by home insurance in Ajax?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
What warranty do you offer on shingle replacement in Ajax?
Five-year written workmanship warranty on materials and labour, transferable to a new homeowner within that window. Manufacturer warranties on any installed products pass through separately.
How much does shingle replacement cost in Ajax?
Most Ajax jobs land between $13 and $21. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $35. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you offer same-day shingle replacement in Ajax?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Ajax for most standard scopes.
How long does shingle replacement take in Ajax?
1–3 days is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you need a permit for shingle replacement in Ajax?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Ajax. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
